I always love a good reading, so when I had the opportunity to experience an Akashic Records reading from a new member of the Head + Heart wellness directory named Katrina Slade, I was an immediate yes.
I’d never had an Akashic Records reading before and always been curious to try! It had been described to me as a kind of cloud-based record or energetic archive holding the imprints of every past life, karmic pattern, and soul agreement that continues to shape this current one.
What are the Akashic Records?
The Akashic Records are said to be less a place than a field: a living record of the soul’s journey, accessed not through logic but through intuition. Practitioners who work with the Records act as translators, connecting with a person’s guides or higher self to retrieve what’s relevant now, as a mirror held up to what the soul already knows.
“Understanding the Akashic Records starts with understanding that everything is energy. Everything. Your soul. Your beliefs. The company you’ve created or work for. Concepts like Love, Transformation, Purpose, or any other idea you can name, is energy. What’s solid – cars, bodies, houses, the slightly wobbly table at your favorite coffee shop – is simply a flow of energy that has combined with intention in order to form a three-dimensional shape you can touch, taste, hear, see, smell, or sense. Because your soul is energy, you are connecting with the flow of your own soul when you access the Akashic Records. And because energy flows and connects without limitations, your soul can connect with the energy of everything: past, present, and potential. In other words, the information that comes through your Akashic Records is from your soul and its connection to the flow of universal energy.” – Maribeth Stephens, Akashic Balance.
While I’d been curious for years, I hadn’t pulled the trigger on booking a reading. Maybe because, if I’m honest, the Akashic records falls just outside the realms of woo that I’d usually invest in! However, I also wanted the opportunity to receive insight into my life, my energy, and my purpose in this way, was genuinely excited to meet my reader, Katrina Slade, and blown away by the accuracy of the reading.
What happened in my Akashic Records reading
The session began with Katrina connecting to my main guide, whom she’d accessed before our call to tap into questions around core life lessons I’m here to learn, my biggest blocks, my most significant past lives affecting this one, ancestral imprints, and childhood patterns still shaping me now. Katrina laughed at how deep a curriculum I’d chosen to explore in a single session. What can I say? My Scorpio sun always loves digging into the darker places!
Jokes aside, what actually became illuminated during the session, was a clear affirmation of the alignment I already have in my life.
In our session, Katrina worked with a specific guide, an African Queen who calls herself Latisha. She’s here to help “school” me, or as Katrina put it, “life has been schooling Meghan lately, and I am guiding her through it.”
Potent because ‘Queen’ energy has been showing up for me a lot lately, and I found it striking that the “key” to my Akashic Records was a bee, which also holds real significance for me right now and has been showing up in all areas of my life. You can’t make this stuff up!
As Katrina began the reading, every shred of skepticist I brought in with me, completely dissolved. The Akashic guidance Katrina brought me matched, almost exactly, the soul path I already know I’m on. Before she knew anything about me, she explained that my top three lessons are being Present, Heart-work (through the body), and Sacred Sexuality & Feminine Awakening.
Some of the most helpful illuminations came via past life lessons. For example, I learned of anger from past lives that still holds shards in this one, with one of my main blocks being the release of emotional pain that’s been restricting my own channels of receiving. Katrina told me that heart-work and body-based healing would be most helpful for releasing this old pain.
Another big takeaway from the session was an affirmation that the current life season I’m in, is about learning to trust the unknown, which is something I have absolutely been schooled in lately as I navigate a move abroad with my family.
A particularly beautiful message that I’ve carried ever since the reading was when Katrina asked the Akashic records about the highest expression of my work in the world. She received was a vision of me floating in an inner tube down a beautiful river, surrounded by amazing humans, with a party-like energy around every corner. She shared this as a metaphor for how my work gets to feel: in flow, in beauty, magnetizing, and working with the most incredible humans. The way she translated what the Akashic Records revealed felt incredibly true to my soul and brought me deep affirmation during this season of unknowns. The sessions affirmed the work I’m doing to support embodied business, and the importance of deepening trust in my intuition.
So, in conclusion, I’m officially and Akashic Records Reading convert! I’d highly recommend an Akashic Reading to anyone out there who wants to understand their past lives and karmas, and how those patterns are expressed in this lifetime, or to anyone wanting greater clarity on what their soul is here to do.
