    Inner Work 277: Akashic Records Guidance + Forecast for June 2026

    Welcome to your Akashic Records Guidance & Forecast for June 2026! We'll tap into the energy, potentials, and main themes for the upcoming month. The Akashic Records are a flexible, transformative, overarching modality that can be blended with many other tools and approaches - including the Tarot. I often hear from students just how much the Records supercharge all of their other spiritual tools or ways of doing healing work. For our June energy forecast, I did just this: combined the powerful, high-level perspective of the Akashic Records with additional insights, imagery, and messages from the Tarot deck. My intention is for this to serve not just as our monthly forecast, but also as a "demo" of how to combine these two potent modalities. Specifically, I opened the Akashic Records (always to establish that connection FIRST) and randomly pulled 4 Tarot cards for these prompts: overview of incoming energy in June what are we letting go of in June? what are we stepping into in June? Akashic Records message to continue expanding this month   You can watch this as a video episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/usExcbKvIok Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

    Inner Work 276: Life-Changing Power of the Akashic Records (Interview 8)

    In this ongoing podcast series, I interview Akashic Records Practitioners who completed my Akashic Records Certification Program to explore how working with the 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and healing gifts - both for ourselves and to serve others how tapping into the Akashic field can help us release outdated, long-standing patterns, beliefs, and attachments that aren't serving us the Akashic Records as a potent tool for psychospiritual development and to align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 Erin Heisel, PhD, a certified Akashic Records Master Practitioner (through my Certification Program), coach, writer, and founder of Aligned Insight Coaching, where she helps thoughtful, growth-minded people reconnect with their inner wisdom and move forward with clarity, confidence, and intention.

  3. NAVIGATING THE SPIRITUAL CRISIS: 1 - What is the Spiritual Crisis or Dark Night of the Soul, and Are You In One?

    May 16

    NAVIGATING THE SPIRITUAL CRISIS: 1 - What is the Spiritual Crisis or Dark Night of the Soul, and Are You In One?

    What is the spiritual crisis or "dark night of the Soul" - and are you in one right now? (If you are, you're not alone.) Some aspects of the spiritual crisis can include: connecting to dimensions, experiences, realities beyond the 3D, linear, human dimension - can include connecting to "invisible" beings such as Spirit Guides, angels, archangels, ascended masters, mythological figures, etc feeling like you're moving beyond the "world of material things" shifting your orientation from a horizontal perspective (ego-to-ego) to a vertical one (connection to Divine Source) feeling like you no longer (or never) fit into the human reality all around you experiencing a dismantling or breaking apart of relationships, situations, jobs, friendships that aren't aligned with your Soul and don't fulfill you anymore undergoing a persistent questioning about "what is all this for?" or "what's my true purpose?" experiencing an identity crisis, where the old "masks" or personality aspects you used to wear no longer fit   In this new "Navigating the Spiritual Crisis" podcast series, we'll explore what the spiritual crisis or awakening really is, how it can look and feel, and how you can best navigate it... without self-sabotage, fear, or feeling like you're "going crazy".  Ultimately, the spiritual crisis is your true Self calling you back home. It's a powerful opportunity to shed the old masks, identities, and roles you've been playing or wearing... so you can embody your FULL human & Divine self in this lifetime, and be authentically who you really are. Join me for a no-nonsense, grounded, transformative exploration of the spiritual awakening process and an empowering approach to the dark night of the Soul. Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

  4. Inner Work 275: Archangel Metatron and the Akashic Records Explained

    May 9

    Inner Work 275: Archangel Metatron and the Akashic Records Explained

    Is Archangel Metatron the "overseer" or "master keeper" of the Akashic Records? What's his relationship to the Records, if any? You may have heard or read something about this at some point, so let's clarify this idea and trace it back to where it really comes from. As always, my highest intention is to provide you with grounded, ethical, clear, and transformative ways to understand and USE the Akashic Records for your evolution. In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll address: who Metatron is and how he is defined in Jewish mysticism (i.e., the source traditions from where he originates) Metatron's role as a "heavenly scribe"... and how this got linked to the Akashic Records the concept of Metatron's Cube the origin of the Akashic Records (as an idea) in 19th-century Theosophical thought how New Age lore, channeled writings, and Angel decks & books fused Metatron with the Akashic Records over time the importance and validity of YOUR actual, unique, embodied experience in the Records... which may include connecting with angels, archangels, ascended masters, ancestors, etc. You can also watch this as a video episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/11PlWtNWP7k Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

    Inner Work 274: Akashic Records Guidance + Forecast for May 2026 (with extra insights from the Tarot)

    Welcome to your Akashic Records Forecast for May 2026! We'll tap into the energy, potentials, and main themes for the upcoming month. The Akashic Records are a flexible, transformative, overarching modality that can be blended with many other tools and approaches - including the Tarot. I often hear from students just how much the Records supercharge all of their other spiritual tools or ways of doing healing work. For our May energy forecast, I did just this - combined the powerful, high-level perspective of the Akashic Records with additional insights, imagery, and messages from the Tarot deck. My intention is for this to serve not just as our monthly forecast, but also as a "demo" of how to combine these two potent modalities. Specifically, I opened the Akashic Records (always to establish that connection FIRST) and then pulled 4 Tarot cards for these prompts: What's happening at the collective level in May 2026? What's going on at the personal level (i.e., for each of us at a more individual level) in May 2026? What are you being asked to release or transform this month? What's your Soul asking you to focus on this month? You can also watch this as a video episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/N350SxAfju0 As mentioned in the episode, here's my guided Akashic Records meditation to Receive Goodness & Abundance.

    Inner Work 273: Answering subscriber questions about the Akashic Records

    This is a follow-up to bonus episode "Can we keep the Akashic Records open ALL of the time?" In that previous video, we explored whether it's possible to keep the Akashic Records open all of the time, 24/7... and some of my suggestions for doing so. In this follow-up, I address a few subscribers' questions to explore: what's the value and use of a portal (opening) prayer or method to intentionally open & access the Akashic Records? the multiple functions of an opening prayer or method how the Akashic Records help you transcend ego and become a clear channel for Divine guidance the importance of recognizing our own blindspots and ego interference when working with the Records (especially if we're serving clients) how the Akashic Records help you stay connected to Divine Source at all times, as you move through your day   Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

    BONUS: Akashic Records open 24/7??

    💫 Get the FREE AKASHIC RECORDS MINI COURSE: https://josephinehardman.com/akashic-records-intro/ "Can I keep my Akashic Records open all of the time?" and "What happens if I forget to close the Records?" are two of the TOP questions I get as an Akashic Records teacher. The Akashic Records, also known as the "Book of Life", are a vast storehouse of information and Universal guidance. As their name implies, the Records "record" all of our deeds, actions, choices, etc across all dimensions of time and space. As a Divine tool, the Records give you access to higher consciousness, quantum healing, and powerful life-changing insights. And the best thing - EVERYONE has the Divine birthright to access and read the Akashic Records, under certain ethical guidelines and with a clean and pure intention. In this episode, we'll explore: what happens if you keep the Records open all of the time (is it possible?) some considerations so you can get the MOST from your work with the Records, without overwhelm or doing too much, too soon how to acclimate to the higher frequency of the Akashic Records gradually important distinction between reading the Records for yourself versus reading for others (ethical guidelines for practitioners)   Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

  8. Inner Work 272: Akashic Records Meditation - The Four Elements Guided Journey

    Apr 9

    Inner Work 272: Akashic Records Meditation - The Four Elements Guided Journey

    In this Akashic Records meditation, I'll guide you through 4 different settings within the Records to harness the energy and healing power of the 4 elements: Water, Air, Earth, and Fire. We'll also do some healing, releasing, and clearing of what no longer serves you while we spend this time together in the Akashic Field. Join me for this profound journey where you'll receive healing and light directly from the Records (and from Divine Source). Suggested guidance to get the MOST from this meditation: make sure you can carve out sacred time for yourself and won't be interrupted eliminate background noise and distraction as much as possible listen with headphones or on your favorite speakers set an intention to leave mental chatter, ego mind, unrelated to-do lists or thoughts, etc and any other form of resistance at the door (as much as possible) please release expectations or attachments about how this meditation "should" unfold, and stay open to wherever the Records take you. The Akashic Records always provide us with EXACTLY what we most need, every time we journey there (never more and never less) get as physically comfortable as you can. It doesn't matter if you do this meditation sitting up or lying down; whatever feels most supportive for your body is great. You can also experiment with closing your eyes to go deeply within, or keeping your eyes softly open please do not drive or operate heavy machinery while listening to this : )   Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.
