The spiritual community is not immune to unhealthy dynamics.
The Akashic Records are a sacred space. They allow you to explore your soul plan, past lives, karmic lessons, and incarnation choices. But like any powerful spiritual tool, they require ethics, maturity, and responsibility.
Some practices — sometimes without harmful intent — can create fear, dependency, or an unhealthy power imbalance between practitioner and client.
Here are 5 red flags to watch for before booking an Akashic Records reading.
But before we go further…
What Are the Akashic Records?
The Akashic Records are often described as the energetic memory of the soul.
They are not a physical place, but a field of consciousness where your soul’s experiences across different lifetimes are recorded.
During an Akashic Records reading, you may explore:
your soul plan
your past lives
your karmic contracts
repeating patterns your soul is working to transform
the lessons you came here to integrate
The purpose is not to predict the future or tell you what to do.
An Akashic Records reading is meant to bring clarity, understanding, and alignment so you can exercise your free will with greater awareness.
5 Red Flags Before Booking an Akashic Records Reading
1. The Practitioner Positions Themselves as the Ultimate Authority
An ethical reading never places the reader on a pedestal. If someone implies they have exclusive access to divine truth and you do not — that’s a red flag.
No one knows your soul better than you. A skilled reader acts as a bridge, not a superior authority.
The Akashic Records do not remove your spiritual sovereignty. They reinforce it.
2. The Reading Creates Fear
If someone tells you:
your soul is “dark”
you have a negative entity attached
you are cursed
you must pay more money to “fix” something
Pause.
Fear is a manipulation tool, not a healing tool.
The Akashic Records do not condemn. They illuminate.
A session may address wounds, karmic memories, or repeating patterns — but always within a safe, grounded container and with practical integration.
3. You Are Made Dependent on Readings
If you’re told you must return constantly to know what decisions to make…
There is an imbalance.
A healthy Akashic reading reconnects you to your own intuition.
It helps you understand your soul plan so you can make aligned choices — without relying on a permanent intermediary.
An ethical practitioner wants you to become empowered.
4. Information Overload Without Integration
Some readings become information dumps.
Many details. Many past lives. Many concepts.
But no pause. No integration. No real transformation.
A powerful session operates on multiple levels:
cognitive (understanding)
emotional (release)
energetic (realignment)
somatic (body awareness)
Information alone does not transform. Integration does.
5. Your Questions Are Not Grounded in Your Current Life
Exploring your soul origins or past lives can be fascinating.
But if the reading never connects that information to your current relationships, challenges, or decisions, there is a risk of spiritual bypassing.
The Akashic Records serve your evolution here and now.
A powerful question is not:
“Where does my soul come from?”
But rather:
“How can this information help me live more aligned today?”
Why Ethics Matter in the Akashic Records
Working with soul plans, karma, and past lives touches deep layers of the human experience.
Without solid training, personal development, and awareness of power dynamics, a practitioner can — even unintentionally — create confusion or dependency.
As a psychic medium and Akashic Records teacher, I have seen how essential spiritual sovereignty is. This is why my work focuses on structured, ethical access to the Records — whether for personal growth or professional practice.
I train students internationally in ethical Akashic Records certification programs that emphasize responsibility, neutrality, and grounded practice.
Training to Read the Akashic Records Ethically
Learning to access the Akashic Records is one thing. Holding a safe, responsible space for others is another.
That is why my Akashic Records training programs emphasize:
neutrality
grounding
collaboration
professional ethics
awareness of power dynamics
energetic integration
As a published author and Akashic Records teacher, I designed these programs to elevate standards within the spiritual community and train practitioners who understand the impact of their posture.

Key Takeaway
An Akashic Records reading should:
calm you
clarify you
strengthen you
reconnect you to your inner guidance
Never diminish you.
Your soul chose incarnation to experience free will.
No Akashic reader, no matter how experienced, should ever take that away.
FAQ – Akashic Records Reading

How do I choose an Akashic Records reader?
