1.What inspired and motivated you two to come together to create your book, Do It Yourself Akashic Wisdom?
It’s very important to both of us to be a positive force in the world. We started by creating inspirational products through our business Coventry Creations about twenty years ago and absolutely everything we do is about healing, teaching and empowering. We’re kinda spiritual junkies who are hooked on the magical element of life. Together we create what we have coined products for the soul and our tag line has always been, this is where magic happens. It was never enough to make tantalizing scented candles. Our products have purpose and at times they are little miracle workers. Everyone needs a miracle once and a while. Fast forward to today and through our own Akashic journey, we found we had even more ways to bring personal empowerment to those who’d like to change their world. We wanted to teach others about the Akashic records and how easy it is to get in and get inspired, so we wrote a book full of advice, meditations and personal stories to show the way.
2. Could you please explain what the Akashic records are for those who maybe new to the concept?
The Akashic records have been around forever, but they have been called by different names, like, the book of knowledge, book of life and the tablets of destiny. We found that every culture has referenced a book where god records everything we’ve done, said, thought of and conspired to do. Many people have felt intimidated by the fact that there are records, because of the threat of penalty or retribution for their actions. I guess we don’t fault them that fear. When we’re bad we’re really bad.
Others have become over the top excited by the possibilities. Here we’re talking about the modern interpretation of the Akashic records. In the mid 1800’s Madame HP Blavatsky attempted to bring eastern philosophy to western ideals and nestled within that wisdom was a pearl called the Akasha or Akashic realm. This realm actively records the activities of the universe and all that means, but it’s not there to exact judgment. Quite the opposite is true. This etheric realm was created with us in mind. It is a dimension where we can go to meet our creator, meet ourselves in all our glory and use the information found there, to help us heal, and evolve our soul. The Akashic records were created for our benefit. Everyone experiences the records differently because this dimension is powered by thought. It’s very sensitive to our thoughts and intentions and what we express through our mind is brought back to us. If we think we’d like to learn why we got fired from that last job, the records will put the information right under our nose. Learning to interpret what you see in the records is something we discuss and teach in our book and a very important part to having a successful and productive visit into the records.
3. Could you explain what is meant by Akashic anarchist sisters? That sort of threw me for a loop for a minute. ha.
In our research we found out that most people believed that only god could look into the records or you have to have special permission or have special skills to get into them, such as be a guru or live a life of purity. Even as people started to venture into the records, the process was too intimidating, difficult or complex for many and they gave up. When we bumbled into the Akashic records we thought, wow that was easy, and possibly we were going to get into a boat load of trouble for it. Guess what happened; nothing, short of a welcome back party. We were astounded and began to look around the records to find out what being in the records really meant. We found the records to be welcoming, generous, and fun and a great place to take a vacation when you can’t afford to leave home. It’s because of the way we entered and pillaged our records that we became self-proclaimed anarchists of the Akashic records. We didn’t follow any rules or protocol and we think the records are just fine with that. Yes, we’re cheeky, but we wanted to let everyone know that, they are your records, so go get’em (Detroit Tiger fan reference). What we mean by telling you to go get them is each and every one of us personally created our own records just by being alive and that alone gives us permission.
4. Why would someone want to tap into the Akashic records? How could it benefit them?
This is easy, why wouldn’t you? How many of us have googled ourselves. Pretty shocking isn’t it? Looking at our Akashic records is even better than that. Our records have lots of data about each moment of our life, and it also provides multiple perspectives of our experiences. We can look at an event in our life from our own perspective, from god’s perspective, and from the other guy’s perspective. This 360 view will teach us so much more about ourselves and will also prevent us from tricking ourselves into believing our own press. Beyond idle curiosity, accessing the information in our Akashic records has many profound benefits. We can heal the lingering emotional and mental affects from a past trauma, we can gain knowledge on a subject like our friend Thomas Edison did. Oh yes he did! We can look at past lives to gain better understanding of who we are. On the practical side of it, we can ask for help with getting a job or finding a mate. A good percentage of our clients need assistance with love and money and we completely understand. Love and money are connected with our self-esteem, and wisdom from the akasha can be quite an eye opener.
5. What are some ways that people can tap into the Akashic records that you would recommend?
We’ll share a secret with you; we are always connected to our Akashic records. It’s where our Ah Ha! Moments come from. But there are times we’d need more that a flash of inspiration and want to go into our records for a real visit for some real tutorials. We have a guided meditation in our book that has you going into your heart chakra. There you will find the door to your Akashic records. The door is the access to your records and they’re just a step away. We use creative visualizations to help your subconscious know that you are moving from one dimension to another. The door is the queue you need to do that. For those who like and need more ritual, we have written a grounding exercise and prayers to say to prepare your mind for the trip. Since we are the sisters of Akashic anarchy, we will be the first to say, you can write your own guided meditation and ritual for entering your records. It’s all in your intention. For those who are new to this kind of traveling, here are some tips. It’s better if you keep your spirit grounded in your body. Imagine you are going within and your records are inside of you. We find the experience is richer and easier to remember and we’re not completely sure what you’ll find flying around the astral plane. Also, before you go, be protective of yourself and your space. Practical protection and psychic protection is sensible. Beyond that, have fun and remember your records are for your evolution and growth. If you find something scary in there, it’s of your creation, just un-create it! How divine.
6. Where exactly are these Akashic records kept and stored and do they have librarians of sorts? Are the librarians aliens? Smile.
The records are in a dimension that vibrates differently than our physical world and this is why we access them through meditation. We go there in our mind. They tend to look very dreamy as if you are dreaming. Always a little hazy and you only see what you are ready to see. The kind of storage facility you see will be completely up to your fancy. Science Fictions buffs may see something other worldly and yes the librarians may be aliens! The energy of your records respond to your history, pop culture and personal preferences, but you can still be surprised by what you see. You are much more vast and complex than you really know. There will always be guides to help you out. Some of them you will never see some will be there every step of your journey because, frankly, you’ll need them.
7. You talk about curses and fears and drains in the book. What are some ways to overcome such scenarios?
Dealing with the bugaboos of life is really the core work of our book. As natural healers, it’s never enough for us to lead you to the precipice but not teach you to fly. In DIY Akashic Wisdom, we not only teach you to fly, we tell you to fly. Overcoming the ill effects of our fears, curses from where ever they originate, and getting those pesky energy drains off of us is a journey of becoming self-aware and learning the power of being responsible for ourselves. Walking an empowered life is a choice and a practice. Everyone has to choose it every day; because we just don’t know what juicy life circumstance is going to reveal itself from moment to moment. We have a four step process in the book that deals with fears that leads to a block. It could be a writer’s block or a phobia. Whatever it is, this four step process will help you recognize the fear and take power away from it and put it back where it belongs, with you. Curses and drains come from outside sources but we still have to agree to give them authority over us. We will show you how to look at the story behind the drain or curse and then re-write it so that oppressive energy is no longer driving the bus, you are. Be prepared to be in charge.
8. This is a wildcard question. What would you like to share from the book with our readers that they might find beneficial?
We’ll do something fun, and maybe you’ll think it’s a cop out, but here we go. We’re going to open the book randomly – as if it were an oracle and write down the first thing we see. Ah Ha! The oracle method never fails us. “Getting started on this path is as simple as stepping upon it, honoring yourself, and being willing to dig deep.” So, have fun kids and be adventurous you have nothing to lose but your fear.
9. Do you have any links you’d like to share and also what can we expect next from the authors book wise? Thanks.
Our website for our book is www.diyakashicwisdom.com. Our website for our company is www.coventrycreations.com where we firmly believe that magic happens for everyone. Our Facebook page is: facebook.com/diyakashicwisdom.
When we wrote DIY Akashic Wisdom, Accessing the Library of your Soul, we ended up with material for another book that focused on healing specific issues. We’d like to bring that out. Also, we think our readers would love to have all the guided meditations recorded. It’s so much easier to meditate that way.
