Heather Pleune’s Journey to the Akashic Records

Heather begins by outlining her transition from a pediatric speech-language pathologist and mother of two to a spiritual healer. Her spiritual awakening was catalyzed in 2012 during her husband's battle with cancer, inspiring her to explore Reiki and eventually the Akashic Records.

Heather recounts her first Akashic Records reading, which provided profound clarity and solutions to personal and familial challenges, cementing her commitment to this path.

Understanding the Akashic Records

Jim and Heather discuss the essence of the Akashic Records, with Heather describing them as a “beautiful library up in the sky” housing every soul’s experiences and plans.

Heather Pleune [05:07]: "Akashic Records are all the information that your soul holds. It is everything your soul has experienced since it became its first ball of energy... a volume for every soul and every person."

She explains that the Records encompass past lives, soul connections, personal purposes, and innate gifts, offering a comprehensive view of one's spiritual journey.

Receiving Information: Channeling and Discernment

Heather elaborates on her role as a channel, ensuring that the information received is authentic and originates from the client's soul. She emphasizes the importance of discernment to differentiate between her personal thoughts and the messages from the Records.

Heather Pleune [09:22]: "I am a channel for this person's soul. Everything flows through me and is communicated to them."

Heather shares an anecdote about a session where Jim inadvertently swore, demonstrating how the Records reflect the client's current state authentically.

Unique Aspects of the Akashic Records

Heather highlights what sets the Akashic Records apart from other spiritual readings:

1. Soul-Level Healing: Addressing issues carried over lifetimes.
2. Comprehensive Insight: Linking past, present, and future without being confined to a single lifetime.
3. Soul Connections: Exploring relationships across multiple lifetimes, providing a deeper understanding of current connections.

Heather Pleune [15:40]: "Working in the records means affecting not only past events but also the current lifetime, ensuring you don't carry burdens into the future."

She discusses the use of prayers and grace points—akin to acupuncture points—to facilitate soul healing during sessions.

Conducting a Session: What to Expect

Heather outlines the structure of a typical Akashic Records session:

1. Preparation: Communication via email, consent forms, and setting of intentions with open-ended questions.
2. Session Flow: Grounding, prayer, and opening the Records, followed by an hour of information retrieval and interaction.
3. Post-Session: Recording the session for reflection and further processing.

Jim shares his personal experience, noting how recordings help him process the extensive information received during sessions.

Jim Alstott [29:16]: "There is so much information that gets put out there. Recording is incredibly beneficial because I can listen again and dissect the insights."

Heather Pleune [21:25]: "Our souls come together to work together in a lifetime with mutual learning and support."

Heather acknowledges that while she can provide guidance, the responsibility to act on the information lies with the client.
