How to prepare for your Akashic Records Reading

What to do when you are getting ready – how to prepare for your Akashic Records Reading when you haven’t had one before.

How to Prepare for Your Akashic Records Reading

If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you’ll know that since 2010, I’ve been reading the Akashic Records, both for myself and for clients.

Reading the Records is a beautiful spiritual practice. The insights that come through can range from gentle, timely guidance to profound, transformative wisdom that unfolds over time.

Over the years, I’ve also noticed something fascinating: the energy of the Akashic Records often flows through the voice of the reader.

That’s why so many people prefer a 1:1 session—whether in person, over Zoom, or by phone—because they can actually feel the energy as the information is shared.

So if you’re thinking about booking a session, here’s how to prepare and get the very best out of your reading. Also, having a recording of the reading is enormously helpful, so you can listen again later, once you have processed some of the information, and are ready for more.

How You Can Prepare as the Client – Part One

Your preparation is just as important as mine. Because the Records are an energetic field, our connection during your session depends on both of our vibrations. The clearer and calmer you are, the more easily the information flows.

Here are a few things that will help you get the most from your session:

• Check your technology (if we’re meeting online) to ensure a smooth, uninterrupted connection.
• Avoid alcohol on the day of your reading (and ideally 24 hours before). It helps keep your energy field balanced.
• (I once gave an energy demonstration where two attendees had to step out with buzzing heads—both had a drink beforehand!)
• Stay hydrated before and after your session to support integration. Drink more water than you think you will need afterward. Working in your Akashic Records changes how the electrical systems in the body operate.
• Ground yourself just before we begin, slow your breathing, relax, and come into the present moment.
• Review any pre-session materials I send you. This helps you clarify your questions and focus your intention.
• Arrive on time. It allows us both to enter the space calmly and without rushing.

Your Questions – Part Two – The Most Important Part?

Now, down to your questions, which you are most likely wondering about the most!

One thing I’ve noticed a lot with clients over the years is that they try to solve everything in their lives with one reading. So a client might have three really huge questions in three very valid, important life areas, such as relationships, career, and location.

While all these questions are definitely worth going into in depth, often, as a client, you put huge pressure on yourself by trying to solve them or move on with certain situations at once.

Here are the top 6 questions I get asked during an Akashic Reading, for your reference.

The first question to ask yourself, though, is why are you having an Akashic Records Reading?

The Fifth-Dimensional Call

You may think you are coming to see me with questions about your life, somewhat like a psychic or psychic mediumship reading.

The truth is, though, that it’s much deeper than that. Your Soul, which is connected to your incarnated body by your Higher Self (also known as your intuition), is calling you from the fifth-dimensional aspect of our energetic field.

You are going through a vibrational shift (something I measure for you during a reading, called your Soul Vibrational Rate).

You are most likely beginning to get downloads of energy from your Soul, through your Higher Self, and this can manifest as one or more of the following symptoms: –

• Experiencing clear and unusual dreams
• Sensing energy in new ways
• Wondering about your Soul Purpose
• Curiousity about your Soul-level origins
• Noticing synchronicities in an accelerated way (like ‘The Matrix’ is telling you something)
• Expanded or new psychic awareness

This is your fifth-dimensional call. You are ready to expand your vibration and reach higher. So, while the questions may have brought you here as far as you are concerned, there is much more going on behind the scenes.

How I Prepare as a Reader

Think of your reading as a sacred meeting, part conversation, part energetic exchange. A little preparation on both sides helps the process flow smoothly and allows for a deeper, more focused experience.

Here’s what I do as the Reader before a session:

• No alcohol for at least 24 hours beforehand. This helps keep my energy field clear.
• I open my own Akashic Records to reconnect with my Spirit Guides and attune to fifth-dimensional awareness (where the Records reside).
• Stay hydrated. Water helps conduct energy and maintain clarity.
• Meditate regularly. A consistent practice keeps me centered and receptive.
• Set a clear intention. I take at least 15 minutes before each session to ground, focus, and set the intention for the reading.

In many ways, it’s like preparing for any meaningful meeting, showing up clear, focused, and ready to listen deeply.

A Final Thought

An Akashic Records Reading is more than just a conversation—it’s an energetic event.

When you arrive prepared, grounded, and open, the guidance that comes through tends to be clearer, richer, and more aligned with what your soul most needs in that moment.

One way to grow your psychic ability is to begin to work with your Akashic Records. This expands the connection to your Soul through your Higher Self (aka your intuition).

If you are interested in an Akashic Records Reading, I always recommend starting with the Soul Star Reading.

This reading gives you 3 different immersive experiences of the Akashic Records: –

1. Connecting with your Divine Soul Blueprint (Soul-level gifts, talents, abilities).
2. Hearing about a Past Life that contains a karmic pattern ready for clearing (you’ll recognize this pattern in your present life).
3. Recognizing and clearing present life blocks and restrictions.
