Past Life Regression and Akashic Records Readings are not for the faint-hearted. But for the open-hearted, open-minded seeker, they can be healing and illuminating. And that’s why I decided to check in with Sarah Lawrence Hinson, a certified, personal energy coach. We had a very interesting and stimulating yarn . .
For those new to the Akashic Records, here’s a pithy definition from the cyrstalinks.com website:
The Akashic records (Akasha is a Sanskrit word meaning “sky”, “space” or “aether”) are collectively understood to be a collection of mystical knowledge that is encoded in the aether; i.e. on a non-physical plane of existence. The concept is prevalent in New Age discourse and is considered pseudoscience.
The Akashic Records are understood to have existed since the beginning of The Creation and even before. Just as we have various specialty libraries (e.g., medical, law), there are said to exist various Akashic Records (e.g., human, animal, plant, mineral, etc) encoding Universal lore. Most writings refer to the Akashic Records in the area of human experience but it is understood that all phenomenal experience as well as transcendental knowledge is encoded therein.
My intention in accessing the Akashic Records as they pertain to my lifetimes, was simply to plunge a little deeper into who and what has formed me over what we can only call linear time . . I was, and am, particularly curious about whatever ‘bleed – throughs’ from other lifetimes may be adversely impacting my current life time. You know, the kind of musings you have when walking the dog or cleaning out the gutters!
As so we began
Sarah began with an opening prayer along the lines: “Dear Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones, help me to connect with any aspects of Gerry’s life that have been forgotten until now . . ” Once opened, just about anything can come tumbling out of ‘The Records’ – the startling and the grizzly.
So I really wasn’t ready for the “It would seem that you ended one lifetime – perhaps during the French Revolution period – cramped and terrified in an Oubliette (French dungeon), possibly on charges of religious heresy!
Well I guess nothing much has changed there! I’m still a spiritual rebel and makeshift revolutionary thinker . . But the oubliette? Not pretty.
My post Reading Reflections
Over a period of a week, I sat with some of Sarah’s intuitive visions, and ultimately came to the conclusion that this experience did indeed bleed through into my personal, emotional, psychological, and spiritual development. And I’m still learning.
I meditatively relaxed into a bit of automatic writing. And I share here some of my free flow reflections . .
Naked and cold, shivering in the dark, alone, empty, hungry . . Searching for a squint of light every morning – never knowing if it would come, will I die here? From fever? From despair?
Don’t be afraid to walk out into the light of your truth – the truth of who you are and who you are called to be in this lifetime . .
And then, in another session, one of Liam Lawton’s melodic songs comes to me . .

As pants the heart for running streams . . so longs my soul . . God of my strength, how long should I, like one forgotten mourn, with broken heart, I lie exposed to my oppressor’s scorn . . So why cast down my restless soul? Hope still and you shall sing. The praise of One who is my God. And love’s eternal Spring.
Thanks, Sarah! You’re a generous and gifted channeller. And may your Spiritual Teaching and Energy Work continue to flourish!
