How to Ideally Prepare for Your Akashic Records Reading with Jay

An Akashic Records reading is a profound spiritual experience that can offer deep insights into your soul's journey, past experiences, and future potential. To make the most of your session with Jay, proper preparation is essential. Think of it as creating sacred space within yourself—a clear, receptive foundation that allows the wisdom of the Records to flow through with maximum clarity and impact.

Here's your complete guide to preparing for this transformative experience:

Step 1: Set an Intention to Connect with Your Soul

Before anything else, create a sacred intention to connect deeply with your soul's wisdom—not just for the reading itself, but for the entire process of preparation, the session, and integrating what comes afterwards. This foundational step ensures that your soul is guiding every aspect of your journey.

Take a moment to center yourself and set this intention:

  • May my soul guide me in preparing for this reading
  • May my soul's highest wisdom come through during the session
  • May my soul help me integrate and embody what I learn
  • May I trust my soul's guidance above my mind's expectations

This soul connection becomes your anchor throughout the entire process, helping you discern what questions to ask, how to receive information, and how to apply insights in your daily life.

Step 2: Set a Clear Intention for Your Desired Life

Before diving into questions, take time to connect with your deepest desires and aspirations. This isn't about surface-level goals, but about how you truly want to feel as you move through life.

Ask yourself:

  • If I let myself dream without limitations, what am I experiencing?
  • How do I want to feel on a daily basis?
  • What does my most authentic, fulfilling life look like?

Consider examining specific areas of your life that feel most important right now:

  • Self-love and personal growth - How do you want to relate to yourself?
  • Relationships - What kind of connections do you desire to cultivate?
  • Money and abundance - What does financial wellness mean to you?
  • Career and purpose - How do you want to contribute to the world?
  • Family dynamics - What healing or growth do you seek in family relationships?
  • Spirituality - How do you want to deepen your spiritual connection?

Write down what emerges. These intentions will serve as your North Star during the reading.

Step 3: Reflect on Your Soul's Journey - Past, Present, and Future

Now it's time for honest reflection. The Akashic Records contain the energetic imprint of your soul's experiences, so connecting with your own patterns and relationships prepares you to receive deeper insights.

Spend time contemplating:

Your Past: What experiences have shaped you? What gifts have you developed through challenges? What wounds are you still healing?

Your Present: Where do you feel stuck or frustrated? What patterns keep repeating in your life? What feels heavy or draining?

Your Family Dynamics: How is your relationship with your parents? What family patterns—both positive and challenging—do you see playing out in your life? What generational themes are you ready to heal or transform?

Your Blocks: What do you feel has been holding you back from experiencing your desired life? Fear? Self-doubt? Old programming? Limiting beliefs about what's possible?

Be gentle but honest with yourself during this reflection. You're not looking to judge or fix anything—simply to become aware of the threads that weave through your life story.

Step 4: Craft Questions That Move You Forward

Based on your intention-setting and reflection, what questions would most support your growth and evolution? The most powerful questions for an Akashic Records reading often focus on understanding rather than predicting.

Consider questions like:

  • What does my soul most want me to understand about [specific situation]?
  • What gifts or strengths am I not fully recognizing in myself?
  • What is the deeper purpose behind the challenges I'm experiencing with [relationships/career/health]?
  • What would help me heal my relationship with [specific person/situation]?
  • What past-life experiences are influencing my current patterns around [specific theme]?
  • What is my soul's purpose in this lifetime?
  • What would support me in stepping more fully into my authentic power?
  • How can I best serve others while honoring my own needs?

Remember, the most transformative questions often begin with "What," "How," or "Why" rather than "When" or "Will."

Step 5: Set Sacred Intentions for the Reading Itself

Before your session, take a moment to set intentions specifically for the reading experience:

Create a sacred space by asking:

  • May the perfect clarity and healing come through for my greatest good
  • May I receive exactly what my soul needs to hear right now
  • May any information that comes through serve my highest evolution
  • May I be open to receiving love, wisdom, and guidance
  • May this reading support me in stepping more fully into my authentic self

You might also want to ask for protection and that only the highest vibrational guidance come through during your session.

Step 6: Release Expectations and Understand the Hierarchy of Healing

Here's perhaps the most important step: let go of how you think the reading should unfold and understand that healing often works through a specific hierarchy that may surprise you.

The Hierarchy of Healing typically flows in this order:

  1. Present Life - Current patterns, beliefs, and choices
  2. Family System - Ancestral patterns, family dynamics, generational healing
  3. Past Life - Previous incarnations and karmic patterns
  4. Planetary - Collective consciousness and global influences
  5. Multi-dimensional - Soul contracts, star origins, and cosmic influences

Often, we assume our challenges stem from past life experiences when the solution might be much simpler—perhaps in our current beliefs, family patterns, or present-life choices. Your soul knows the most efficient path to healing and will guide the reading to address root causes in the order that serves your highest good.

Practice surrendering by:

  • Releasing attachment to past-life explanations for current challenges
  • Trusting that healing may come through addressing present-life or family patterns first
  • Being open to solutions that seem "simpler" than expected
  • Understanding that your soul chooses the most direct path to transformation
  • Remembering that sometimes the most profound healing comes through messages we weren't expecting

The Records often work in mysterious ways, addressing needs at the level where healing can most easily occur. Trust the process and remain curious rather than controlling.

Final Preparation Tips

Before your reading:

  • Get a good night's sleep
  • Stay hydrated and eat lightly
  • Spend some quiet time in meditation or nature
  • Have a journal ready for notes
  • Turn off distractions and create a peaceful environment

During the reading:

  • Ask for clarification if something doesn't resonate
  • Don't worry about remembering everything—trust that what you need will stick
  • Allow emotions to flow if they arise
  • Take notes on key insights or phrases that feel important

Remember, an Akashic Records reading is not about having your future predicted, but about receiving wisdom that empowers you to create the life your soul desires. By preparing thoughtfully and approaching the experience with openness and reverence, you create the perfect conditions for profound insights and healing to emerge.

Your reading with Jay is an opportunity to connect more deeply with your soul's wisdom and step into greater alignment with your authentic path. Trust the process, trust yourself, and get ready for a beautiful journey of discovery.
