My Akashic Records Reading

A Truly Amazing Experience

Do you know about the Akashic Records?  It’s a place where all soul records are kept for all lifetimes, and for those gifted individuals who have discovered how to access these records, it offers a wealth of information about all kinds of helpful things.  So far, that’s not my gift.  I don’t know how to enter or access the Records, but fortunately I know some people who can. 

For the longest time, I wondered if I really needed to access this information.  After all, I do have the gift to channel the Archangels and many other high Guides, and when I have a question, I usually go to them, and they’re very forthcoming with information, so I wondered if I would benefit from an Akashic reading.  Then, one day when I was reading on Substack, I came across an offering by Ahna Hendrix, and I got a distinctive nudge from my Guides when I saw she was doing limited Akashic readings at that time.  I made an appointment.

If you don’t know Ahna, she’s a wonderful, caring spiritual leader in our world.  I’ve been a guest on her podcast, The Soul Driven Podcast, and I’ve benefited from several of her articles, meditations, and other offerings over the years.  We’ve developed a lovely friendship and caring respect for each other, and I hold her in very high regard.  Her insight and desire to help others are highly valued by many.  If you don’t know her or her work, you’d be doing yourself a favor by looking her up. 

What I didn’t know when I signed up for the session was that I’d be requested to generate several questions to ask once she opened the records for me.  She gave me several examples, but I found it extremely challenging to formulate these questions.  Upon reflection, I think I struggled because the questions were supposed to pertain to me specifically, and the questions I ask my Guides are usually questions that pertain to others, not specifically but in general; topics that many of us wonder about and would benefit from guidance and more information on them. 

I came up with several questions, mostly about the many changes I’m experiencing energetically and spiritually and determining next steps and directions at several crossroads.  Ahna sent me a Zoom link, and we began with her telling me what to expect and explaining the procedure, which began with a meditation and a prayer, followed by an opening message from my Guides, which immediately resonated and addressed some of the things about which I’d already formulated questions.

Ahna went into channeling mode and began by describing the opening of many wings, which in my mind referred to my beloved Archangels, and began by saying I saw and knew many things, but not at as great a depth as I might have.  The Guides talked about how I was being called to help the collective in many different ways and that many high Guides wanted to work with me, but that not all of them necessarily would or should work with me. They said I would have to exercise discernment in who I collaborated with, not because any of them meant me any harm in any way, but that my physical body had limits which I needed to be more aware of, paying better attention to the signs my body gave me.

This became the overarching theme of the reading and another gentle reminder of the importance of practicing self-care, allowing my body the rest it needed and paying attention to the signs it gave me. They said my body was a conduit for information, for voices, words, messages and dispatches that I needed to consider carefully as I moved forward.  I was told to pay attention to aches and pains and signs of stress, strain, and exhaustion as I continued my work, or that my body would break down in ways that would necessarily slow me down and force me to take notice of my personal needs.  Obviously, it’s better to avoid a breakdown, and the way to do this is to practice regular self-care, rather than waiting until it becomes crucial.

The Archangels have been telling me for months that I need to slow down, to choose projects based on the joy, hope, love, and peace they bring me, rather than how many others might benefit from them, and that I can’t help everyone all of the time.  They remind me that there are many who are here to help the collective and to serve in a variety of ways that help with The Shift, and I don’t have to do it all myself.  My problem is that I want to help everyone, especially the high Guides who need help from those of us on Earth who can assist them during this huge transition we’re all experiencing.    

Throughout the reading, I was reminded to practice discernment, to choose carefully who I worked with and to use my body’s reaction as a deciding factor.  I was told specifically that if I felt drained or very tired after channeling a particular Guide or helping the collective in a certain way, that was not a good avenue in which to work, not because the Guides would ever hurt me in any way – they are all loving and would never intentionally cause harm to any person – but because some energetic combinations were easier to process than others, varying by individual, and I needed to pay attention to my body’s energetic reactions when it came to working with Guides and on projects.

The following quote was in their opening message to me:

“Having such a powerful voice comes with responsibility which you have carried so well for such a long time, but the vessel through which you have worked is growing tired.”

I was told to pull back in certain areas as I moved forward in others.  In other words, when I begin something new, I need to release and discard something else, either temporarily or permanently.  Rather than adding on to an already full plate, I need to make room for the next helping, rather than just piling more on top.  Adding more without relinquishing in other areas of work results in too much stress and strain on my body.  There’s such a thing as processing too much energy at a time.  The human body has limits, and I need to be more cognizant of those limits.

As aware as I am of the importance of self-care, I have a lifelong bad habit of pushing through challenges, rather than pausing as needed.  I did it as a single mother, I did it when I was helping take care of sick and aging family members, I did it when my husband was terminally ill, I did it when I recently decided to move, and I’m constantly tempted to do it now as I try to find ways to help people and Guides during these challenging, chaotic times.  I need to practice what I preach and remember to take care of myself first, so I’ll be able to function at top form.  I’m actually very self-aware in terms of self-care, but the reading helped me realize that I often ignore signs from my body.  I make time for meditation and energy clearing as a regular part of my life, but it’s become a checkmark, rather than me paying attention to what my body is telling me before, during, and after self-care. 

The Angels have been telling me to take better care of myself for quite some time, but I just chalked it up to their protectiveness and love for me, rather than watching for physical warning signs, and they’ve been there.  Getting enough sleep is always challenging, but I’ve struggled more lately.  I’ve had some digestive issues, more aches and pains than usual, and I got really sick a few weeks ago for the first time in a long time, and barely avoided being hospitalized for pneumonia.  I have to do better.

Once the opening message ended, and Ahna and I discussed it further, I asked another question about how I could reach and help more people in the future.  In my defense, I’d already formulated the question before I’d heard the opening message, but their answer again stressed the need to avoid overextending myself.  They reminded me that it wasn’t just helping Guides that could be draining and stressful to me personally, but it was also helping other people.  They asked me again to pay attention to my body’s signs and to pull back sometimes, rather than push forward.

Also, they explained that while it was fine to think ahead and consider new ideas, it wasn’t a good idea to plan too far into the future, because the world and the collective of people who live here are changing rapidly, so planning isn’t as effective as it’s been in the past.  This is difficult for me, because I’m a planner.  I was told that when plans fell through or were delayed, that I should consider these obstacles as divine intervention, that there were reasons for the delays and cancellations partly for my own wellbeing, and partly because rapid change is the name of the game these days, and plans we make cannot keep up with the amount and rapidity of the changes that will continue to happen.  They suggested that I be flexible, that I may have to redesign, replace, set aside, and/or cancel plans I wanted to pursue. 

They also said that seemingly small projects I might consider could have major impacts I might not foresee, and I shouldn’t just focus on the biggest bang for my buck (my words, not theirs!).  Sometimes, projects that require less time and effort can lead to far reaching results I might not have anticipated.  This makes sense.  We never know how or when we might begin a domino effect by reaching one crucial person who can affect so many others through their own actions. It was also a reminder to me to use the amount of joy, hope, love, and peace a project gives me as a gauge when it comes to selection, time, and effort I exercise.

Finally, it was time for the parting message, and again, the Guides emphasized the importance of paying attention to my body and taking better care of myself.  They said I should consider getting enough rest as part of my job and that it was even more important than the work I planned on doing.  In other words, don’t just put it on the back burner, make it part of my work schedule.

They complimented me on changing from a mentally driven person, as we’re all programmed to be by society, to a heart driven person, and they reminded me to continue to follow my heart and put my mind in the back seat, but that I shouldn’t blindly follow my heart without first considering my body and its needs.  It’s my nature to help others, but I have to remember to make myself and my wellbeing my first priority, always.  They said this fall season would bring many new options and opportunities, but I should take my time to consider them and choose which ones are best for me, remembering that I can’t do them all.  They said something that really resonated with me that I’m going to try to remember, and I quote:

“Know that what is meant for you will happen; there is no rush.” 

What is meant to be will not pass me by.  If I can’t get to it right away, it will come to me again.  We’re so programmed to go after something before we lose the chance, that once it’s gone, just like time, we can’t get it back, and that’s not always true.  When something is part of our life plan, it will find us again and again, until we are able to address it. 

Ahna also reemphasized that it was crucial to pay attention to my body.  She reminded me that we always have a choice, that we are in charge regarding whether or not to follow the guidance we receive.  She also said she wasn’t shown that I had any serious health problems pending, just that I needed to pay attention to my body more and do a better job of taking care of myself and putting myself first.  Sure enough, I just had my annual physical, and I’m in very good health.  Still, I’ve noticed some new minor aches and pains, and I’m going to pay closer attention to them.

Final Thoughts

To be honest, I was a little freaked out initially, especially about the need for me to exercise discernment and to set boundaries with regard to which Guides I work with and which projects I pursue.  It’s my nature to want to help everyone, Guides and people, who come to me for help with addressing the fear and anger I feel so keenly in the collective energy and embracing changes.  I so value and appreciate the guidance I receive, I want others to be privy to it, also. 

I’ve declined to channel two high Guides since the reading, because it just didn’t feel easy and natural, as channeling usually does for me.  There’s nothing to fear from any of the high Guides, and I know they would never do anything to hurt any of us, but I’m learning that my energy works more comfortably with some rather than others.  I’m what some call an open channel, meaning I can channel pretty much anyone, but I’m learning that just because I can, doesn’t mean I always should.  I’ve noticed that I’m more compatible with high Guides who have been known to have walked the Earth, rather than those from other worlds.  That’s not always the case, as I’ve worked with some ET Guides who resonate with me very well, but as a general rule, I do better with those who have a history on Earth.

Of course, channeling my soul and the Archangels are my go-to’s when it comes to getting information and guidance.  Also, Yeshua, Mother Mary, Ganesh, Shiva, and several others are always avenues of comfort, love, and support I rely on when I need a boost.  I’m blessed with this gift of channeling.  I just need to remember that it’s not only for the purpose of helping others.  It’s also to help me.  I have to remember to put myself at the head of the line, rather than at the back.

Happy Friday!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  If you’ve ever considered getting an Akashic reading, I highly recommend Ahna Hendrix as a go-between.  She’s awesome!  I have no doubt she can provide invaluable insight for you, as she did for me.  Sincere thanks to her for the reading she provided as well as the other work and help she offers us all.  She’s easy to find on Substack, various podcast sites, or just google her to find her offerings.

Tonight is the last Friday of July, and the intention for Friday night meditation with the Archangels is Acceptance.  If you have the opportunity and inclination at any time, from any place, call on the Archangels, and they will gather our loving energy focused on acceptance of ourselves, others, and especially those who haven’t yet learned to accept others, and they’ll disperse it where it’s needed most. Don’t forget to spend some time on self-care and bringing more joy, hope, love, and peace into your life.

Blessings, all.
