Unlocking Your Soul's Wisdom: Journey Through the Akashic Records
Have you ever felt like your soul is trying desperately to communicate with you, but you can't quite make out the message? What if there was a way to access your soul's wisdom directly – a cosmic library containing every experience, lesson, and purpose of your existence?
In this mind-expanding conversation, Akashic Records reader Stephanie Potter reveals how this spiritual modality allows us to reconnect with our divine wisdom and inner truth. Stephanie shares her journey from corporate America to spiritual practitioner, explaining how she initially struggled to connect with her gifts before discovering that everyone's intuitive abilities manifest differently. While some see vivid imagery, others receive direct downloads of knowledge or physical sensations – there's no right or wrong way to connect with spiritual guidance.
We explore exactly what the Akashic Records are – an energetic repository containing information about everything that has existed or will exist. Stephanie explains how accessing these records allows us to receive messages directly from our higher self and spirit guides about our soul's journey, healing, and purpose. Host Justina shares her transformative personal reading experience, describing the physical sensations and profound insights that validated her spiritual path.
The conversation goes beyond metaphysical concepts to address practical wisdom for daily life. Stephanie reveals that many readings emphasize the need to move from head-centered living to heart-body wisdom. By learning to quiet the analytical mind and tune into our somatic intelligence, we can access deeper guidance systems that help reduce anxiety and stress. She offers the powerful "two-minute rule" for dealing with triggers and explains why establishing firm energetic boundaries is essential for spiritual practitioners.
Whether you're a seasoned metaphysical explorer or simply curious about accessing deeper wisdom, this episode provides a fascinating glimpse into how the Akashic Records can transform your understanding of yourself and your purpose. Ready to access your soul's blueprint and receive the guidance that's been waiting for you? This conversation might be the permission slip you need to begin.

Thank you for sharing your soul with mine. Welcome to the Sacred Soul Sisters space, a home of love and sacred embrace. I'm so glad you're here. Hello everybody, welcome back to the Sacred Soul Sisters podcast.
Speaker 1:Today I have the deep honor of welcoming a truly soul aligned guest. This is Miss Stephanie Potter. She is an Akashic records reader devoted to helping others reconnect with their divine wisdom and inner truth. Through her grounded, compassionate, intuitive approach, she supports clients in accessing the Akashic records as a powerful tool for soul level healing, ancestral clearing, life transformations. Her work bridges the spiritual and the practical, guiding people to not only receive deep messages from the records but also to integrate that guidance into their everyday lives in meaningful, empowering ways.
Speaker 1:In today's conversation, we will explore the Akashic Records, what they are, how they differ from other intuitive practices, how Stephanie came about them and what they did for her. How the records can support us in healing, purpose discovery and energetic sovereignty, real life stories of transformation through soul guidance. I will also discuss the session that I had with Stephanie, which was incredible, and how we can begin to connect more deeply with our soul's path. Stephanie's mission, aligned so beautifully with the Sacred Soul Sisters podcast to eliminate spiritual truth and empower others to walk in their light. I'm so excited to dive into this conversation and introduce you to her wisdom. So take a deep breath, settle in and let's journey into the records together. Hello Stephanie, how are you?
Speaker 2:Hello, hello. That is quite the intro. I hope I live up to that hype.
Speaker 1:I got a hype, hype, hype woman over there for me, thank you, Well, you are amazing and I know that firsthand, can you share a little bit about your journey and how did the Akashic Records find you, or how were you led to this sacred work?
Speaker 2:For sure I, since I graduated college, I've been interested in metaphysics, and so I was just taking in a lot of information Right so back in the day, listening to what I was saying, like books on CD. That's how old.
Speaker 1:I am.
Speaker 2:So, like you know, our early adopters is what we would say in the corporate world, but really, like your John Edwards, your Sandra Brown, james Van Praagh, all of the beautiful people that came before and that still work to introduce any kind of method of physical work, right, working with guides, mediumship, all of that channeling, and so for many years I just took in a lot of information, right, but every time it came close to doing the work, I just skipped that page or whatever that practice was, or took online classes, but never did the practice part, and I think some of it had to do with being afraid that maybe I didn't have any spiritual gifts or maybe like it wouldn't work, or whatever that might be.
Speaker 2:And so finally, at one point I got laid off from a job that I had been at in the corporate world for a really long time and had a little bit of a severance money and was looking at classes where I was like, okay, I've got a lot of money and I could take a class where I actually have to do the work, but like practice partners to hold me accountable, and so for me, that's what I ended up doing was finding classes where I had to work with people and you had to kind of do certain things to either be certified or to complete the class, and so I really meandered.
Speaker 2:So I looked at all kinds of things like just generally curious and metaphysics, so talking about tarot, oracle cards, gene keys, numerology, astrology, human design, channeling, mediumship, akashic records, which we'll talk about, and so many other different things, right. And so I was a new age, um, self-help, you know, spiritual age, like junkie to some degree, um, and so like learning a little bit about everything, but then kind of um turning and saying, okay, I got this far in astrology, now I'm going to go to this part, and then I'm going to, and there's so much to learn, right, that's the one thing that we learn is every time we like learn a little bit more the more you don't know.
Speaker 2:And so I came across the Akashic Records because it was one of those things like happens to many of us. You hear about the same subject or the same book or the same movie or the same person three times in a week or five times over three weeks or something like that. Right, like it keeps getting pushed out to you and to me that is spirit. Whatever your beliefs are talking to you. The universe, your spirit, your spirit, guides your loved ones, saying like maybe this right, maybe this check it out and um.
Speaker 2:So I did what everybody generally does when it comes to akashic records, and we'll talk a little bit more about what they are. But I got the book and so, um, there's a book by Linda Howe, I believe it's called like how, what, how to read the Akashic records, or something along those lines. And I read the whole book, and so then I got so excited and I tried to open the records and I did the prayer and all the meditation and all of that, and nothing happened. And so I was like man I guess this isn't for me Like I really couldn't feel anything. I couldn't, you know anything, and so I kind of had felt like, well, maybe this just isn't my modality.
Speaker 2:And so, being a corporate American, very like, you know, masculine driven and quantitative, I was like you know what, if I don't have spiritual gifts, I can teach myself astrology or I can teach myself human design, because they're very scientific, right Right To some degree there was a lot of ignorance there, because there is so much beauty and intuition that comes with astrology and human design. But my ignorant self didn't know that, and so I was like I'm going to teach myself something that's scientific because at the very least I can read a natal chart or human design chart and kind of help people that way, right, because it was self exploration part one day wanting to help others, and so same thing. You know, I went and I looked at a bunch of different things and then a few years later, koshk Records came knocking again and that's when I decided to like, all right, let's find the right course with, also like a teacher that feels very aligned Right, and so that's what I did and that's where some of this really started for me. And so a few things I would say.
Speaker 2:Just to summarize, that is that I will give you guys the shorter path to what I learned is that everybody has spiritual gifts. The journey is just figuring out what yours are and how they work and then how they grow and expand, and so it is about doing the work. And unfortunately, in today's society where we can use our assistant, google and chat, gpt and next day delivery and Uber, eats, spirit doesn't work like that. So with spiritual gifts, you got to put the work in, but I promise the journey and the destination are totally worth it. So that's kind of what brings us to today.
Speaker 1:Okay, so did you ever have an Akashic reading done on you during this process?
Speaker 2:That's the really interesting thing. I didn't. I'd never had an Akashic reading before I went to the class. It just kind of felt like it was very odd. It was one of those things where I felt like give it another chance. You did really connect with it before you went and read that whole book and tried it. And so I just like did a few. I was listening to some podcasts and I like did a quick search and then was looking up different teachers and this one teacher came up. She was recommended by somebody I had taken astrology classes from and her class was starting in two weeks and so and it's a live class where you had to meet with people. It was a few times a week. It was, you know, pretty like as far as being virtual, it was very like interactive.
Speaker 2:Yeah, interactive and like you had to show up. It wasn't just a once a week kind of video or anything like that, there were practice groups you had to do like a thing at the end and all of this, and so that was really powerful for me. And what I learned big picture when I started to get into my own record was that my gifts that I work with we talk about the Claire's, and I know you've talked about it many times on your podcast that mine were not clairvoyant so I wasn't seeing a lot, but what I was getting was Claire cognizant, so direct downloads into my head with information. I just didn't know because it was in my own voice.
Speaker 1:So let me ask you one second. So you were able to get into your own record. So not only can you do this to help others, but this is something you can do to also help yourself.
Speaker 2:That's exactly it. So one of the things about the records I know I'll back up and give you more basics, but the idea with the Akashic Records is every soul, every person on this planet has the ability to get into their own record. Wow. And so you can access your record at any time because you're a divine sovereign being and that is your record, and whether you believe we incarnate once or we incarnate several times, you have access to those records. Or we incarnate several times, you have access to those records. Some people I think what I've learned from different classes is depending on, like, your intent and your integrity and your gifts then you could potentially access other people's records with their permission, and so that's what I'm able to do. That's kind of one of the gifts that I was able to do. There are other people that can do it, but I don't know if everybody could possibly do it, if they train or not. It's just kind of that's how I've learned it so far. So okay, I got off on a tangent there, sorry.
Speaker 1:Yes, sorry, I'm sorry. I interrupted you by asking a question you were talking about when you got in there, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So the first time I opened up my records and I'll I will, in a minute, go over to what the records are but the first time I opened my record up I didn't feel anything because I thought I was going to see all these things.
Speaker 2:Right, most of the people that are going in there are seeing things in their mind or are picturing things or might see auras or anything. That's like clairvoyance, right, and my gifts, as I started to figure out, were actually clairaudience. I can hear things, but again, it's in my own voice. So I have to distinguish that I'm getting downloads of information and then I'm getting I'm feeling things in my body, chills or whatever it might be, and so at the bottom of the list for me is clairvoyance. So there are other people in my classes like, oh, I met the, I'm in the library and I'm open up, then I can see the card catalog and this guy's here and that guy's here and this one's a dragon and whatever it is, and I got none of that, and so going into the class really helped me learn, like these are my gifts, and then this is how I process that information and that's the same to this day.
Speaker 1:I think that's phenomenal and a great point, because I think you know I teach Reiki and and I talked to them about you know this opens you up sometimes to a lot of different things, whether it's mediumship or intuitive knowing, or, but it definitely accentuates your Claire's right. But to know that it's so different, because you know we had some of those things happen. One of the students saw all kinds of things. Another person was like I just feel all these things in my body. I'm not as good as that person. No, it has nothing to do with that at all. It's just that that's how we were created to be totally different and we pick up things differently. So I'm so glad that you mentioned that.
Speaker 2:That's exactly it. And then what I found now working with people and we talked a little bit about this before we started was that, depending on who I'm working with, different Claire's pop up. So I did a reading, yesterday actually, where I could tell the person was very clairvoyant and so, while again still at the bottom of the list for me I do have clairvoyance it was like turned up a notch for this particular person, because that is one of their gifts, and so that's how it came through to me, which was really, really cool. But I know we've gotten kind of a little bit into it. But let me talk a little bit about what the Akashic Records are.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so big picture, the way we look at the Akashic Records and I'm looking at this from a spiritual side there's a whole bunch of quantum physics that can explain it. So if you are a quantitative person and you're interested, the work of Irvin Laszlo is somebody that can give you. He is a like a noble uh I don't think I think he was, uh I don't know that he won a Nobel, but I think he was nominated for Nobel but he does all this work in quantum physics but he can explain the Akashic records from a scientific point of view, so know that that exists, but I'm going to talk about it from a spiritual point of view, and so the idea is, the Akashic records are an energetic. We think of it like a library or a repository of anything that has ever existed that has energy, right? So if we think about it think about humans, animals, plants, places, things, homes anything that has energy has an Akashic record, and so that also means anything in the past, currently that exists, and then also in the future. So that's a whole lot.
Speaker 2:I am aware that I just basically described everything in the universe. Okay, stick with me here. Okay, the idea is that when our souls incarnate and again, whether you believe that they incarnate once or many times there is a record and there's a contract of kind of what you kind of came here to do. You still have free will, but they're also like your soul is trying to learn something by coming down here on earth, which is what I believe.
Speaker 2:And so you have the ability because we have the great forget it, right. We get, we are incarnated, we were born, and we forget everything about what could possibly be on the other side, right? And so for me, this is being able to go into that record and talk to your soul, higher self, whatever your belief is. And then also, when we're in your record and I'm meeting with you, I will also talk to your guides. So guides could be angels, loved ones that have passed, spirit guides, archangels, ascendant masters, any of those things. And so for me, when we do a reading with me, I'm able to access your record on the front end before I meet with you and get a message Like basically, think about it, like if your soul or your higher self could tell you anything about what they want for your life, what would they tell you? And then the second part is we talk about your questions and I kind of channel answers from your guides and that's very 3D, right. That's like where they're telling you to like sharpen your knives before you cut yourself or whatever. It is right. They get very 3D on you and from a loving, beautiful point of view and a lot of times tell you the things that you already probably know, but it's very odd hearing it from somebody like me that you don't, that has never met you and doesn't know anything about you and is telling you all these things about yourself. So what's beautiful about the Akashic Records is that you know many people can access them in different ways.
Speaker 2:I like to bring my own magic into it, the way that I work with people, and I think that may change. It's changed even from when I've started. But I do also allow, like there is some mediumship, so like what you do. So like if there's someone that is like the biggest need for them right now. There's something healing in the records. My guides will let a past loved one in and I'm either can access their record or, if they show up, I can do some mediumship to help with that healing matter. Sometimes it's medical mediumship, so I'm telling you to like get your minerals checked or to do something like that. So it's a combination of things, right. So sometimes we're talking about big picture, soul level, what you came here to do, past lives, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2:And then I'm getting as nitty gritty as you know you need to check your minerals or whatever it is, and so I know that feels like a lot, but it's interesting because each reading for each person is completely different and sometimes they're saying themes. But I'm getting all this information for someone that I've never met, don't know, from Adam, and I'm telling them all these things about their life and I just have to be a channel and know, and it's not me telling them, it's their guides and their higher self, and it's me as a channel getting out of the way and just bringing the information through.
Speaker 1:I just want to clarify. When you said that you can access the records before meeting with the person, that's already saying you've already received permission from that person, and would you say that is good to always seek permission prior A?
Speaker 2:hundred percent. Yeah, yeah, the only, like, the only weird thing would be like so, like my father, like, okay, so I think it's like your family, you can access your own record and then access, like, your dad's record, because he is connected to you, um, or like people that are connected through you, um, but it would be in relationship to you and your walk, not just his record, right, that makes sense, yes, but for me it is very much about, um, I have to have permission from the person and I have to have their full name, their full government name, so to speak, and from the person and I have to have their full name, their full government name, so to speak, and then that is all I know about them. So I don't know anything else, including the questions they write down, any of that.
Speaker 1:So Right, and I'll definitely vouch for that when we get to talking about my reading. So would you say that reading the Akashic records is different from channeling, or would you say it can be the?
Speaker 2:same Great question. Yeah, I can be the same, cause I feel like I'm channeling information from the records. So in a way I'm reading it right, but I'm also channeling, you know, like by through mediumship, and then channeling, like some using some mediumship and psychic abilities around, like if someone that's passed does show up and I can physically feel them around, things like that. So I kind of have to switch, because there's channeling in general, like there's so many different ways that you can channel information, people, things, that kind of stuff Like. But yeah, I would say that it is part of what I do, but I'm basically like it's kind of like my modality is Akashic records. That's where I go to access the information, but I'm channeling and then doing mediumship to bring it in Does that make sense?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's I. I like that you said it's not necessarily cookie cutter either. You know, you, you see Joe in the morning and you see Susie in the afternoon. That doesn't mean Joe and Susie are going to get the same exact type of reading, even though it's the same Akashic record field. It doesn't mean that you know she's going to hear about her minerals and he's going to hear about his. You know, doesn't mean that you know she's going to hear about her minerals and he's going to hear about his. You know, hello, beautiful souls, will you do me a huge favor If you go to AngelReikiJourneycom, if you can scroll down and go to subscribe to newsletter and put your email in there.
Speaker 1:That way, anytime I have an event, whether it's going to be live in person or on Zoom, you have that information at your fingertips and you'll receive that in the newsletter. I don't spam you. I send out a newsletter once a month. I'll send out something else if something really cool and amazing is happening. Otherwise, also make sure to check your spam folder and convert that over to your inbox if for some reason it is going to spam.
Speaker 1:But so also some really cool things happening I am working on, you know, getting the courage to be on TikTok. Yes, I can't believe it. Also, a YouTube channel, spirit, made me sign up for about well, it was 2012,. However long ago that was, which feels like 100 years ago. Anyway, they are working on me to get the podcast uploaded over there too and some other videos and workshops that we're working on behind the scenes. So excited, return to the episode and have a great day. Yeah, it's very much like that in my sessions too, and I try to tell people I'm like it's really hard to describe sometimes in a detailed fashion a session because I'm like it could be totally different with the next person.
Speaker 1:Your own reading could be totally different the next time we don't get to decide.
Speaker 2:That's exactly it. So like there are some people where, like their gift works that way, they can maybe see, like your spirit guides, and they can tell you A to Z about your spirit guides, what they look like, why they are in your life, what you do. There are some people that can tell you immediately about all your past lives. For me, I have to accept what I get, but what I have learned is that the messages and the information that comes through is what is most needed for that person at this exact time, and so, like if somebody were to have a reading with me a month later, it might be different. Now, generally, my thing is I don't want somebody to have a reading with me more than two or three times a year, because a lot of times such big information comes up that it takes time to work through that and whether they do it or not, I don't want them to be dependent on me either. Right, and so it's very much about that person, the client, and their walk and their soul.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. Yeah, it's well. My session was incredible. So, before we go to that part, are there certain types of questions or intentions that that the records respond to better than others? Is it important to be specific about what you're asking? Is it? And then also, I wanted you to tell us what your process prior to doing entering the records is For sure.
Speaker 2:So love that question. The first thing I would say is that I laughingly lovingly joke that the records is kind of like chat GBT If you put in a generic broad question, you will get a generic answer, and so when people have readings with me, I have a gay reading prep site so that they can go through it and know exactly what's going to happen.
Speaker 2:Just because this is so different, right, it's a little bit out, it's outside of the box, like you work in the same kind of spiritual and it was still new for you, right?
Speaker 2:And how I work and so I do have links about like what kind of questions are best. But in general, as people start working with their own records, which I encourage you to do, I would say a few things I have learned through my work. That spirit doesn't answer yes or no questions, because the answer is you have free will and you are a sovereign being and so they will give you information and they will give you suggestions and you can ask more questions. But usually the what, how and why questions are really really good. But I will also say like, when some people come and they're asking me, you know, maybe particularly about a past life or a karmic connection with somebody in their life or maybe a galactic tie, things like that, sometimes they can feel it and answer it and then sometimes I will say I'm not getting anything and I have to be really answer like I'm not getting anything, I'm not going to make it up.
Speaker 2:And so sometimes to me, what that means is one, that information isn't important enough for that person right then. Two, maybe it's something that it's just not helpful for me to be privy to, you know whatever that might be like as far as their walk, and so there are many times where I'll say happy to answer your questions, but if I don't get anything back, I will be really honest about that too.
Speaker 1:Right, right, no, and I think that that's important. I think that's very ethical as well. I think that sometimes people come to me hoping to hear from a specific person, yes, and that specific person doesn't come through, and but yet their aunt, that they had a really difficult relationship growing up with, does come through. And, uh, I really struggled with that at the beginning of doing that with readings, because I thought, oh my gosh, I'm letting these people down, and and spirit, so sweetly but very clearly, was like this isn't about you, you did your job.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've been going through that recently too.
Speaker 1:Okay, you're right, it's not about me, and we're here to help people the best we can where they're at. Yeah, that doesn't always mean everybody gets what they want. I've also and in a second I'll go back to the second part of your question as far as what I do before reading.
Speaker 2:But I've had where, if I'm channeling and you know, I'm like like deep into the reading, 4045 minutes into the reading, and somebody asked if, like, I can do some mediumship and I can feel that person there, sometimes I've had my spirit guide say thanks, but no thanks, come back another time because of their, their keep. They're protecting me because of the amount that I'm channeling. So if I'm channeling and then doing mediumship on top of that, the mediumship takes a lot out of me. And so they'll say you have access here, but we're not going to let this person through right now. Because, one, if the person, if it was like a healing message that needs to come through immediately, they would have shut up at the beginning and they would have let them in. And then, two, it's they want to be really careful for me to make sure that I don't burn out, essentially Like that's a bad term, but that's basically what it is.
Speaker 2:So so let's talk about what I do before a reading. So before a reading, I I have, like I said, I have to get some information from the person. So that is their full name, that is, you know, their permission to go into their record, and what I do is I ask them to write down, physically, write down three questions the night before, right?
Speaker 2:So up to midnight the night before. So for me, when I start the day, if I know I've got readings, I will go in and I will meditate, and so that is a meditation where I'm going down into the earth and I'm connecting with the earth, I'm grounding in and then I'm coming back up through my chakras, bringing energy up and then going out through my chakras to the cosmos right and bringing in information and I'm kind of bringing that energy back through my body. And so what that does is it basically links me between the earth and the cosmos right. So it's keeping me grounded right in between.
Speaker 2:From there I will cut any energetic cords, burn those off, send them back to the universe, right, and then I will. I've got like a protective kind of wall that I'll put up over me and I'll seal that, and so that is really a lot of the energetic hygiene that I do. But then before I meet with a person I will go in and I will open their records by myself and I will channel information so I will immediately start writing like automatic writing. So I will immediately start writing like automatic writing. So I'm not really paying attention, I'm just letting it come through a sentence at a time.
Speaker 2:Sometimes I'm drawing pictures I think for you there was a picture to you know whatever, a sketch, if you will and I spend 30 to 45 minutes it's usually about 45, writing out everything that's coming through, and then at some point I kind of have to shut the door, and so you know they'll kind of I'll tell them hey, you know, I've got to kind of shut this up, and so they'll give kind of a final message and, um, I will close the records. Then later that day I will meet with the person and so when we sit down we'll open your record again, and that's where the reading begins.
Speaker 1:That is, uh, incredible. I think that's where the reading begins. That is incredible. I think that's a great segue to my reading. So I had a beautiful reading with Stephanie and a beautiful reading that I'm still trying to swallow.
Speaker 1:So I'm a bit of a stubborn human being and spirit has so graciously. Luckily, spirit and the angel realm are just so kind and so patient because they have gracefully started, you know, to give me different messages that come through at different times and be guided in different places, and although I have gotten really well at listening to a lot of them, there are still some that I seem to try to put on a shelf till later, and a lot of times that is what turns out to be kind of common in the healing world, right, like when it comes to stuff regarding ourselves. I think it's easier to push that off. If they came in and said I need you to fly to Taiwan tomorrow because you have to help this whole group of people, I'd have been like, ok, I'm going to get my passport today, I'll get it fast forwarded, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 1:But when they say, okay, we need you to really pause for a minute and show yourself self-love, I'm like, oh, how dare you? So? A lot of what came through in our session was things that I may have been told once or twice or 355 times, but they worded it in a very sweet, graceful, stern manner and just kind of you know, here's what it is Like. You know you're hitting certain roadblocks in certain areas because you're not willing to do this part and um, so sometimes what we hear isn't always what we want to hear, like we said right that's exactly it.
Speaker 2:it's like one. Sometimes now, I think, calling it a reading, it feels like more than a reading because, like you're experiencing the energy of your own Akashic record, there's healing coming up. You're hearing things about mediumship or medical mediumship, but then you're also talking to yourself Like it's a lot right it is, it is.
Speaker 2:And it's you know. They have this way of speaking, especially when we talk to the higher self and the soul, because I've written it down, so it's not just me interpreting I mean I'm still technically channeling it but they're using words and language that is like key to you, Right? And so, like I have, you know, pages and pages and pages of all these readings that I've done and everyone's got different. I mean there are words that I don't even use, that I have a pretty good vocabulary. I'm a reader. You know what I mean, right, right. I mean I think I used the word circumnavigate the other day or something you know and it's like. But I believe the way that the message comes across, even in the way of speaking, down to the cadence of my voice and the words that they're using, is to speak to you and your soul directly.
Speaker 1:Oh, it is. I mean I do have to say so. That was the first time I ever had like a Akashic reading and it literally felt like someone crawled in my body. It was very like. I kept like moving my shoulders and my head and my neck and I was like what is going on? It was like somebody was underneath of my skin, between my bones.
Speaker 2:Okay, now you're making it a little weird, you're making it sound a little weird.
Speaker 1:But I will say that not everybody feels that way. It was just like a I'm, you know, being an energy healer for so long. I mean all I'm all about feeling energy. So I think what it did for me and my Virgo mind was it's real. There's no way I would have felt that way if it, if it wasn't real, if there wasn't a real connection to energy taking place. So, um, it was incredible, and the words you did speak did speak directly to my soul, which is also what made it so uncomfortable, because I was working really hard not listening.
Speaker 2:Right, right, you can put up a pretty good barrier. But then you have some random chick from New Jersey that's telling you all about you and your soul and you're like that's right, I guess I'm going to listen this time. Yes.
Speaker 1:Yes, and but also very much so needed to be said. Uh, because I think that as healers, as anybody that that works in a realm to try to help people, we also want to be a good example of that, right? So if we can't also continue to invest in ourselves, continue to learn our lessons, you know, we don't get to a spot where we're like, oh okay, I crossed off lesson number 92. I'm good now, right, I'm going to chill for the rest of my life. So, yeah, and there were tangible things that you gave me to to address stress, which is also something my Virgo self needed desperately. So I wanted to ask, in your experience, if you saw like common themes in, so, let's say, like the boomer generation or common themes, and you know the the depression era generation. You know what I mean. Like, do you ever notice? You're like, hmm, you, you know what? I had a reading the other day that feels similar to this, because I feel like we carry a collective energy too during certain generations, does that?
Speaker 2:yeah, yeah, I mean, from what I know about astrology, when we think about the outer planets like the uranus, when we think about pl, we think about some of those big outer planets. I think that's where you see a lot of really interesting collective energy, right, and so that does show up with people, depending on kind of when they were born and like what they were coming around with. Specifically, though, where I see themes is interestingly, I'll have five or six clients. Though where I see themes is interestingly, I'll have five or six clients, and while every single reading, as we've talked about, is different, I'd be at this six readings for them. The issue of control comes up. Now it plays out differently as to how I speak about it with somebody, but it talks about control and how we have control in our lives and how we need to let that go or how that is reflected. So what does that mean to?
Speaker 1:me A few things. One it's teaching me right, so I'm healing and learning a little bit as I'm going through it, and it's not about me, let me be clear. It's not.
Speaker 2:But as a reader, as someone that is functioning as a channel, it's teaching me because it's showing me all these different things and these different capacities and how it's showing it up all these people, and so I think that's really powerful. But, like, once I am talking to one person about it and they resonate with it and they say, oh, you're so right. This is how it shows up in my life, it helps me. The next time it comes up with somebody Right and, interestingly, spirit, as you saw, will give me examples Like, again, it might be what I call a drawing right, I'm trying to draw something. Or it might be where they give me an example of like it looks like this in metaphor Sometimes they will tell me about a TV show and they're like do you know this episode of this TV show?
Speaker 2:And that person will be like, oh, my God, that's my favorite show, you know? Or whatever it is. And so they give me all these examples. And so I think that these themes that come up are really helpful for me and I think that one day I'll be using these themes in a way to really like help, teach, or to help people understand more about working with spirit and like what does spirit have to teach us right? And so I think that's really powerful, powerful. But I also think it's like certain waves of people who are organically coming to me because they need to hear that message right, it's not about me, but it's because they need to hear that message and spirits like, oh, you explained that. Good, let me get you this person to you because think about it somebody that has control issues. The last thing they want is somebody else telling them what to do right. Or maybe it's self-love, maybe it's about speaking your truth.
Speaker 2:Maybe it's about all these kind of bigger things that we see, and I would also say for some people and this kind of expands it even more, in that whether people have a distinct religion, or they have beliefs, or they want to be more spiritual or whatever that might be, the themes that are not answered for them in a religion that they are satisfied with or in their own beliefs. Sometimes that shows up in readings as well, because it's about them figuring out how they feel about whatever that theme is, or how it's playing out in their life, and so I find that to be really powerful and beautiful as well.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. You know, I was really trying to put into words, like after I had my session, and what kind of, because I could tell that there was a soul level healing taking place, but I I couldn't quite grasp, and um and formulate the words, I guess, is the best way I can say it. So, after reflecting, though, I think what it did do is, I think that it validated, um, my path, and, you know, I think that there's a lot of people right now especially trying to reclaim their truth, trying to release things that no longer serve them, and I think that that is what it did for me. I think that it really brought to my attention and you know, it's always good to hear that you're not completely crazy these messages. Even though you pushed them off 950 times, doesn't mean they weren't real right, like what you were getting and what you were picking up on was real Right.
Speaker 2:And it's being verified by somebody you don't know. That says she's talking to your soul. That's crazy right.
Speaker 1:Yes, absolutely. It's so interesting. Do you feel like if someone was to come to you that felt very lost, do you feel like they could ask you to tap into what sort of theme or what sort of soul path or soul purpose they could go with? Do you feel like they could get direction that way?
Speaker 2:purpose they could go with. Do you feel like they could get direction that way? For sure? You know, the thing I see is that spirit, like brings you the big picture information, but in a lot of the readings they're giving you the steps to get there. So where some people get frustrated is they want me to tell them the answers that they're looking for, right. They want to know what their spiritual gifts are. They want to know what they're going to be in three years. They want to know what they should do with their business. But the information that comes through from Spirit is very much it's loving, but it's like here's what you need to consider. Here are some options, here are the things that you need to do for you to unlock those answers, to start your journey right. And so sometimes people get a little frustrated because they're like man, I just thought she was going to just open something up for me and I was going to automatically do it. And again, unfortunately not Google over here, not Uber Eats, right. It's like they want you to do the work, but the beauty part of it a lot of times is the journey, not just the destination of opening up and like learning these things about yourself and doing the work right, right. I think that that can be really powerful and special.
Speaker 2:And I think about the author, elizabeth Gilbert. She talks a lot about how a lot of the work she does when she writes and she works with people specifically around Eat Pray Love is. She's like. I feel like I'm writing, I'm giving people permission, slips right, to do what they really want to do to make their life happier, to make them feel more joy, more happiness, more curiosity, more childlike wonder, and I feel like that is a lot of the messaging that comes through is like my life's okay or my life's in a transitional mode or whatever. But how can I be happier? How can I feel like that child that was so happy? Or how can I unlock that thing that I've been wanting to do for so long or find that thing? Maybe I don't feel like I have purpose. What is my purpose, you know, and things like that. And so I think those things come through if that is what is on your heart the most and that's what spirit will speak to.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. I think that is so valid and so true. It's amazing, and I think, being able to teach people to also give them permission to trust their inner guidance, that when they do start to hear the whispers, that I mean I trust me. And sometimes our inner guidance gets loud, but a lot of times our higher self, our guides, are very like yeah, you know, and you go on a wild goose chase trying to connect the dots you know it doesn't always work. Like they come out in a foghorn and they're like turn left here and go to the third floor and eat the apples. You know that would be great, but what would we learn along our journey if that's how it was right?
Speaker 2:Totally, and one of the things that has been coming up thematically the most and this is for every age recently is getting out of our head and our ego and getting into our body and connecting that heart-brain correlation, right, coherence. So a lot of people, they know how to get into their body I'd say 50% of people where they like exercise and they feel so good or they dance or they do something in their, in their body and they like it because they're actually getting out of their head, right, they don't even know that to some degree, but they feel good. And then 50% of people probably don't even know that, right. But then the other part of that is how do you get your head and your heart to match up? So, when you're making decisions and you're feeling through things, instead of trying to solve everything in your brain, how are you using the incredible wisdom in your body to get those answers? Because our brain is great and it has a whole bunch of fear in it though. So the idea is, like you know, we have that ego there to tell us, like, don't get into that tiger, that tiger is gonna, that tiger is gonna rip your face off and kill you. So like we need that. I love the ego Thank you for keeping me safe but I also really need to get in touch with my body, and so where we find people and probably a lot of people that come to you we find anxiety and stress and some different things that go along. There is because our head tells us one thing and our body is trying to tell us something else.
Speaker 2:So one of the things that I'm really educating people a lot on is the wisdom of the body.
Speaker 2:And so what does that look like? Well, one, your gut, your gut brain, is almost as smart as your brain brain, right? And so your gut has these reactors in these nerves that have this innate wisdom in it. You've got your heart, which is where your soul lies, your heart chakra. There's so much wisdom there as well as the toroidal field that comes out of your heart, right, that energetic field. And then you've got, you know, that connection of your somatic and your vagus nerve between your heart, your brain, your head, all of those things. And so, if you think about it, there's so much actual more wisdom in your body than there is in your brain, right, I just named two or three things that are like infinitely. And so when you can connect all of them and start to get them speaking to each other and like working through your body, that's where we start to see people lose that stress and that anxiety, because they're really listening to their body, because their body actually sometimes is smarter than their brain and their fear and their fear.
Speaker 1:Yeah, absolutely Taking on so much fear coming in this world. So I feel like it sounds like that's probably something that you do that helps you to stay anchored in alignment day to day, would you say there's. Are there any other practices you recommend on a day to day basis to keep yourself going back to your heart?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so for me still work to do, just like we talked about right.
Speaker 1:Still work for me to do yes 100%, I would say.
Speaker 2:When I start to let my head spin out, I ask myself a few things. One is this true? Like is this really true, or am I just prophesying? Am I in the future? Am I in the past? But like, bring myself back to the present, right, Because when we stress out, sometimes we're like I can't remember exactly what it is. I think it's if you stress out, you're in the past and if you worry, you're in the future, Right right, you're not present.
Speaker 2:Right, because in the present you're okay right now. So I bring myself back to the present and there's this wonderful medical medium named Julie Ryan, and she has something called the two minute rule, and so I would share that with all of your listeners. In that the question becomes, as you start to get stressed out or triggered by something, or angry or whatever, you ask yourself is this going to kill me in the next two minutes? Because if the answer is no, you're going to be okay, and you can kind of sit back with it and like you don't have to answer it. You don't have to whatever.
Speaker 1:And if it is?
Speaker 2:going to kill you in the next two minutes. Absolutely run away from that tiger, you know, whatever it is. But even just by bringing it back, then you kind of have to think into your body and into your heart and kind of change that mindset. And so as soon as somebody sends you that text where you're like, god bless, I can't believe they just said that. Or that annoying coworker that you know has, you know, know, drank your coffee for the fifth time, or whatever it is, just ask yourself is this going to kill me in the next two minutes? It's not okay, let me take a breath, let me get into my body, and then here we go absolutely, that is such great advice, for sure.
Speaker 1:I I find myself having to check in several times a day to be honest of saying like, okay, where am I at right now? Am I in my head, am I in my heart? Where am I at right now? Am I in my head, am I in my heart, where am I at and how's that going to serve me?
Speaker 2:Yeah, the other thing I would add that's been coming through a lot for people, so again would share with your community, is the importance of boundaries with your work.
Speaker 2:Because we have computers and tablets and laptops and everything that are all hooked up and all have reminders and notifications and whatever.
Speaker 2:A lot of people are working from home and so home time, work time, is bleeding into dinner or into after dinner to right before bed checking notifications and emails and all this stuff.
Speaker 2:And so there's a big importance that I'm getting from a lot of readings where people have to like actually really shut down for work and so like, like even to the point where they've had me tell people go get you like a business sign that says open and closed and when you are at home, if you are working from home, shut your computer and have the open and close sign on your, on your workspace or in your office so that you physically know I'm done, I'm not checking any emails, I'm not doing any of this, I'm not doing any of that because a lot of us it's just it's all bleeding together and so you're not getting your nervous system is not getting any relief, and so I know you work with the somatic nervous system, and all of that with Reiki and everything else, and so one of the biggest messages that has also been coming out is that that true shutdown.
Speaker 2:For some people, that might look like if you're going out to work every day and coming home releasing the energy from the day before you walk into your door, right, so just kind of shaking off the all that energy, or doing a quick grounding practice so that you don't bring it through the door or look at your door as a transport of white light and when you walk through it you let go of everything from that day.
Speaker 2:Now, as a spiritual practitioner, one of the things that's the most important for me is I do a lot of salt baths, epson salt baths, because one absolutely I just love water. It's so cleansing For me, energetic wise. Obviously we use it to cleanse our body physically, but cleansing spiritually. And then the salt water just as far as like if I've had a bunch of readings or I've been doing a lot of channeling, and then also I think we talked about this before but I drink a lot of electrolytes because we just burn them and we're changing our vibration to help heal people, to work with people, to channel, to do mediumship, and so I drink electrolytes like I'm an NFL quarterback.
Speaker 1:And sometimes it still doesn't feel like enough.
Speaker 2:Sometimes it still doesn't feel like enough.
Speaker 1:Wow, yeah, it's so important to do those energetic exercises in order to keep us functioning just in day-day life. I worked from home for seven years and it very quickly progressed to working like 70 hours a week sometimes and just because, oh, I'll check one more email, oh, three more come in, oh, let me go ahead and do you know. So I'm so glad that you're saying that I needed you to tell me that a couple of years ago. But, uh, right, I mean I needed to tell me that myself, that a couple of years ago but, uh, right, I mean, I needed to tell me that myself that a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2:right For sure, like, um, because it's so important it is, it's it's. You know, people are like I don't understand why I don't have, you know, joy or happiness or creativity or whatever, but they're not leaving space for that. Because every time you check that notification or that Instagram or that Facebook or all these messages, it's like you're opening up computer tabs in your head, consciously or unconsciously. And so, like, where in that space are you going to be more creative? Or where are you going to be able to get full REM sleep or shut down your nervous system? Right, like, we don't want to. Like you're going to have a shot nervous system and not even know it, because you can't feel anything anymore Good, bad, ugly, everything. You know all of it, or you just absolutely don't feel good and that's what we know. These things start to you know, when you're spiritual and you're mental, and your emotional body and energetic body. That bleeds into your physical body, and that's where we start to see people get sick, 100%, absolutely.
Speaker 1:We see that in Reiki all of the time coming in and there's discolored things, there's inflammation, there's all kinds of things, that things we've never given ourselves the opportunity to emote on this podcast. How can people begin to explore their own relationship with Akashic Records, like where is some place they could look to find out more? Is there? What would you suggest their first step be? To learn more.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the good news is you know, the good side of Google and chat, gpt and some other places is you can Google them and learn so much right? So whether you lean into the scientific and you want to hear more of Irving Laszlo's work or other people, or if you lean to the spiritual, which will probably be more of your community, you can absolutely find more, I would say, on my website. When this does come out, you can download a free PDF where I've taken three podcast episodes, three books, three articles and three videos from YouTube where essentially you just click the link and it goes. I don't make any money off of it. It's just different information about the Akashic Records that they can access and kind of just figure out their journey. So if they're like, hey, I'd rather listen to some different podcasts like this one, or I'd like to read an article, but I don't really want to read a full book, whatever that looks like, they can choose their own adventure. It's just like a one-page PDF with links.
Speaker 2:The other thing that I've got on my website that I would absolutely tout is I have a quiz about meditation. It's about finding the best kind of meditation for you. So you answer six quick questions and then it takes all the different kinds of meditation that I have in there I think seven or eight different kinds and tells you the two best kinds of meditation based on your answers for you, and then it offers you, for each kind, three different free meditations on Insight Timer, which is a free app it is not my meditations, my voice has not, was not made for meditation, but other people's, and so, again, I make no money off this. There are no links, there are no commissions, nothing like that. It's just really to get people finding meditations that work the best for them.
Speaker 1:That's incredible. I'm so excited. So if they would like to get in touch with you, our book a reading how would they go about that? What is the name of your website? How can they reach out to you? Do you do in-person zoom on the phone? How? What are the options?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so the name of my company is El Saini Akasha and I wouldn't even dare to ask anyone to spell that or phonetically figure that out online. So the easy way to find me is stephanienicolepottercom and that will switch you over. You can also find me at stephanienicolepotter at Instagram and that again you'll be able to find my link tree and everything else. And of course, you know I will give you like the links directly. But you can work with me one-on-one. I'm doing one-on-one readings and the reading. I only offer one reading right now. It's exactly what we talked about. It's called the El Saini reading. But then if you are local to Atlanta, georgia, I'm happy to meet in person or to do readings virtually. Also in Atlanta. I work with people and we'll do like private gatherings, corporate retreats, speak on other podcasts, things like that, and so that I can either do virtually or in person as well.
Speaker 1:That's awesome. Thank you so much, stephanie. I am so excited. I will definitely make sure I get all of those links and put them in the show notes for the podcast episode and definitely reach out to Stephanie. You will not be sorry. She is incredible. She holds a very sacred space. She's very patient, she's very kind and relays everything in a loving manner. She's not going to start hollering at you or anything like that. When you set up the reading, it will be absolutely beautiful and your soul will be very grateful. So thank you, stephanie. So much for today.
