Akashic Records reader here. I always do an opening prayer to my masters, teachers, and loved ones, and Lords of the records for their wisdom before going into a past life of another (or myself). I always ask for guidance, direction, and courage to know the truth for everyone’s highest good. I always ask for the ability to share any wisdom with compassion, and I always ask that the information is delivered in a compassionate and healing way. I also ask that only the lives that is ready to heal now are shown to me. I always close the prayer so that I don’t accidentally leave it open for any unintended leak through.
