Consciuosness Shift, but not a simple method, Dec 1 2010
By R. Straw - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Read the Akashic Records: Accessing the Archive of the Soul and Its Journey (Paperback)
I've studied with Sonia Choquette, and am Level 2 Certified. I am also a Certified Practitioner with Linda Howe, through a workshop I attended after reading this book. I have been taught Sonia's simplistic yet very effective method of entering the Akashic Records. I use Sonia's method, coupled with part of Linda's method, when I do professional readings. I write this saying that Linda Howe was the first to get so in depth about the records. I write this, saying, to explore all methods, and be sure to get an understanding of what is involved, by reading this book. Read this book with an open mind, open heart, and no ego. Do know that this isn't the only book you'll want to read, but this will start you in a direction.
Linda Howe enters the Akashic Records through a 12 stanza prayer, not easy to memorize. I like Linda's prayer, I can feel a consciousness shift, but I can't stand not memorizing something I'm supposed to, for one on one readings. Linda never says to memorize it, and I do memorize things, (phone numbers, etc...), but for some reason, the Akashic Record's prayer in this book, I always have to turn to the book or my typed paper to recite it. I don't find that professional or comfortable, so I use what I've easily memorized, with less wording. The Universe wants simplicity.
The first chapters give you a solid background, and knowledge. The next chapters go into properly accessing the records, and certain guidelines. Throughout the book, there are side lines quoted. That isn't needed, and diverted my attention. The sidelines reminded me of advertisements, for some reason. This part of the book goes into Akashic records on animals, plants, government, and public buildings.
The back chapters are devoted to healing in the Akashic Records, and doing readings for others. No where in the book is the third eye mentioned, neither are the devoted guides who do infact, have names. Masters, Teachers, Loved Ones are the only guides taught in this method. Linda teaches about them, without names. These differentials are vague, and there's probably billions of ways to enter the Akashic Records. But again, this book is worth the read if you have an open mind. If you want to do Akashic Records professionally, this is a good background book of techniques.

An ongoing process, Sep 28 2010

I like the book - especially the prayer to "open" the Records. I wish there was more guidance. The process is presented in a casual manner. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to close my eyes while in the records or keep them open. Apparently either is OK but it's not mentioned.
I haven't had any real experiences yet but I realize it's an ongoing process. The more I do it, the more successful I'll be - I HOPE.
Perhaps I'm over thinking and rushing.
As I said - the prayer is absolutely lovely and I DO Believe the Records are there.
(p.s.If you don't believe in Reincarnation don't buy the book.)

Although, right now, this the only Akashic book on the market, Linda Howe does an excellent job in explaining the Akashic records. Her writing is easy to read and understand. Throughout the book she explains many aspects and avenues of Akashic work and does an great job not only giving a good overview but also about the details in the Akashic work.
