Akashic Record Reading With Akemi Gaines, Part 1
September 1st, 2008
Email this article to a friend
It’s time for another edition of Hunter’s Heroes: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Souls. This time, I’m going to be taking that tagline quite literally, as I talk to Akashic record reader Akemi Gaines.
You might know Akemi from her blog Yes to Me, which is mainly about entrepreneurship and life purpose. But more and more people are becoming interested in her Akashic record reading services. Since that’s not exactly an everyday topic, I’m very glad to be able to talk to her about it.
Hunter: Hi Akemi, and thanks for joining us. To start off, I’m sure that most people have never heard of the Akashic records. Can you explain what they are?
Akemi: Hi Hunter and the wonderful readers, it’s a joy to be here today. And I’m thrilled you named this interview series “Ordinary People, Extraordinary SOULS” because that is what the Akashic records are about.
While so many people identify with their physical bodies and their thinking minds, that is not the whole picture of us. We have souls – or more accurately, we are souls having the bodies and minds.
Everything that a soul has experienced through its many lifetimes is recorded and that is called Akashic records. The word “Akashic” is derived from the Sanskrit word “akasha,” which means sky or space.
Hunter: Before we go any further, I think we have to address the issue of skepticism, since we both know what a lot of people are thinking right now.
If you hear about something for the first time and aren’t immediately on board, I don’t think that’s skepticism, that’s just normal. To me, skepticism means having an attitude of “guilty until proven innocent.” I find it more constructive to have the humility to admit that we don’t know everything, and take it from there without rushing to an uninformed judgment.
Let’s face it, we don’t live in Star Trek world, and science still has a ways to go. We laugh at people who thought the world was flat, but then we often turn around and commit the same logical fallacy. Would you have been open-minded enough to consider the possibility that the world was round, when you could plainly see that it was flat?
Even if there’s currently no scientific evidence of the Akashic records (and I don’t know, maybe there is), it would be unscientific to declare that they don’t exist. There was no evidence of lucid dreaming either for thousands of years, until someone finally figured out how to prove it. Of course, that doesn’t mean that everything is automatically true, but I’m just saying that we don’t need to reach a verdict today.
Akemi, do you have anything to add to this?
Akemi: Wow, Hunter, that is exactly how I’d address the point.
Physically we live in the three dimensional world. If there are higher dimensions, the beings in the higher dimension have no problem understanding and accessing the lower dimensions, but the other way around is very difficult. We may observe the signs here and there, but understanding what it is like in the higher dimension is extremely challenging. But it doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
Hunter: Why would somebody want to have their Akashic record read? What kinds of things could they gain from that knowledge?
Akemi: There are so much benefit . . . how many words am I allowed to use here?
Basically, if someone feels they are bumping their head against invisible wall, please consider the possibility that there IS an invisible wall blocking their growth. In other words, if someone has the good intention for personal development and still find themselves doing the same old things over and over, or just can’t let go of their negative feelings, there is a good reason.
The condition of the soul affects us mentally, emotionally, and even physically. So it can cause all kinds of problems – from sleep problem or persistent anxiety to toxic relationships and obsessive behaviors.
It also helps our spiritual development tremendously, so if someone is serious about it, it is well worth it.
My reading is clearing-oriented. By that I mean I check the past events as they relate to the current blocks my clients are facing.
It may be entertaining to learn that you were a general of Napoleon or you were killed in a witch trial, but then, so what? I don’t see much value in learning this kind of info so I don’t go in there, unless it has something to do with the energetic restrictions the client is facing NOW. If it has indeed caused the invisible block, then I gather enough info to understand what happened so that we know what we are clearing.
Hunter: Actually, I would definitely find it worthwhile to know a little about our past lives, even if that knowledge doesn’t help us beyond entertainment value. So even though the focus of the reading should be on clearing the current blocks, if I was Attila the Hun I’d like to know it!
Moving on, how do you go about reading the Akashic records? Do you do it in a dream, in a trance, by astral projection, etc? Do you see the records, feel them, hear them, etc? And using only the person’s current name, name at birth, birth date, and place of birth, how can you locate a specific record? Is it more like looking through the index at the back of a book, or more like a Google search?
Akemi: I go into the Hall of Akashic Records, where all the Akashic records are stored – energetically. So I’ll be in a slightly modified condition, but it’s nothing like you call “trance.” I can pick up the phone and carry a conversation just fine (not that I want to do so while I’m doing the reading, though).
I need to give credit to my Akashic Record Guide (or Akashic Record Keeper) here. I ask for the specific record with the identification info, and boom, he brings it in. Thank you!
I’ve had no problem locating the record just with these info, so I guess it is enough. In terms of how I read it – it’s a combination of sensing, seeing, hearing, with lots and lots of probing questioning.
Hunter: Questioning? You mean you’re not just passively reading the record, but it actually listens to you to know what information to give you?
Akemi: Yes, and that is the challenging part. The Akashic records hold everything – all events, thoughts, feelings, in detail . . . It will totally crash my poor little brain if I try to read them all, or even close to it. So I need to carefully choose and craft my questions to know specific points in the records, which goes back to the discussion that I focus on the issues that are causing problems to my clients now, and just enough information to understand what happened.
Hunter: What is it that gives you personally the ability to read the Akashic records? Are you special somehow, or did you just learn how to do it? Did you learn from a person, a book, or what? Is it theoretically possible for anyone to learn how to do it?
Akemi: I had my own reading and was so impressed that I decided to learn how to do it myself.
Let’s see if I can explain the ability issue with analogy. I think everyone can cook. At least, everyone can cook to feed themselves with something warm. Maybe they can cook well to feed their family and friends. And some seem to have the gift to just know how to season a dish wonderfully. Some go ahead and cook professionally. But then, some insist they can’t even boil an egg.
Psychic ability is like that. I think everyone has the ability to cook, with open-mind and some practice, but not everyone will. Some have higher aptitude and can do some favor for the loved ones quite naturally. To cook for many others, it takes training and experience, better aptitude, and most importantly, the passion for it. Reading the Akashic records is one special area of psychic practice.
Hunter: When you do readings, I’m sure some people approach it as a test to see how accurate you are, but I wasn’t thinking of my reading as a test.
Looking back on it now, I see that my reading contained (1) some parts that seemed very accurate, but which were related to things you already knew about me, (2) some parts that seemed very accurate, related to things you didn’t know about me, (3) some parts that I couldn’t confirm, but only because my memory isn’t good enough, and (4) many parts that I couldn’t confirm, because they relate to things we can’t see.
If I had a reading from someone else, how consistent would it be with the reading I got from you? While some readers out there are bound to just be pretending, if two people are able to accurately read the Akashic records, they should give basically the same information for the same person, right?
Akemi: Well, most of my clients are people that I know only by their names until I actually set up the phone session, and they confirm the accuracy of my reading. If you’d like to “test” me, you can order the reading for someone I don’t know, like your mother . . . (Don’t worry, Hunter, I know you didn’t say that in a bad way).
I’d be happy to do reading for my clients’ family members, close friends, and anyone who has or will have significant influence on my clients’ life, like the person you are seriously thinking of having a long-term relationship with or the person you want to go into business with.
I agree with you that two Akashic readers should be able to give you basically the same reading. Have I verified it yet? Not really, and I guess I’m not responsible for other readers. I’ve had just one client who already had her Akashic record read before by another, and I read basically the same (and some more, actually).
To be fair, I’m going to say the accuracy level of my reading has some room for improvement. The other day, for example, I read that my client experienced significant sense of loss when she was about seven, and I figured someone in her family died then. I thought it was her father. Upon our phone session, she confirmed the loss, but it was her grandfather who was, according to her, “like my father.” We could still address the issue this event caused and I think my finding was good and accurate, but yes, it can be improved further.
Hunter: Part of your service is customized homework to clear any blockages, damage, negative energies, and so forth, to get their soul in tip-top shape. How common is it for a soul to have problems, and should someone feel bad if their soul isn’t in mint condition?
Akemi: All my clients have soul level issues, more or less, so don’t worry about it. In other words, the true reason a client is coming to me is because they sense their soul-level issues. They may not be consciously aware of this, but deep inside, they know.
If it were me, I’d feel bad ignoring that inner feeling and not taking care of the issues.
Falling and straining your ankle is not bad – not taking care of the injury may be.
Now, I don’t want to disappoint you, Hunter, but . . . the Akashic Record Reading you had (I also call it the comprehensive profile reading) addresses the major, most harmful damages on your soul. It is very comprehensive, and maybe you are fine just with that reading and clearing, but it doesn’t cover everything. For people who may find additional issues, I offer Life Situation Reading as follow-up service.
But believe me, what you got in your first reading is plenty. If I put more things in it, I might send my clients into healing crisis.
Hunter: I definitely wouldn’t make your Akashic Record Reading any more comprehensive. Like most people, I hadn’t ever really thought about my soul before, and I was almost overwhelmed by how much information you gave me. It was a LOT to take in all at once, and a great value for the money. For anyone considering getting a reading from you, I would definitely pay the extra fee for the written summary. It’s way too much information to write down, especially when you’re in shock, and you don’t want to pay for the reading and then not have a written record.
After getting my reading and doing my 21-day homework, I’ve noticed that I feel much less stressed than before. In March, I started trying to go for 21 consecutive days without complaining, but it was very rare for me to even make it a week. I had my reading on July 15th, finished my homework on August 9th, and finished my 21 consecutive days of being complaint free on August 25th.
But also, I had some shakeups in my life at the same time, so it’s really hard to determine cause and effect. Anyway, how often do your clients report noticing changes soon after the reading, and what kinds of changes?
Akemi: Hunter, you are lucky you experienced the changes in a mild, gradual way ^_^ Some clients report big changes . . . and while the Spirit will never give anyone more than they can handle, huge changes are tough, you know.
In fact, I just received the testimonial from home business marketer Naomi Dunford, who reported me one of the most dramatic changes I’ve heard so far. It’s on the landing page of my Akashic Record Reading site, please scroll down all the way to read it.
Because time is non-linear on the spiritual plane, it can happen really fast, like immediately after ordering the reading, even before I talk with the client. The Spirit knows you have commitment and will do the clearing, and rewards you back well.
Many clients report feeling light and happy. They start seeing the opportunities and possibilities they previously didn’t notice. They are more in control of their lives, literally. Some see improvement in their physical health. (I just mentioned some clients report improvement in their health. I didn’t say I can cure illness – please consider this as my disclaimer. I’m an Akashic record reader, not a health care professional of any kind. If I may add, YOU have within you the ability to heal yourself of many of your ailments.)
Hunter: Well, this interview is getting really long, so we’d better split it into two parts. Let’s end part 1 with one last question: does this have anything to do with quantum physics?
Akemi: Oh, God, the question about quantum physics! I’ve seen so many people, from well-known Law of Attraction teachers to anyone who happened to mumble those words chastised! Do I have to volunteer to join the rank?
I just have no idea about quantum physics, really. Or physics in general, for that matter.
Hunter: Well, we’ve covered the basics of the Akashic records here in part 1. In part 2, I’ll grill Akemi with the really tough questions about what it all means. Don’t miss the exciting conclusion – subscribe now!
Update: Part 2 has been posted.
Akemi: In the meantime, if someone has additional questions, please ask in the comment section, and I will do my best answering them.

Michael Newton, who wrote Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls, provides compelling case studies confirming the existence of the Akashic Record.
For anyone who has doubts about it, I’d start with these remarkable books.
To Hunter and Akemi: a wonderful interview so far.

“Before we go any further, I think we have to address the issue of skepticism, since we both know what a lot of people are thinking right now.”
Yeah, that would be me.
I do accept that if something is difficult to comprehend, or can’t be scientifically proven, it doesn’t make it invalid or untrue.
Personally, spirituality makes me very uncomfortable. I am much more comfortable with facts and numbers. But this was an interesting read. Looking forward to part 2.

Chris,
You are so knowledgeable. Glad you are enjoying the interview.
Vered,
I love converting people like you
Hunter is very much down to earth, too. I’m assuming he wouldn’t have considered this kind of service just a few years back. We’ll talk about why this is happening in part 2.

I’ve always been curious about my past lives – I have this funny feeling that in past lives, I didn’t exactly live in the lap of luxury.
As far as my skepticism goes, I’m not skeptical at all! I believe that we all have psychic talents that we can develop. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get a reading one day
Great interview, and I’ve subscribed to Akemi’s blog
Looking forward to reading more!

The Akashic records are interesting. The novel I’m writing touches on both the records and lucid dreaming. That doesn’t mean I buy it, but I do find it fascinating.

RL David,
Welcome!
Some people seem to remember past lives. In my case, I didn’t remember until I had my own reading, but I do resonate with the decision I had to make in my past lives, which was a huge decision that lead to my death in that life (by persecution)
WD,
Hey, that is nice! Good luck with your novel.
September 2nd, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Hi Hunter and Akemi – this was a brilliant interview. And Hunter – don’t worry too much about the damage to your soul. Mine was very badly damaged too.
You mentioned shake ups in your life happening at the same time. That happened to me also – I could feel positive changes but there were also some traumatic shake ups. In fact, I’m no longer speaking to some people anymore and while this seemed bad, they were having a negative effect on my life and they’re not speaking to me, because after my reading I told them they couldn’t do that to me anymore.
When will be able to hear part 2 of the interview?

Thanks for this great interview with Akemi, Hunter.
Looking forward to the second installment.
You know, I have been feeling blocked and I do understand that our past reactions lead to the present (karma) and I have been working hard on letting things go. And I’m having a hard time because I am always slipping back into the old patterns.
But I’m wondering how does knowing what happened in the past help clear it up? Won’t we obsess about it when we find out we were persecuted or the one doing the persecuting in another lifetime?

Hello Hunter (and Akemi) this is the first time I’ve been to your blog and read your very interesting interview with Akemi.
I am trained in the same modality as Akemi, with the same teacher. I just wanted to comment on this part of the interview:
“I agree with you that two Akashic readers should be able to give you basically the same reading. Have I verified it yet? Not really, and I guess I’m not responsible for other readers. I’ve had just one client who already had her Akashic record read before by another, and I read basically the same (and some more, actually).”
I have had a very similar experience with this:
A skeptical client came to me for a soul profile. When he got it, it seemed accurate, but he wanted more proof. So he got a soul profile from my teacher, who gave him literally all the same information. He was glad about it because it opened his mind and allowed him to overcome his skepticism.
The chances of us both giving all the same information (and his soul profile was five pages long) is impossible!

@ Christopher, thanks for those book ideas. I haven’t read any books about spirituality before, but I’d like to.
@ Vered, yeah, I had you in mind. But here are some facts and numbers for you: I had 1 reading with Akemi, which was a 10 out of 10! What is it that makes you uncomfortable with spirituality? I can certainly understand not being convinced, but how does it make you uncomfortable?
@ RL, good job subscribing to Akemi’s blog – it’s an interesting one!
@ Writer Dad, that sounds interesting. Let us know when your novel is done!
@ Akemi, sorry you died by persecution!
@ Cath, I wasn’t necessarily attributing my shakeups to my spirit guides, though if they’re responsible, they’re really good at what they do! Part 2 is coming tonight my time, so it should be there when you wake up!
@ Ellen, I keep seeing different pictures of you and not recognizing you! Are these pictures really all you?
As for things happening in the past, the idea is that Akemi gives you homework to undo the damage to your soul. I hadn’t considered that someone might obsess about something bad that happened to them or something bad they did. The way I see it, my past lives weren’t “me,” at least not me in any sense I can perceive. I didn’t really have any reaction to bad things that happened in my past lives.
Maybe Akemi will have something to say about that. But now, I’m off to prepare the second part of the interview!
@ Anna, great! I’m glad that you were able to win the skeptic over. Different people will need different levels of proof, but if two people give the same five page reading, it’s hard not to pay attention to that!

Great interview! I jumped onto the bandwagon right away with a reading with Akemi when she first emailed me about her new site and service some months back.
Clearing through Akashic records was new to me, when I first did it with Akemi; but I’ve actually done a lot of soul clearing through another method. I’ve seen a lot of my past lives myself to believe that cleansing is necessary in order to cut karmic ties. To experience energetic shifts, soul cleansing can help expedite the process if you are looking to evolve to a higher state of consciousness.
All in, I know what it’s like to be sceptical. I used to have a mountain of doubts over these kind of things. But through experential learning, I’ve come to think that it is true. Hence, the only way anyone can find out for himself or herself, is to go through a reading or soul cleansing of some sort.
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:45 pm
A little more of my 2c:
Hunter,
It’s quite okay. Well, actually, my soul didn’t like it at all once it went through it, but I’d still choose my belief over bending to authority. We’ll all die anyway (and come back, etc) whereas living in compromise will really hurt.
And, yearh, I second Cath. It’s your spirit guides releasing you from what you hate.
Ellen,
Great question! Hunter pretty much explained it, but yes, I don’t just point out what happened, I do clearing of the energetic issues caused by those events. The reason why you need to know what energetic issues you may have and how they happened is that it brings up your awareness. Your awareness helps in the clearing.
Plus, we are never 100% victims. Like in my case, I didn’t have to be persecuted. I could choose to convert, but I didn’t like the idea (still don’t). There is another example in the second part of the interview about curses, and that again demonstrates how both sides participate in the issue, more or less. This understanding is empowering.
However, I think too much detail is probably counterproductive here. I don’t really want to know, at least not ready yet to know, exactly when I was persecuted or who did it to me. So I skip that part in my reading.
Hi Anna, good to see you here!
That is interesting. Come to think about it, I probably don’t want your clients come to me though. It doesn’t feel right to me — it feels disrespectful to you, and I don’t want the potential complication.
Evelyn,
Yeah, you were one of my first clients. Good to see you.
And I’m glad you have the open mind to try out new approaches.
September 3rd, 2008 at 1:21 am
Hi Akemi and Hunter,
I found it interesting how Hunter mentioned he doesn’t feel as stressed as he used to. How is it that a reading would alleviate that emotion?
I’m headed over to part 2. Maybe I’ll find the answer.
Great interview.

Hi Akemi,
Yes, I felt a bit put out when the client told me what he’d done as well.
But he was so genuinely delighted that he’d found ‘proof’ of the paranormal that I felt I couldn’t be annoyed with him !!!
Anna
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:21 am
Babara,
Because he has cleared some of his blocks. Plus he is now aware he has spirit guides ^_^
Anna,
Good. I have the feeling that you cleared the block that was causing him so much suspicion previously. People with deep-set suspicion program running in them probably would not be satisfied even with extensive proofs . . .
September 3rd, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Hunter,
I am awfully obsessive compulsive. That’s why I ask that. You have a different reaction to events.
I just changed my picture with gravatar. No, of course these pictures aren’t all me!
I guess…I’d like to know, if all my past problems would be cleared up. We all want this clear bill of health, you know? We want to shine.
I know Akemi can’t guarantee that. Only we can.
So what say you?
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Ellen,
You are talking to Hunter, so I won’t interrupt — just acknowledging I read your comment.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:06 pm
@ Ellen, as far as past lives go, I think maybe the best thing is to acknowledge that your past lives are in the past, and whatever bad things happened have already happened and can’t be undone. Becoming aware of these events won’t make things any worse, but you can repair the damage to your soul that was done by these events.
Also, I don’t know but maybe Akemi can just give you the homework to clear the damage without telling you what happened in your past lives. I don’t want to put words in her mouth, but maybe that’s an option. Personally though, I’d want to know, so I could say, “Oh, that’s why I have a hard time getting to sleep – it makes sense now,” or whatever.
As far as I know, Akemi can repair all of the most harmful soul damage with a reading and the homework, but I guess I don’t really know that. But then, you still have free will, and having a clean soul won’t automatically cause you to make all the right decisions.
But Akemi, have there ever been cases where someone couldn’t repair their soul damage even after doing the homework?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Hunter,
Great answer! You make the point that what happened has happened already and whether we get to learn it or not doesn’t change it for better or worse. The important thing here is to repair the damages incurred by the past events.
So I think it is critical to know what happened. The awareness — the sense of ownership of the issues — is essential in clearing. And again, I usually give just enough info to bring awareness without going into too much details.
And when we clear the damages, we ask the Spirit to help us. I have total trust in the Spirit that it will repair the damages — otherwise, I’m not in this service.
And finally, you are completely right about our free will. My reading and clearing clean up the slate — what you want to draw on it is up to you.
September 4th, 2008 at 11:41 am
Hi Hunter,
I don’t think I was clear about my pic! Yes, it IS really me. I wanted to update from the last one. I might change it again.
I meant, no, not the real ME. Getting metaphysical here.
But thanks for your honesty and deep searching within the interview and comments. I appreciate all of it.
And thank you Akemi. I have a much better understanding of what goes on with a reading now. I will read everything again.

I’m a little late to this, but I’ll ask my questions anyway. Hunter, did you end up feeling that there really is something to this Akashic Records thing, or are you still skeptical? Hunter or Akemi, what is the homework like? Could you give an example.
Just clicking around on your site, I see that I’m going to have to add it to my regular rotation (I don’t use a feed reader but may have to soon) and set aside a block of time when I can come here and read up. Very interesting stuff.
September 12th, 2008 at 11:51 am
Dot,
I’ll let Hunter answer the skeptical question.
The homework is for the clearing of various energetic blocks such as curses. It is customized to each client. Basically, you ask the Spirit to remove / repair the damages, and it takes a few minutes a day.
Hope this answers your question. I’m still subscribing to this comment, so if anyone has any question, don’t hesitate! I’m more than happy to answer.
September 12th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Oh, just to let you know — I offer 100% satisfaction program.
The detail is on my website under the Order buttons, but basically, you just tell me if you don’t find it valuable what I have found in your Records. No further questions asked, you get the money back instead of getting the clearing work ^_^ I intend to get paid only from people who receives more empowerment than the money they pay.

September 12th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
@ Dot, you’re never too late here! I definitely think there’s something to this, or I wouldn’t have even done the interview. Put it this way: I know for sure that Akemi had some way of finding out stuff about me. So if she didn’t read the Akashic records, then at least she has amazing detective skills, which is almost as impressive!
I didn’t even know she has a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and I think that’s a great idea. What else could she possibly do to be more inviting to skeptics? I think most skeptics probably haven’t had a reading done, so how would they know?
Using an RSS reader is really worth it, once you figure it out. I used to check blogs manually, but it gets really overwhelming really fast.

Hunter and Akemi,
I’ve had five spiritual readings done for me over about 20 years, but none of them offered information that was factual or could be verified, so I may be one of the people Akemi was talking about when she said, “People with deep-set suspicion program running in them probably would not be satisfied even with extensive proofs . . .” In none of the cases was I given any information that I could test or verify from my memories. In one case I set up a bit of a test, and the person failed it badly. Another person said I had a little fairy angel always buzzing around my head and face. I said, “If you knew me, you’d know that would be incredibly annoying to me.”
One of the readers was the foremost astrologer in the U.S., to whom I paid about 3 times what Akemi charges, yet I didn’t find anything I could test out in the reading. I can’t say he was wrong, but he only talked about possibilities and tendencies, not events. As for my past, he was correct only in the most general way. THe most glaring situation in my life at that point was something I had to point out to him, and then he said, “Well, if I look hard, I can see it, but it certainly isn’t obvious.”
Needless to say, I’m more skeptical now than I was before, but also still interested. I have a feeling that I’m not meant to find out for sure in this lifetime. But I’d still sign up for a reading, after reading this interview, except that I’m not in a position right now where I could endure major upheavals, because I’m already going through a lot.

Dot,
First, let me say I am sorry to hear about your experiences with other readers. That is obviously not my fault, but I feel sorry. Also, allow me to say that I didn’t mean you or someone like you when I talked about people with deep-set suspicion.
Having said that, I encourage you to leave the negative feelings where they belong to — the past. Carrying them and going to another reading, mine or anyone else’s, is like starting a relationship with all the negative hangups from previous failed relationships. It won’t affect the accuracy of the reading, but I don’t think you will enjoy the reading fully.
I’m not sure what you mean by “set up a test and the person failed it badly. Like I mentioned in the interview, I admit my reading has a room for improvement. In the example I used in the interview, I knew the client experienced a significant sense of loss when she was at a certain age (take or lose a year or so), and I also figured it has something to do with death i the family. But then I “failed” to nail down — I thought it was her father but she told me it was her grandfather who was like a father for her.
So . . . is my reading accurate and reliable? Depends on how you judge, I guess. I think it is helpful because, whether I had that detail accurate or not, I could clear the negative effect of the event anyway, and that is the whole point of my reading. My reading is not about satisfying the curiosity — it is for clearing.
Oh, and I only talk about specific events like that when there are energetic blocks related to them. So if I do reading for you, I may or may not talk about events in your current lifetime. I would not know until I do your reading, but you know, I’m just letting you know.
I hope this answers your question, and I hand over to Hunter to see what he has to say.

@ Dot, I don’t know if this makes you one of the “people with deep-set suspicion program running in them.” If they didn’t offer any factual information, then I don’t see any reason to believe they were legit. Why would you believe it unless there was something that offered at least circumstantial evidence?
It’s interesting that you’re showing signs of both skepticism and belief (you end by saying that you couldn’t endure any major upheavals from a clearing right now). We can certainly give you credit for trying to be open-minded, in spite of readings that offered no reason to believe.
Akemi will probably stop by here to comment on this. Akemi, what do you have to say about astrology?
September 15th, 2008 at 12:29 am
Dot,
Yes, I agree with Hunter that it is interesting that you show both signs of skepticism and belief — which is quite typical, in varying degree. I think your deeper side (your soul) is seeking help while your mind is holding you back.
Hunter and Dot and all,
I don’t know much about astrology so it would be inappropriate of me to say something about it. My knowledge is the level of knowing my zodiac and occasionally reading the back of a magazine, which is obviously not personalized at all. I’ve never had my personalized chart done. Also, astrology seems to me about one-way info from the stars — what we do with our free will is not reflected on the stars’ location, I guess. (In my reading, free will and what we do with it are big deal) But again, I don’t know much about astrology. . .

OK, Akemi commented before I wrote my comment saying that she would comment!
I’m guessing that Dot’s test was something that was more black and white than that situation with someone who was like a father, as that was really close enough. Dot, if you can share the test, I’d be interested, but of course you don’t have to if it’s something personal.
I always assumed that astrology was just made up, but who knows? I’ve never met anyone who really knew anything about it.
September 15th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Akemi and Hunter,
Very interesting comments. I especially like the comment on my inner conflict about these things. You picked up on something my subconscious was saying. As for believing or not believing, I describe myself as someone who longs to believe, but wants proof.
Akemi, I consider your describing that situation of loss and getting the relationship slightly wrong to be close enough to be a form of proof. But I understand what you’re saying about the purpose being clearing. I suspect I must need clearing because my life is good in some ways, but so vey bad in others.
I’d be happy to tell you about the test. I asked an acquaintance to take me to a reading service by a locally famous psychic and minister. It wasn’t until after I got there that I began to mistrust him. We each had to write a question on a piece of paper and fold it several times. He would read the question without opening the paper and then answer you. I decided to make my question a fake one to see whether he would answer it anyway or realize it was fake. I wrote, “Where is Aunt Pearl’s ring?” There is no Aunt Pearl and no ring.
I’ve read a lot about how magicians could pretend to be psychics with various tricks, such as spreading Vaseline over a piece of paper so that it became transparent. The minister brought a cardboard box containing the folder papers to the podium. No one could see what his hands were doing in the box. He also had a Tensor light shining down into the box. Why did he need a very intense light when he was reading the notes psychicly?
When my turn came, he said, “Something about a ring, correct?” When I said yes, he moved on to the next person very quickly. Yet for his regular visitors, he called them by name and had detailed information for them. Most of it could be summed up to say that their dead relative loved them and was happy and safe.
Some of the other psychics I visited, including the astrologer, were not people I distrusted in that way, and they did not require such odd things to be done.
September 16th, 2008 at 12:40 am
@ Dot, I would mistrust that guy too. I’d like to ask him if he can read a note that you keep in your pocket, instead of putting it in the box that he hides his hands behind and shines a Tensor light into.
September 16th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
I think I have only one more question for Akemi. If we’re here to learn lessons that will help us deal with the karma we came here with, then how is it that we can skip all that and get the karma cleared away simply by hiring you or another person who does clearing?
September 16th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
Hmm. . . again, terminology can be confusing. I don’t think dealing with karma is the sole objective of incarnation. Dealing with karma can be part of the objective, but there are bigger purposes — we want to experience ourselves as physical beings (this is why I used the analogy of a big amusement park — I like to think of this process in a cheerful way), and we want to learn a lot, and as we learn, we are evolving spiritually.
My clearing does not clear justified karma that your soul may be still working on. I clear unjustified karma that you have already learned but for some reason may be over doing it, like taking the same college course over and over after passing the grade. This can happen. And other energetic blocks and restrictions, such as a curse, can happen, too. These blocks hinder our soul’s evolution unnecessarily, so we want to clear them.
I hope this answers your question, but please feel free to ask more if you want to. Questions are good. I’ve enjoyed this interview and the communication in the comments a lot — helps me to see my service in the others’ eyes.
Now, whether you order my service or someone else’s, allow me to say one thing here: Do so when you are ready to take reading with open mind, without the need to “test”.
Now this is not just to Dot but for anyone who may have had negative experiences with “psychics”. I feel sorry for such experiences, but please come to new reading with a reasonably open mind. I mentioned this in my previous comment, but carrying the negativity to a new reading is like carrying the negativity to new relationship. Your new partner doesn’t deserve that, now will you in the end.
Yes, I’m a service provider. I take pride helping people. And I want to be treated with respect and friendliness, as I treat ALL my clients. I don’t deserve to be treated like a criminal suspect on lie detector.
Hunter,
I make every effort to explain this difference — I’ve updated the wording of my Akashic site a lot. But do you have any suggestions to make this clearer?
I have a question for you. So you know my approach is completely different from someone who tries to read a question written on a piece of paper — whether that paper is in a box or in a pocket
Thank you everyone.

@ Akemi, I saw you added a new section called “The difference you can trust” that explains that you don’t answer a certain number of questions, but work on the root cause of the issues. And you say in other places that you don’t need the client to tell you their issues, because you’ll know. So I don’t see why anyone would think you’re a “question on a piece of paper reader!”
I’m not sure I understand. Do people keep asking you overly specific questions in their reading? I think it makes sense that the comprehensive reading is very broad and addresses the biggest problems, and you should have that done before the more specialized readings like the property reading, life lesson reading, and spirit guide reading.
September 16th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Hunter,
Well . . . yes. I guess it is because most “psychics” work in that way — one question for $XX (variation is XX minutes phone session for $xx) and some people are used to them. Or maybe a better way to put it is some clients only know psychics / readers who work that way. My approach is pretty different.
And yes, I think my approach makes much more sense and offers far better value to my clients. I offer Life Situation Readings, in which I take specific questions or problems, but as I wrote in “The difference you can trust”, skipping the first comprehensive profile reading and just taking the Life Situation Reading is like skipping the general checkup and insisting that the doc only checks where it hurts. I don’t think it’s a good idea. But of course, that is just my opinion, and others can take different approaches. I guess if a client already has a very good understanding of her spirituality, point-on consultation makes good sense.

September 16th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Okay, let me supplement what I said. Actually, I think there are a lot of value in point-on consultation. Just as there are a lot of value in visiting doctors for specific issues or getting over-the-counter medicine for specific situation. It’s just my offer is different. So I want to be clear in what I offer.
September 16th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
@ Akemi, I think what you offer is clear. If someone wants to read what it says and imagine something different, I guess you can’t stop them.
September 17th, 2008 at 10:59 am
Hi Akemi,
Thanks, I think I see what you mean. I did not think you were a “folded paper reader.” Your writing makes it clear (at least to me) that you’re an ethical person.
I don’t think testing someone’s skills is necessarily treating them like a criminal or like giving them a lie detector test. In this country, there is so much confusion about spirituality and what psychics and other spiritual workers actually do, and there are people who are faking it and taking people’s money. More importantly, they are messing with people’s hopes and wishes. However, you’re right that we should approach it with an open mind, in the absence of any reason to believe that they aren’t being ethical.
I have been thinking, since first reading this interview, that I want to have a reading with you, but not right now. I have a medical procedure to go through, and have other issues in my life that will get better in time. So, in case the reading would cause me turmoil, I don’t think it would be wise to add it to what I’m already going through.
September 17th, 2008 at 11:19 am
Dot,
I feel for you. Take good care of yourself.
I know my clients come to me when they are ready.

Fantastic interview, Akemi and Hunter.
It’s fascinating to hear how quickly the changes can occur. I didn’t realize that probing was necessary or that there was clearing that could take place beyond just the reading of the records. Very cool.
