Rate this book
Do you have an inner knowing that there is more to life? Would you like to identify your soul’s true path? Are you compelled by a desire to contribute more meaningfully in the world?  

In this remarkable book, Linda Howe reveals how to effectively make the shift from ordinary to ExtraOrdinary living—a life suffused with  purpose, aliveness , and light—through the Akashic Records.

The Akashic Records can be understood as the "Cosmic Chronicles of You": an energetic archive, or dimension of consciousness, that tells the story of your soul’s journey through space and time as a human being. By learning to access this dimension, you will gain insight into your earthly experience and discover how to transform your life into one that radiates light and magnetizes good.

In these pages, enter the inspirational, fascinating realm of the Akasha with Linda as she shares her very accessible and student-tested processes designed to facilitate your awakening to your true identity and soul’s destiny. Explore the essential consciousness concepts of the Records, excavate the obstructing beliefs on your path, and learn how to realign to your soul’s highest purposes. Meditations, or  Akashic Reflections , guide you every step of the way.

Application of Linda’s teachings is guaranteed to make a critical difference in your life right here, right now. An ExtraOrdinary life is within your reach! What are you waiting for?

After nearly two decades of spiritual searching, I encountered the Akashic Records in 1994, and have been deliberately engaging them for personal growth and consciousness development (for myself and others) ever since! One of the first ideas I explored was accessing the Akasha as an infinite, spiritual resource for empowerment and transformation. At the time, I thought I clearly understood it all. Little did I know, twenty years later, I would continue to mine the riches of the Akashic Records, now recognizing that I’ve only just begun grasping the implications and meanings of “infinite” and, furthermore, may never fully understand it all!

Along the way, I developed my own uniquely inspired curriculum for spiritual growth through the Akasha, using the Records as the sacred dimension of awareness for awakening and aligning with the Soul. Supporting these studies, in 2001 I founded the Linda Howe Center and created the Pathway Prayer Process to Access the Heart of the Akashic Records©. Working with thousands of students over the years – learning more than I ever imagined possible! – I presented my unrivaled, practical approach to the public with my award-winning books, Discover Your Soul’s Path Through the Akashic Records (Hay House, 2015), How to Read the Akashic Records (Sounds True, 2009) and Healing Through the Akashic Records (Sounds True, 2011).

Through these interpretations of reality and developed spiritual practices, I facilitate rich, rewarding, transformative experiences with deeper truths, providing inspired insights and useful resolutions to Life’s challenges. Whether in personal Akashic Records consultations, or in-person or online classes, working in this way provides an opportunity to see your self and life from the perspective of the Soul, empowering living in conscious alignment with authentic truths.

In a variety of venues – including Kripalu Center, Omega Institute, Infinity Foundation, and Daily Om, as well as the Linda Howe Center in Chicago – I can be found providing interesting and impactful perspectives, practices, and protocols to all who seek transformation and enlightenment in this lifetime. In my Extraordinary ordinary life, I reside with my partner of three decades and our son in a Chicago suburb.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through Net Galley for an honest review.

I struggled with this book a bit. Some of the concepts went over my head or just had trouble keeping my attention. I think I would have appreciated this title more if I had read some of this author’s earlier books. One of my areas of interest is reincarnation and the Akashic Records is not exactly a new concept to me, but I was looking for something a little different than what this book had to offer. This title is focused more on the current life you are in and less on your past incarnations. There is still a lot of useful information and concepts in this book, but less in the area I was looking for.

Who would this book be good for then? If someone is struggling to accept the life they are currently in this book has some great ideas in it for ways for you to find peace and focus. It could help you ground yourself and understand why you might be facing obstacles you currently are. Some of the practices that she suggest didn’t exactly work for me, but I think it might be a case of learning to be comfortable with the concepts and a need to practice.

The writing was good, a lot of enthusiasm and perhaps an over use of exclamation points! She does a good job of sharing examples from her own life and path for reference. Like I said there was a lot of information and terms I was unfamiliar with and a reading of one of her earlier books might have made that better. I might look into one of those titles, but for now I am interested in other areas of reincarnation and the soul. Still I’m glad I gave this one a try.

This book has a very interesting subject matter, that is it's one redeeming quality.
However, the author repeatedly makes it clear in this book that this is not their only book, and when getting to the end of a paragraph will mention "I wrote about this in my second book" or "you can find more information on this in my first book". It reeks of desperation.
Additionally, the writing is very repetitive, I'm sure this 189-page book could have been condensed to 100 pages.

This is the third of the author´s books.

It is immaculately written like the other two, and continues the author´s revelations to us about how to tackle the Akashic Records.

However, I must say the same as I said about her second book, Healing through the Akashic Records, that I felt it to be extremely theoretical and not much practical use to me, at any rate.

Linda again gives us the basics for accessing the Records, including the necessary Opening and Closing Prayers. She repeats the three precepts we must remember when in the Records: “Judge Not”, “Fear Not” and “Resist Not”.

We learn about making peace with ourselves and others. When first accessing the Records and presenting her challenges, the response was consistently a loving expression such as “Of course” or “No wonder”, so she advises that we use these terms ourselves, in order to practice loving acceptance of ourselves and others.

She realized that her human limitations could not corrupt or destroy the perfection of her soul. Every action whether it resulted in injury to herself or others was her best attempt to connect with more love.

Linda presents us with five concepts, each representing a distinct Pillar of Light: Incarnation, Authority, Discipline, Responsibility and Commitment, There is also a central Pillar of Light, Grace, and a separate chapter is devoted to this.

Unfortunately, I found this book, like book No. 2, to be hard-going and thus not easy to read. It is filled with wisdom, but, again, I didn´t find it to be particularly practicable with regard to accessing the Records. I found it too theoretical, and a bit difficult, requiring much concentration to get through it. And I didn´t actually manage to get through it all.

So I can´t recommend that you read the book, though if you deeply appreciated “Healing through the Akashic Records”, you may well feel the same about this one.

A tad underwhelmed. The author makes claims about the Records. However, those claims were not substantiated. Knowing the capacity of who and who cannot access Records, particularly the Records of another, would mean that the author has had contact with everyone who has ever accessed the Records. Not to mention anyone who has other abilities. When there is both metaphysical and spiritual work in play, the author cannot make certain claims to be fact.

In addition to the claims, the steps to opening the Records are so specifically exclusive that it generated the inquiry: How can these steps be universally applied?

Again, if only you can access your Records, but the author can provide universal steps to opening the Records, are we sure that no one else can access another's Records?

As a reader, the recommendation would be to start and/or continue to work with Spirit, your inner knowing, and ancestors. The energy around you is always present -- the Records are with(in) you.

I bought the book because I wanted to know about the subject matter. I put the book down after some pages because what I read did not relate to me.

I picked up the book a second time and read from the beginning again. I had the same feeling like the first time.

The book feels like a reader’s digest version. I found it to be poorly written. The author mentioned a number of times that she had trained thousands of people. Based on what I read, I found the claim hard to believe.

The author referred to her other books enough times that it was annoying.

Excellent book with lots of exercises to help you to access your Akashic Records. I will need to listen again, as I listened on Audible and sometimes was not where I could practice the exercises. Highly recommend.

Good information

This is good information about all the Goddesses and how to connect to them along with why you want to connect to them. Enjoy all the information, meditations and visualizations.
