Question 1

What are the Akashic Records?

Accepted Answer

First, it’s important to know that you are here, reading these words, because your soul has been calling you; there is something already active within you that brought you to this moment.
 
Reading of Akashic Records is a simple tool for accessing profound spiritual depth. Before exploring what is offered in the Akashic Records Certification program, here’s some information about Akasha and the Records themselves.
 
What is the Akasha?
Akasha is a Sanskrit word that means ‘ether.’ It is a field of energy.
When we talk about the Akasha - the primary substance - we are referring to energy in its first and earliest state – before it has been directed by our individual thoughts and affected by our emotions in this lifetime.
 
What are the Akashic Records?
The Akashic Records are a dimension of consciousness that contains a vibrational record of every soul and its journey. Moreover, the Records are a body of knowledge that contains everything that every soul has ever thought, said, and done over the course of its existence. Even more importantly it contains all desires and future possibilities. Therefore, we can look at the Records as an intermediary body of all past, present, and future possibilities, probability and eventuality. Through them we can derive understanding and direction as we embark on our journey to becoming our optimal selves in the physical world.
 
What else should I know about the Records? The Records are:
 • a catalyst to release negative/unsupportive beliefs and expand your joy
 • a catalyst to heal
 • are nonintrusive and noninvasive
 • not the exclusive domain of any religion on metaphysical-wisdom or school of thought, rather they are available to all
 • a radical opportunity to view oneself and life from a very different angle

Question 2

Can anyone learn?

Accepted Answer

SHINE’s mission in delivering certifications and workshops is to take esoteric concepts - such as this one - and deliver them in an easily accessible, practical way so that every individual with a desire can learn and use this profound, yet simple tool. This training is a way for you to connect to the Divine for guidance, instead of looking to others to be that bridge.

Our five senses are translating mechanisms, however, 85% of the world around us is translated with what some referred to as the "sixth sense." Anyone with a desire and practice can learn how to tap into this sixth sense and the Records.

It's like learning a new language, like French, it takes practice, but anyone can do it.
