Seeking intuitive guidance is scary for most people.  I remember my first time, and it took me days to convince myself that it was ok to seek answers. For whatever reason, I also had to assure myself that it would all be better, whatever the results were, to approach my future in clarity.   Back then, I came to guidance completely wrong.  I was relying on myself for both permission and support, and that was unnecessary.   I was leaving out something rather massive in the grand scheme of it because I was seeking help, and indeed, it would be provided as a part of the deal?

Now, as the person on the other side of the reading, I completely understand how difficult it can be to work up the courage to face yourself in guidance, but you must remember that the best part about receiving guidance is that you have a guide. I believe this is the aspect of the reading that many people either overlook or don't credit as the priceless gift that it is. Many things contribute to us forgoing the guide's skill and expertise that have so much to do with the need to control and a lack of belief. Over the years, I have encountered so many clients and prospective clients that have done mindless research about a specific spiritual topic or modality that they believe will be enough to carry themselves through the session. More than this, they rely on the information acquired to serve as their guiding light more so than the intuitive guide. This energy of the know-it-all can help create disconnection and  disappointment on both ends for the client and the actual guide. 

Grounding tip #1: Be open to guidance. 

It's natural for anyone seeking guidance to desire answers to specific questions in their life, but as a client, you should also be open to how your guide works best when performing energy work.  Also, understand that any sensible and ethical spiritual guide is always available to what Spirit offers. Perhaps, you feel it necessary to press on in a specific area of your life, but maybe Spirit had called you to your Akashic Records for a particular message.  You can get the "most" out of your session by being active in positive energy and in the mindset of seeking what is available to you.  Negative energy in any form is not the place for your Akashic Records. And by negative, I mean energy that is skeptical, cynical, irritated, disconnected. If you are in a negative energy space, please remember that the Akashic Records is energy work, and the Light flows through you as it finds you. If you want the energy to flow positively, you must present a positive demeanor. 

Grounding tip #2:  You don’t need to solve every problem you have in a single session.

If you are too heavy with questions as you enter an Akashic Records session, you set yourself up to limit the guidance. In an hour-long session, you shouldn't expect to bring more than about five questions. There have been so many times, especially with long term clients, that I receive emails with upwards of 30 items for a single intuitive session. Obviously, that example is on the extreme end of the spectrum. Still, many newbies come to their initial session with hopes to ask questions all the burning questions they have about many different people and circumstances in their lives, and it can be quite overwhelming for both parties. The best questions for your first Akashic Records is session is one that connects you to your soul purpose, questions that will help you find closure or promote soul growth, and questions regarding your creative abilities or perhaps ancestry. These types of questions will almost always provide you with a lot of clarity, empowering conclusions and help you to get to some of the root issues that manifest the difficult circumstances in your life. The Akashic Records, more than anything, are a place to grow and heal. The Akashic Records is a dimension of consciousness in which you can shift your energy just by being there. Because the Akashic Records are rooted in growth, we must direct our energy and language to receive the energetic release. 

We must remember that all intuitive sessions are not equal. The modality I choose to guide others spiritually is the Akashic Records, but I find that many people just want a psychic reading. Psychic readings can be beneficial and absolutely mind-blowing. However, in my experience, there is never a specific direction or end to the questions. One question leads to another question, and in the end, there are only questions, no forward movement, no closure. On the other hand, the Akashic Records is centered on soul growth. In its particular nature, our guidance becomes a journey of its own, to help you realize your soul-level truth, and with its discovery, you shift in energy, release, and become more peaceful as a result.  This energetic event takes place as you allow it to happen.

Grounding tip #3: There is a cumulative affect to the Akashic energy. 

This grounding tip is the pro tip!  Many people are more invested in spirituality and specifically intuitive guidance to appease their fascination and use it as a control method over others and other forms of manipulation.  But, I have found that there is a cumulative effect to connecting to your Masters, Teachers, and Loved ones in the Akashic realm often.  Each time you connect, you can realize more of your spiritual nature.  Initially, most clients start the intuitive process with difficult circumstances that they are unable to overcome alone.  Sometimes we start with a need to feel better to move past whatever is holding us back.  But, what we find in the Akashic Records is our highest self.  We discover loving energy, and we become lighter by standing in its presence.  Overtime our circumstances lighten, sometimes more quickly than we can imagine, and we start to seek for the sake of seeking - the actual journey.   The clients that have worked with me the longest transform because they lean into the process of receiving and putting what they receive in guidance in action.    The Akashic energy has endless benefits, but over time our questions become more concise and deliberate.   And our connection to the energy activates more of our intuition as well as deeper listening.

Now, let me tell you why this is a pro tip. It's like I have been saying, psychic readings are mostly for enthusiasts.   The Akashic Records and it's healing energy is more of an acquired taste. It's not there for kicks and giggles, but soul-level transformation.   Honestly, many people I encounter are a bit put off by the concept of pairing the Akashic Records with Intuitive Coaching, but those are the people that are complicit in the chaos that is their daily life. 

Ultimately, when considering seeking deeper connection through the Akashic Records, we must trust the process.  Healing is ancient, as is guidance.  Considering this, you must remember to let the healing energy flow through you without the need to direct it.  The energy of the Light will always find the wound. And in doing so, the connection between the Light and the soul grows stronger.    The magic in spirituality is the connection you feel as you allow the Light to touch you and penetrate your being. 

If you are considering an Akashic Records session, start with a discovery call.  It may just be the thing to put your worries at ease and allow you to connect before you start seeking the clarity you desire from Spirit.
