Akashic reading is a form of divination that involves accessing the Akashic Records, which are believed to be a compendium of knowledge about every soul and its journey. The Akashic Records are said to be stored in the etheric plane, also known as the "Akasha," which is a term from the Indian tradition meaning "sky" or "space." Practitioners who conduct Akashic readings are said to be able to access this information through meditation, prayer or other spiritual practices. The information in the Akashic Records can be used to gain insight into a person's past lives, to understand their soul's journey and purpose, and to gain guidance for the present and future. It is important to note that the concept of Akashic Records is not based on scientific evidence and is considered as a spiritual belief.
