We're experiencing times of unprecedented growth and SO many opportunities for humanity to evolve, both collectively and individually.

These times of change also bring with them chaos, confusion, fear, and resistance. Just as any inner process of transformation can trigger our egos and defense mechanisms, what we're seeing out in the world is a triggering of the collective EGO - which is fighting back and trying to distract us from our true paths of expansion and reclaiming our power.

In this impromptu episode of INNER WORK, I share some thoughts on how we can re-commit to our paths as Lightworkers and Light-leaders. Join me for a discussion of:

• the recent uptick in emails and questions I've gotten from people feeling anxious about how to discern TRUTH from illusion on their paths - and how this reflects a larger pattern
• the interference that's trying to distract us from being fully powerful and from doing our Soul-aligned work in the world
• not getting derailed by fear-mongering or ego-based agendas, either from outside OR from within the spiritual community 
• leaning into the Akashic Records as a source of clear, meaningful, unbiased wisdom and guidance
• being mindfully alert and verifying everything you hear (from any teacher, healer, or anyone!) against your inner knowing and heart-wisdom

The Akashic Records, also known as the "Book of Life", are a vast storehouse of information and Universal guidance.

As a Divine tool, the Records give you access to higher consciousness, quantum healing, and powerful life-changing insights.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I answer the following questions about the Akashic Records asked by real students:

• do you have to be psychic to read the Akashic Records?
• do you need energetic protection before opening the Records?
• do you need to keep your eyes closed to read the Records?
• should you open the Records at a certain time every day?
• how often can you access the Akashic Records?
• what happens if you forget to close the Records after a reading for yourself?
• what's the difference between accessing the Records and meditation?

In this ongoing podcast series, I interview Akashic Records Practitioners (graduates of my Certification Program) to explore how working with the Akashic Records has transformed their lives.

We discuss topics such as:

• what it means to "hear the call of the Records" (and answer that call)
• the vast healing, personal evolution, and growth that happens when we activate the energy of the Akashic Records in our lives
• how the Akashic Records can help us fully awaken our intuitive, multidimensional, and healing gifts (both for ourselves and to serve others)
• how tapping into the Akashic field can help us release outdated, long-standing patterns, beliefs, and attachments that aren't serving us
• the Akashic Records as a potent tool for psychospiritual development and to align fully with your highest purpose as a healer or lightworker

 

In this episode, I speak with Julie Brock, who became certified as an Akashic Records Master Practitioner through my Akashic Records Certification Program in 2025.

Julie is a deep listener of the human experience and dedicated to supporting people on their journey back to themselves.

She's a co-founder of the Grafted Roots Community which meets people at the intersection of spirituality and social justice. It is a curated, safe community for people to learn from and with others to bring social justice to the communities they are activated in. Through this work, she also offers customized coaching packages for spiritual and health practitioners looking to revitalize their soul’s purpose.

In this conversation, we talk about what brought Julie to the Akashic Records, how she found my program, how she developed her connection to the Records through the program, and how she's using the Records in her work now.

Are you a GOODIST?

Identified by mindbody pioneer Dr. John Sarno, goodism is a personality trait where highly conscientious people put pressure on themselves to be "good" at all times (and to be perceived as "good" and selfless by everyone).

Some other characteristics of goodism include:

• putting others' needs and desires above your own, most or all of the time
• getting your sense of self-value from being "needed" by others
• finding it intolerable when someone else criticizes you, gets mad, or disagrees with you (and so trying to avoid this at all costs)
• playing the role of peacemaker in others' disagreements 
• going along with what others want, rather than making your voice and preferences clearly known
• avoiding conflict by not speaking up when others disappoint you or overstep your boundaries

In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll explore this trait of goodism and how being a "goodist" can become a problem... because it leads you to suppress your authentic self and to give all of your energy and power away.

If this discussion has intrigued you, I highly recommend reading Dr. Sarno's books The Mindbody Prescription and The Divided Mind.

Also known as the Book of Life, the Akashic Records are an infinite storehouse of information, wisdom, and Universal guidance.   As a Divine tool, the Records give you direct access to higher consciousness, quantum healing, and powerful life-changing insights.   In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll explore some distinct ways in which working with the Akashic Records can heal you. For example, the Records can help you:

• shatter 3D illusions (such as the illusion of separation and illusion of lack)
• align with Higher Truth - despite any chaos, noise, or distractions from the outside world
• experience potent perspective shifts, which free you from getting stuck in a fearful or triggered state
• shed "human density" and ego
• understand the spiritual reality behind our human experiences (both personally and collectively)
• receive healing light to upgrade your energy system & physical body
• soothe and regulate your nervous system

The more time you spend in the Records, and the more you open yourself to receive their energy, the more you'll experience these incredible forms of healing.   As mentioned in this episode, here's my video guide "What are the Akashic Records?": https://youtu.be/luWbkNre9xQ   Thank you for tuning in!

The Akashic Records are a vast storehouse of information and Universal guidance.   As a Divine tool, the Records give you access to higher consciousness, quantum healing, and powerful life-changing insights.   In this episode of INNER WORK, I answer a recent student question: "how can you tell when and IF you're in the Akashic Records?"    I describe a few different ways you can "tell" when you're genuinely in the flow of the Akashic Records (including what it feels like & what to look for).   We'll also discuss what it feels & looks like when interference has gotten in the way, and how to know when you're likely NOT in the Records.   Thank you for tuning in!

As humans, we all have an ego self. This is the persona or identity we've developed (unconsciously, as part of our human development) to be able to cope, survive in the world, and maintain a certain appearance in front of others.   The job of your ego mind is to protect you, keep you safe, avoid change, and maintain the status quo - even if the status quo is not serving you. (Ego will always CLING to the familiar and old patterns.)    To try to keep you safe, your ego mind will use sneaky tactics - including making you doubt yourself, making you feel inadequate, and triggering fear when you try to expand beyond your comfort zone.   In this episode, we'll talk about fear and doubt as (counterintuitive) forms of ego protection, and how you can begin moving beyond these ego patterns that may hold you back.   You can watch this episode as a video here: https://youtu.be/lDsunj4W6as   Thank you for tuning in!

In this impromptu bonus episode, I share some guidance from the Akashic Records about what to do if you're feeling overwhelmed with the state of the world today (in early 2025).   This is going out to my fellow Lightworkers and Light-leaders trying to make a difference in the world. I see you, and your work REALLY matters!   I give you a KEY question to keep coming back to, which will help you cut through the noise, reduce overwhelm, and align with your Highest-Level Purpose.   Thank you for tuning in!

The specific words, prayer, ritual, or method you use to access the Akashic Records are NOT as important as the frequency, energy, and state of being you're holding when you access them.   Your frequency matters above ALL else, and it includes:

• the level of openness, curiosity, and beginner's mind you're bringing to your readings
• how grounded & anchored you are in your physical body when accessing the Records (i.e., not using the Records for spiritual bypassing or to "escape" reality)
• the level of safety you feel in your body and nervous system
• the beliefs and thoughts you're holding about yourself, about the Records, about the process of accessing them (especially beliefs having to do with your worthiness & ability to access them)
• your capacity to recognize and dissolve ego mind interference
• your level of emotional regulation & stability
• how much you're trusting yourself and the Records

  These are all essential components that make up your overall frequency.   They determine how deeply, how powerfully, and how effectively you're accessing the Records -- and, consequently, what kind of healing you experience while you're there.   This episode will support you with setting and holding a high-level frequency to POTENTLY access the Records and get the most from each journey there.   This episode is also available as a VIDEO TRAINING. You can check that out here:   https://youtu.be/fFBKqBcWcoI   I'm growing my YouTube channel, so please leave a comment, like, and subscribe if you feel called... this is a huge support and it means everything! Also please share this video or podcast episode with someone in your life who may benefit.   Thank you for tuning in!
