How the Akashic Records accelerate your healing

Let me start this post with a personal story.

I grew up with a psychotherapist mom, who believed strongly in the power of self-analysis and self-understanding to be able to navigate life.

My parents put me in therapy starting at age 12, especially to help me cope with our relocation from our native Argentina to Ecuador (we moved and lived in Ecuador for 4 years because of my dad's job).

The therapist I started seeing worked with both children and adults, and was trained in hardcore psychoanalysis.

I remember some of the methods she used with me. For example, with this one particular exercise, she'd say a word (from a range of different words) and then make me draw an image that represented that word for me.

Sometimes, she'd sit in silence for the whole, hour-long session while 12-year-old me tried to come up with more things to talk about!

Other times, she'd ask about my dreams and then analyze what they could mean.

I saw this therapist as a figure of huge authority and intelligence, and I'm only now realizing (as an adult) how much she actually influenced me.

These early experiences introduced me to the power of INSIGHT and developed my capacity for self-analysis and for understanding my inner drives.

(Side note: as with anything, there can be a shadow side to self-analysis, where we become overly indulgent in it, analyzing everything to death, or become paralyzed by this constant "mental churning." So, it can definitely be a double-edged sword!)

From there, I continued therapy for decades.

While in college, I tried Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with its more practical applications. Later, I did a couple of years of Jungian analysis which took me back to dream interpretation and more playful methods like sandplay therapy.

So much of this was valuable and helped to shed light on personality traits, beliefs, emotional patterns, behavioral patterns.

BUT...

... it felt like something was always missing. 

It wasn’t until I leaned into and fully incorporated spiritual modalities - Tarot, Reiki, other forms of energy work, the Akashic Records - that things truly clicked for me.

Through these approaches, I found the key missing ingredient: the transpersonal component. (Meaning, BEYOND the human personality and egoic dimension.)

In making the Akashic Records an integral part of my life, both personally and professionally, I've experienced how the Records can accelerate healing processes that would otherwise take years of self-analysis - or that would never be fully resolved.

This is because working with the Records helps us create transformation on ALL levels – not only the cognitive, but also the energetic and somatic levels, which go DEEPER and are more primal levels than the mental/intellectual.

Anything we think or analyze or hold as a belief or pattern in our lives… it starts as energy FIRST.

So if we can shift things at that energetic level… then everything else shifts, more easily and and in a more lasting way.

One of my certified Akashic Records Master Practitioners, Gretchen Hill, speaks to this eloquently in our recent interview. We also address the multiple levels of healing that are possible in the Records, and how each of us may be called to use the Records in our own unique ways.

I hope something here is inspiring or opens a new perspective for you!
