There are two ways to access the Records, personally or via a professional practitioner.  In order to receive information, the practitioner goes through a transition phase, greets and Akashic Records Guardian(s), then are led to a room in the Records to begin the healing session. It is more difficult for many to accurately access their personal Records.  By working with a professional, you will find the practitioner has a more objective view when  processing the information received from the Records.  From personal experience, I found that I distorted information as I was learning.  Why?  I was not ready to both retrieve this information and remain objective, remain as bystander if you will.  My reactivity prevented me from truly ‘hearing, seeing, and accepting’ some hard truths.  I had and have the option to work with others reading my Records.  It was still hard to accept some of the information, however, it was offered objectively with compassion and love in a way that allowed me to see how I chose to restrict myself due to various traumas.  Working with the information I that was presented encouraged me to accept my portion of the trauma while learning to forgive others who lent a hand in events around trauma in my life.
