Some practitioners have their own specific recommendations or rituals for preparing for an Akashic Records reading, so it’s always a good idea to follow their guidance.
If you have specific questions, I suggest sitting quietly and thinking of the best way to ask. The more clarity you have around what you are seeking, the better the answer will be. It also sets the intention of what the reader should be looking for in your records and intention is key to any spiritual or healing work. Intention focuses energy!
I highly suggest that you be in a space where you won’t be disturbed and that you have time after your reading to reflect. Don’t book your reading when you have something to do afterwards, especially if it requires a lot of your brain power or energy. You will be cheating yourself out of the reason you did a session in the first place. Be able to take time to feel what resonated with you, what knowledge you gained and allow your energy to shift with it. Take a walk, a bubble bath, journal, meditate, etc. And of course drink lots of water!
