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 get the Most Out of Your Time When Having an 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 can be a wonderful spiritual practice. The guidance that comes through can range from simple, timely insights to deep, transformational wisdom that takes a little time to unpack.

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.

Preparing for Your Akashic Records Reading

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 daily practice keeps me centered and receptive.
• Prepare intentionally. 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.

How You Can Prepare as the Client

Your preparation is just as important as mine. Remember, this is an energetic experience—your energy and mine meet in the field of the Records, so how you show up affects the flow.

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

• Check your technology (if we’re meeting online) so we can connect smoothly without distraction.
• 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 before coming!

• Drink plenty of water before and after your session to support energetic integration.
• Take a few moments to ground yourself before we begin—slow your breathing, relax, and come into the present moment.
• Review any information I send you ahead of time. It will help you clarify your questions and focus your intention.
• Arrive on time. This helps us both enter the space calmly and without rushing.

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 you most need in that moment.
