of empowerment which is a critical point for transformation. It’s at this point that they have the willingness to accept and take responsibility for their own actions, feelings and beliefs. Their feelings of powerlessness or victimhood are transformed to a higher vibrational frequency. The Akashic Records are a spiritual tool that can be used to help people evolve in consciousness and can serve as a catalyst for transformation. A soul’s Akashic Record contains an energetic recording of all the thoughts, emotions, events and circumstances that the soul has experienced along its journey. It can provide a practical, spiritual approach to self-discovery that can be used throughout a person’s life. When the soul is ready to release lower vibrations of emotions and experience a deeper level of healing, the effects will become “louder and louder.” One will find their mental and emotional lives being occupied by negative recurring patterns or self-sabotaging behaviors. For example, when a family experiences a death of a parent, it often brings up childhood pain. It can trigger old patterns and evoke grief, anger, remorse and sadness. It can cause people to feel lost, ungrounded and stuck in their personal and professional lives. They can question who they are, where they belong and how to make meaning of their lives.

The lens through which people view the world shifts as they raise their level of consciousness and thus their vibrational rate. This includes how they view their own lives as well as their relationships with the Creator and with others. Emotions have a vibrational frequency, and if people continue to live for long periods of time in emotional states that resonate at lower frequencies, it will have a negative impact on their health and well-being. Emotions such as shame, guilt, grief, fear and anger all resonate at lower frequencies. When people begin to feel courage, this is the initial level 18

contained in their Akashic Record. One person reported that she is much more at peace with herself and feels she can now face situations and her future with anticipation and a positive outlook. She now views her life’s challenges as opportunities rather than dreading them with fear, anxiety and anger. As negative karmic patterns are identified and healed on a soul level, the lower vibration emotions are transformed into love and light and released back into the Universe to be used for good. This opens the door to make different choices that align with one’s authentic self.
People often experience several energetic shifts that can be measured throughout the process of working with information from their soul’s Akashic Record.
First, as a person seeks to learn more about the spiritual realm and their own Divine nature, their self-knowledge and selfawareness increases. As a result, their soul’s vibration rate increases and they’re able to access higher levels of consciousness. This provides them with a greater ability to receive guidance and inspiration from a higher dimension.
