Akashic Records reader here. One very common theme I have found with healers in the Akashic records is a deep-seated fear of being seen or heard or taking their businesses out in the world. The fear often comes from having been persecuted by “others” for telling their truth and being in service to others. These are “the witches who have been burned at the stake” examples.
I also see many who struggle with money in this life who have made a vow of poverty in past lives in mistakenly believing that “not having” would offer them higher access to God.
In my earlier life, I felt afraid of making a wrong decision and suffered with analysis paralysis and of stepping into a leadership position. I found in a past life, I was a General in charge of many young men. But my ego, and not listening to others, and by ignoring my intuition, I directed many young men into a battle that slaughtered most of them. Once I realized this and released and healed it, I was able to step into a leadership role and make, and stand by my decisions.
