An Akashic reading can give you clarity and allow you to connect the dots with your life purpose and journey; It'll allow you to better understand your relationships, your responsibility to others and for you to heal your soul's wounding and others. It'll give you clarity as to why you are challenged and why it feels so big to overcome and you'll also get clarity as to the gifts you bring forth. An Akaskic reading can help you understand your soul's purpose and journey.
Yes, the Akashic records are real and are even discussed in many religious texts such as the Torah (the first 5 books of the bible), the Holy Bible / Torah (in Exodus), The Holy Quran, and others. The Akashic records are not a physical structure library but rather a spiritual /energetic construct that is felt and helps you connect the dots in regards to your life purpose. It's a personal experience that resonates with the individual and soul family alone.

When I'm looking at past lives, I often see what looks like a very long train with cars attached which signify past lives. I'll normally be drawn to one which has a light guiding me in which usually means it needs "healing" or my client needs to know something about that life, the details of it, or the people in it. I often will see a movie play out in my third eye as to which past life is meaningful to the client.
The akashic records are kept in the akasha meaning the sky, the ether, or the atmosphere. I see them in a higher spiritual realm. I simply "will" myself there but I'm not sure I could give anyone directions or spiritual vector points to it.
It's very heartwarming when I'm able to talk about a past life that is affecting the one my client is experiencing now, and they realize how healing and comforting it is and begin shifting into their empowerment immediately. I also like that since I have access to the records, I can clearly determine what's in the future for clients with quite a bit of accuracy.
I would define the Akashic realm as the energy, the feelings, the knowing, smells, tastes, recognition of other soul family souls and scenery of a past life that becomes as real and deep knowing as the physical life you're participating in today.
The first time I visited my Akashic records, I was led by a hypnotherapist. She and I flew over what looked like a railroad track and I was asked to keep watching for the first spot of light beaconing me in. When I dropped into the lighted palace, I was asked to simply witness with my emotions intact. I was directed to look at the scenery, look at my shoes and clothes, observe any buildings and determine from my feelings and my surroundings and where I was. I was asked to pay attention to the architecture, and who was with me, and what was happening.
I would describe it as healing the wounds, the fears, the habits, patterns, beliefs and choices and decisions you've made in the dark ages that keep you stuck and fearful as a soul and especially in this life. It's the healing of your soul's journey from a more empowered perspective, it's the choice between fear or love—it's choosing love in this lifetime, and not fear, to fulfill your own souls' desires of shiny radiance, to fulfill your life's purpose.
