Your journey of a lifetime begins not with a step but with the willingness to consider a new possibility, a new perspective, a new personal truth. 

Allowing the new allows your next step to adventure into new territory, into new possibilities.

Your willingness to consider is the break with a past which no longer serves, creating in this moment your soul’s life journey.

Your life purpose doesn’t exist in some magical world accessible only by the elite and the gifted.  Your life purpose unfolds right before you each time you consider new possibilities and feel within the truth of your next step. 

Know Thyself is an active process of self-discovery, not a process of pre-ordained, imposed steps to the easy life.  Your life purpose is thus not a stagnant thing, pre-determined and beyond your control. 

Your life purpose is the unfolding happening within that you create and that you claim and that you follow because you feel the truth and know it to be your life’s journey, your life’s purpose.

In this world of ours, there is now much needless shifting worry and anxiety about the state of affairs to come.  If you stop and listen to the deepest parts of yourself, you will first see that the anxiety stems first from the ego, inflexible within the change occuring within you.

When change happens, and it always is, change is always without fail an inner experience.  What you see around you is both an indication of others changing and a reflection of your change.  Because humans like to think that their hard inner work brings them to a perfected state where deep inner work is no longer required, you tend to think that it is now someone else’s turn to grow up and change.  However, change is always interactive, meaning your shift ignites shift elsewhere which in turn re-ignites more shift in you.

Also then, change is dynamic, a never-ending dance with the energetic flow of All That Is.  You feel anxiety when you do not feel in balance with your inner shifts or when your inner situation feels out of balance with the outside world.  The question is not about how someone else can be more enlightened, the question is: “How does this person with whom I do not agree or feel balance with help me reflect on or uncover that which is out of balance within me?”

Most often external conflict is about identifying within that which no longer serves you and is ready to be released.  Conflict seen in this light can be embraced as a powerful avenue for change and seeking balance, actually two sides of the same coin of the inner healing balance.

Healing balance is the point within, existing always, between the experience of our spiritual-physical being and the clear view of our soul within All That Is.  When we feel joy, peace, and love, we are experiencing our healing balance.  When we feel fear, judgment, and anger, we are in the process of releasing whatever blocks us from embracing this moment’s healing balance.

We live in a world of dynamic flow which requests our full awareness in this a unique moment in the flow of this infinite time and this eternal space as emanations of the knowable and unknowable divine All That Is.  Thus when someone, something, or some event tweaks your patience, take the opportunity to look inside for your lesson which, if attended to, will guide you to the ability to release what no longer serves and to embrace your most powerful self in the bliss and peace of your healing balance.

Everything is energy. We all have this energetic spark within that is eternal, it never dies. As our spark lives in and moves through the Universe, like all energy, our spark creates a vibrational record. This vibrational record is stored in that immense, nearly indescribable place where our souls (those eternal energetic sparks within) begin. The vibrational record of our soul/spark is our Akashic Record.

“Oh,” she thought. “Then you can tell me about my past lives.” “Yes, I can – that and much more.” The Akashic Records contain the past, present and future of your soul. The information contained in one person’s Akashic Record is at least as large as the Library of Congress. When someone opens your Akashic Record, you have access to this information. You don’t get it all in one large dump truck full. Instead what comes is always in response to your asking, to your intent. And you only receive what you can handle in the moment. The people I do Record readings for find that the broad perspective of the Akashic Records gives them options when there didn’t seem to be any before. And though the broadness can seem intimidating, you feel comforted and supported and able to look at your fears and blocks and release them.

“Mmmm…” my friend thought. “But where are these records located and how do you open them?” The Akashic Records are located in that part of the Universe where there is no physical form, no matter, only pure energy. There is no linear time, no resistance, only divine, sacred energy. Many call this space God. To enter the Akashic Records, I use a simple process of visualization and a blessing. In this process I open a conduit or channel between myself and the origin point of my soul where my Akashic Records are contained. Through this channel I send my conscious intent and I am able to talk and interact with the guides of my records. The information comes in many forms but most often like a conversation with a friend complete with words, feelings, pictures and sounds.

“Wow!” she exclaimed. “Is it scary?” When I first learned, it was sometimes confusing. I was not sure if I could trust myself or even the wonderful information I was receiving. Who am I to think that this is real? I’m not a psychic, I am not anybody special. As I thought about it and finally quit analyzing it, I realized that somehow by accessing the Akashic Records, I was opening a clearer channel to hearing the truth in my heart. The pure energy of the Akashic Records was helping me to raise myself to a new vantage point for self discovery and understanding. I was releasing crippling old fears and finding new ways to overcome obstacles. I was finding new peace within, new ways to be present with myself, and new ideas for addressing my shadow self. Finally, I found that I did trust the Akashic Records and my ability to open them. In my quest to make the Records prove themselves to me, I found my path and realized that the truth and trust had always rested within me.

“Amazing!” my friend breathed. “Is it something I can learn?” “Yes, of course,” I responded. All you need is the belief that you can try to learn. The Akashic Records are accessible to all of us — not as a fancy parlor trick but as a powerful road to self discovery.

“I’m ready for my reading,” she said. And so we began.
