Here’s how to clear old patterns (with help from the Akashic Records)

*Welcome, Lightworker! Join my email community to get access to my free Akashic Records Mini Course plus weekly newsletter.

There are some long-held patterns we might carry as humans – such as perfectionism, people-pleasing, approval-seeking, over-analyzing, and so on – that seem to require a LOT of work to shift.

Sometimes we have stubborn patterns that seem to stay with us for a long time. Or that need to be released gently, carefully, one day at a time.

Sometimes, though, you can just make a powerful decision.

A decision like: I’m DONE with this pattern of people-pleasing.

Or, I choose to set down this pattern of perfectionism and see myself as already whole.

(For example.)

We often come to these decisions once we’re sick and tired of ourselves, sick and tired of the pattern, sick and tired of talking about it, sick and tired of how the pattern has held us back and kept us from creating the life we truly know is possible for us.

At any given instant, you can make this conscious, powerful decision to release a heavy burden you’ve been carrying.

To just set that burden down, like a bag of old bricks.

BUT – you must then be willing to continue making that choice moment-by-moment.

Because your ego, or a wounded or scared part of you, may try to CONVINCE you to pick that heavy burden up again, to carry it again, to make it your “duty” to live out that pattern again.

A part of you may try to convince you that you can’t survive without that pattern (such as people-pleasing… if that’s one of the primary ways in which you’ve felt safe in the world until now).

This is where you can go into the Akashic Records to get help.

Tap into the Akashic field of unconditional love and healing, and ask for help.

Ask for help surrendering what you’ve been finding hard to surrender.

Ask for help letting go.

Ask for help setting down any unhelpful pattern, belief, or habit you’ve been carrying (or that you’ve been tempted to pick back up again).

I’ve been doing all of this a lot lately, especially in my ongoing quest to get better at not taking things personally. (One of MY old patterns!)

I’ve been going into the Records to pray for surrender. Pray for release. Pray and ask for assistance with letting go of what doesn’t serve me, and what isn’t REAL.

My prayer often sounds something like this – feel free to tweak for your own purposes:

Dear Record Keepers,
Something has happened in my life,
Someone has done something that made me feel hurt [or disappointed, rejected, angry, inadequate, etc]
And I’m taking it personally.
I’m taking it so personally that it’s weighing me down.
It’s preventing me from seeing the light and wisdom in myself, as well as the light in this other person.
I need your help, Record Keepers.
I need your help releasing this.
Please help me surrender this pattern of taking things personally.
Help me see the bigger picture here, so I can be free.
Help me let go of what isn’t real, and what doesn’t serve me.
I’m willing to let this go, and I need your support doing so.
Thank you.

The Akashic Records are here to support you, as you keep walking your path. Lean on them!

With love,
Josephine
