Do It Yourself Akashic Wisdom: Access the Library of Your Soul
The Akashic Records, or "The Book of Life," is a dimension of consciousness that contains a vibrational record of every soul and its journey. For the spiritual seeker or the average Joe, most of us would like to know the meaning of our lives. And we'd all love to have a handbook to guide us through the pitfalls and challenges, and learn to embrace our place in it all. The Akashic Records offer just that--a guide to understanding your life and its lessons. In fact, they are a complete library of guidebooks, which help you understand yourself and your place in the divine universe.
Akashic Anarchist Sisters Patty Shaw and Jacki Smith not only teach you how to access your records, they teach you how to break into the library and bring home the books! Through the use of journaling, mediations, personal rituals, and visualizations, you'll learn how to read your records, understand their meaning, and use that knowledge to change your life. With humor and spiritual wisdom that comes from a lifetime of hacking into their own records, Shaw and Smith offers readers a unique and practical guide to learn the true wisdom of the Akashic Records.
Readers
• How the divine communicate with you, every day
• What to do when life throws you a curveball
• The Who's Who of the Akashic Records
• A Glossary of Akashic Terms

Full disclosure: I've met Jacki Smith, and she came across as someone who was quick-witted, level-headed, and thoughtful of others -- which are all qualities seen in this book. While it deals with spiritual subject matter, it's a fun read in an approachable style, not too heavy or esoteric, without ever seeming shallow or simplistic. I think she and her sister Patty Shaw hit that tricky tone just right.
Oddly, I was reading this book in conjunction with watching the last episodes of the TV series Being Erica, and the mysterious time-travel/body-jumping aspects of that show have a lot of similarities with the Akashic Records (a storehouse of universal wisdom and personal knowledge) as described in this book! One could view all the "non-realistic" elements of the show as taking place inside the character's Akashic Records, and it would make perfect sense.
Whether one views the records as objectively "real," or as metaphorical, in a way that can be accessed through imagination and/or meditation, this book talks about ways to use the records/metaphor to make positive changes in one's life. I think it could well work for people even if they don't believe in any "woo-woo."
I'll definitely be looking forward to more of their works!

Very vanilla self-help.

Review on Gnostalgia
This is such an unusual title that it jumped to the top of my TBR pile. I really expected it to be a disappointing mix of new-age fru fru with a dash of nineteenth century Theosophy. What I got was a book that was as entertaining to read as it was informative. I guess their description of the Akashic dimension was the best that I have ever read.
"The Akashic dimension was created as an interface with the universe or higher knowledge (God) so we can count and recount all of our thoughts, intentions, dreams, actions, relationships, faux pas, successes, karmic credit cards, past lives, sneezes, farts, and coughs."
Those ladies had me hooked with “farts.” Not only do I have to worry about wearing my past sins like some grizzly war trophy, but now I have to worry about an Akashic vault filled with the farts of previous lives (and people, I love spicy food).
The book is broken into 14 chapters easy to digest chapters with a nice though diminutive glossary at the end of the book. Having said that, I would like to have seen more than just a couple of pages on the “Trailblazers of the Akashic Craze.” I loved the “Tips” from Aunt Patty and Aunt Jacki. All in all, I enjoyed the book and I give Do It Yourself Akashic Wisdom 4 1/2 stars out of 5. I recommend it for your esoteric home library.
