My First Akashic Records Reading

Just the fact that I am writing an article titled “My First Akashic Records Reading” seems pretty wild to me.

I first heard about Akashic records about three years ago. My girlfriend at the time was a big fan, and often told me about what she learned in her consultations with her Akashic records person. I was just happy for her since she seemed to enjoy it.

Mostly what I had heard about Akashic Records was that it was some metaphysical place in the universe that contains all knowledge from past, present, and future.

As a very rational dude that glorified his own logic and ability to make sense out of things, this was a no go for me. I didn’t understand this, and since I didn’t understand it, I didn’t trust it.

(Oh how naïve I was to only believe in that which I could understand.)

So how did I end up in a consultation with an Akashic records reader myself?

My short answer now would be: Divine intervention.

But to satisfy the wanderings of the mind, I’ll tell you what happened.

My friend Tanai who I had not spoken to in some time, out of nowhere texted me saying..

“I felt I should share this contact with you in case you want to reach out to her. She is my Akashic records reader.”

This was one of the most random messages I had ever received. It was so random that I was intrigued by it. Also, I’ve always been a proponent of “you gotta try things at least once.” So I said, what the heck, I have nothing to lose other than an hour of my time. So I responded to Tanai saying..

“Ok, I’ll reach out to her.”

A month went by and I still hadn’t. I had not given it much importance and at this point I think I had forgotten about it. Then I get another text message from Tanai saying..

“I can’t wait to hear how your consultation with her goes!”

Woops! Integrity alert lol. If you know me, you know that one of my strongest values is honoring my word and doing what I say I’m gonna do.

So I message this woman, lets call her Mary, and I request to book a time with her. She gives me a few times a couple weeks out, and I select Friday Dec. 18th, 2020 at 9am.

There I am Friday morning pulled over in my car at 9am to hop on this video-zoom call with Mary who lives in Argentina.

“Do you know what we are gonna do here?” she asks.

“I ask you questions and you give me answers?”

“More or less. Tell me your full name.”

“Cesar Leonardo Rodriguez”

“Ok, close your eyes.”

Ten seconds later..

“You can open them now.”

And then it started.

“The thing with you is you are a very stubborn soul. You refuse to do what you came here to do, you get distracted in the material world.”

She went on.

“Your soul got lost away from its purpose and therefore it’s sad.”

Sad..

Now it starts to resonate. At this moment I start to see for myself what she is saying. On paper, I had a really great life.

I get to be my own boss in my business, the company is doing better than ever, my relationships with my family have never been better, and I have an amazing community of friends that love and support me. Yet, there were plenty of moments in the six months prior to this consultation where I would be sitting at the office working late, whether on a work project or on the requirements to complete my apprenticeship to be a program leader at Landmark Worldwide, and I would feel miserable. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, I just recall feeling like a kid in detention. Almost feeling trapped in that particular place in my life even though I put myself there. 

I would get coaching from the best coaches I knew at Landmark, and in essence those conversations would leave me with the idea that “I’m disempowerd because I have not been continuously generating an inspiring context for what I am up to.” So I would do my best to ontologically create an inspiring context for my life and what I’m up to and move on. That would work for about a week or two. Then those moments of feeling miserable would keep coming back, and I couldn’t figure out what was off.

At this point talking to Mary, I started to realize that I had been calling this thing “being disempowered” when in fact I was just sad. Period. I was sad and didn’t know why.

She went on.

“And the challenge here is that you are so disconnected from your feelings that you’ve lost touch with your soul and don’t even know it.”

She taught me that it is through our feelings that we communicate with our soul. That might be obvious to some of you, but it was a novel concept for me.

“You have developed a rigid filter made up of logic and rationale through which you perceive everything, and you’re out of touch with the world of emotions and the world of subtleties.”

I expressed to her how I often think that perhaps it is time that I do something else other than run a marketing agency since I can see that it doesn’t jazz me up. 

“Your mind has a very old economic model where some win and some lose. It must break and transform into a model that includes your emotional world.” She responded.

By the way, she mostly would start her sentences by saying “Your guides say…”

So I asked her, “What do my guides say about Landmark?”

For those who don’t know, Landmark Worldwide is a global personal and professional growth, training, and development company that offers seminars everywhere in the world. The technology offered to participants is highly effective in supporting them to produce the results they want in life by guiding them to discover for themselves what is authentic to them. I owe a lot of the credit for my personal development journey to Landmark. Every aspect of my life is better for it. I loved it so much that at this point, 6 years after taking their flagship course, The Landmark Forum, I was highly involved and was actually in the last month of the 18-month apprenticeship to be a program leader.

“They say that there’s nothing wrong with you being there, you just gotta understand that it is not the whole picture. You have to supplement it with emotional healing. Human beings are not computers. You can understand why you became the way you became, but you can’t convince the body not to hurt.”

That sunk in.

“How can I be more in touch with my guides?” I asked. “I see that you keep communicating with them. For me the only times I experience them there with me is during plant medicine ceremonies.”

“They are ALWAYS there.” she responded. “The thing is you are so out of touch with your feelings that you can’t hear them.”
