Akashic record, in occultism, a compendium of pictorial records, or “memories,” of all events, actions, thoughts, and feelings that have occurred since the beginning of time.

You can learn about your past lives by accessing your own Akashic records, so it may help you know yourself better on a spiritual level. Although it can take some time and practice to find what you're looking for, you may be able to access your Akashic records using a simple meditation process.
