Before we start
Welcome to this Akashic Records challenge!
For those who don’t really know me yet, I’m Mariëlle S. Smith, I’m a certified Akashic Records Master Practitioner, and I’ll be acting as your guide this month.
How does this challenge work?
Every day for the next thirty-one days, much like I’d do with a tarot challenge, I’ll be posting a new prompt on Instagram, Substack, and my website. On Instagram, the guided meditation (which will be the same recording every day), which will take you into your Akashic Records so you can do the prompt, will be part of the post. On Substack and my website, the guided meditation is posted separately and can be paused if you need more time to complete the prompt – the guided meditation gives you five minutes every day, which might not always be enough.
You don’t need any prior experience with the Akashic Records to participate in this challenge, although some experience with guided meditations and visualisations might come in handy.
During this month-long journey, we’ll be working with past lives, our ancestors, and potential future timelines. Don’t let that knowledge overwhelm you, though. We’re taking it one day at a time, and you’ll be guided every step of the way. I’m also only a DM, comment, or e-mail away, so if anything shows up that you want to share or have questions about, I’m here for you.
The Akashic Records
The Akashic Records tend to be described as a metaphysical library where all information about our souls and their journeys are archived. Everything we did, are doing, and might potentially do in the future can be found within the Records.
That said, the Akashic Records are more than a ‘mere’ library. It’s also a place where deep and profound healing can take place, as you’ll discover this month.
With the right tools, anyone can tap into their own Akashic Records and access information about their own soul and its specific path in each of its lifetimes. The guided meditation I wrote for this challenge is one of those tools.
What you need to know before you go into your own Records is that different people receive information from the Akashic Records in different ways. You could see things, hear things, feel things, or suddenly know things. It can also be a little bit of everything: you see something, and then you just know something about it, and then you hear a certain phrase and get goosebumps along your left thigh. It’s all possible, so try to remain open and take whatever it is you’ll be seeing, hearing, feeling, or knowing seriously. It might not always add up immediately, but that doesn’t mean you didn’t receive it from the Records or that its significance won’t become clear later on.
When you work with the Records, it’s advisable to not indulge in any alcohol or other substances at least twenty-four hours before entering the Records. As someone who rarely drinks, I often forget to mention this, but it muddies our connection to the Divine and affects our ability to be the clearest channel we can be.
Now you have a basic understanding of the Akashic Records, I invite you to check out the prompt for Day 1 below.

Day 1
Entering your Akashic Records
Welcome to Day 1! Today, we’re starting with simply entering the Akashic Records and noticing what is there.
Here’s your prompt:
Where are you? What kind of place is it? Take your time noticing your surroundings. Don’t forget to turn around and look behind you. What do you notice about this place? Does anything stand out? How would you describe this place to someone else?
If you’re not seeing anything clearly, that’s OK. Can you tell whether it’s light or dark? Do you see any colours? If no, just shift to your other senses. Can you hear anything? Do you sense anything?
If the answer is still ‘No’, know that that’s all right. The Akashic field has a much higher frequency than humans tend to have, so your energy might have to calibrate a little before you can receive messages. You can either try this meditation again later today or just continue with Day 2 tomorrow. There’s no harm in either option.
Day 2
Why do my Records look like this?
Welcome back! Today’s our second day, and it’s the first day you’ll be asking a question to your Record Keepers directly.
Here’s your prompt:
Your Akashic Records are being kept by different types of keepers, but, for the purpose of this challenge, there’s no need to know who you are addressing when asking your questions. Just ask it, and allow the answer to come to you, in whichever way it needs to.
Ask the Record Keepers: Why do my Records look like this to me? Does it have any significance you want me to be aware of?
Day 3
Meeting the Record Keepers
Welcome to Day 3! Today, you’ll be meeting at least one of your Record Keepers, and here’s the prompt to do so:
Ask to meet whomever of your Record Keepers are willing to meet with you today. Once they’ve joined you, ask each of them to introduce themselves and tell you what they’re here to help you with.
When you’re ready, thank them for joining you and sharing this information with you today.
Day 4
Exploring your book
Within the Akashic Records, every soul has their own book that’s been chronicling their entire soul’s journey. Today, you’ll be checking out yours with the following prompt:
Now you’ve met at least one of your Record Keepers, ask them to bring you to your book. Once you have it, take a close look at it. What does your book look like? Is it old or does it look brand-new? Is it a massive volume or rather slim? Is it clean or dirty? What’s the binding like? What is it made of? How many pages does it have? How many of those pages are already filled with writing? How many are left?
When you’re done, hold your book between the palms of your hands and ask the Record Keepers to channel any healing energy you have within you – whether it’s already been activated or still lying dormant – into your book to start the process of clearing out anything that isn’t for the highest good of you and your soul. Give this as long as it needs.
When you’re ready to leave, ask the Record Keepers where to place it. Don’t be surprised if they tell you to leave it out there, because you’ll be using it again.
Day 5
What is my creative purpose this lifetime?
It’s our fifth day, and today we’re going to ask about our creative purpose. Are you ready for this?
Here’s your prompt:
Go back to the place you left your book in yesterday. Now you have your book in front of you, ask the Record Keepers: What is my creative purpose this lifetime?
To receive the answer to this question, you might be guided to open your book and ‘read’ its contents. If that’s the case, write down whatever you find inside of it.
You might also receive the answer directly from the Akashic field without you needing your book. There’s no right or wrong to this. You might never need to ‘read’ your book to communicate with the Record Keepers, or you might be handed the book on some days after asking a question, while you aren’t on others. There are many different ways the Record Keepers can communicate with us, and our book is one of those.
From now on, when you feel the need to get your book before following the prompt, do so. If you never feel the need, that’s fine too. If you really do need to work with your book for one of the prompts, the Record Keepers will hand it you.
When you do work with your book, don’t forget to close it (unless it doesn’t want to be closed) and leave it where it wants to be left.
Day 6
Why did I pick this creative purpose this reincarnation?
Welcome back <3 I truly hope you’re enjoying yourself on this journey, and I’d love to hear from you if you are (or aren’t, of course).
Today, we’re going to ask about the why behind our creative purpose with the following prompt:
If you feel the need to go grab your book, do so. If you don’t, just continue with the question.
Ask the Record Keepers: Why did I pick this creative purpose this reincarnation?
Day 7
What does my creative purpose contribute to on a personal level?
Welcome to Day 7 <3 Today, we’re diving a little deeper into our creative purpose and the why behind picking it for this lifetime.
Here’s your prompt:
Ask the Records Keepers: What does my creative purpose contribute to on a personal level?
Day 8
What does my creative purpose contribute to on a collective level?
It’s Day 8, which means that you’ve made it through the first week of explorations and queries. Today’s question is similar to yesterday’s, but it focuses on the collective instead.
Here’s your prompt:
Ask the Record Keepers: What does my creative purpose contribute to on a collective level?
Day 9
A sacred pause
Today, we’re taking a sacred pause to check in with ourselves and integrate any information and healing that has already started for us.
Here’s your prompt:
What emotions have been coming up for you over the past couple of days, once we’ve started talking about your creative purpose? Take a moment to assess.
If you’ve been experiencing any negative emotions, or emotions that you regard as negative in this moment, ask the Record Keepers how you can best release these emotions.
If you’ve been feeling any emotions that could be described as positive, ask the Record Keepers what you could do to amplify these emotions even further.
Don’t forget to make time to do what the Record Keepers suggested to you.
Day 10
Are there any blocks I need to heal or release to fulfil my creative purpose in this lifetime?
Welcome to Day 10. We’re already a third in, and today we’re looking at any blocks or barriers you might have when it comes to your creative purpose.
Here’s your prompt:
Ask the Record Keepers: Are there any blocks or barriers I need to heal or release to fulfil my creative purpose in this lifetime?
If the answer is ‘Yes’, ask the Record Keepers to show you exactly what’s between you and fulfilling your creative purpose. Keep going until they’ve shown you all the blocks and barriers.
Day 11
What is at the root of this?
Today, on Day 11, we’re diving a little deeper into those blocks and barriers that showed up yesterday.
Here’s your prompt:
Ask the Record Keepers: What is at the very root of this block/these blocks? Where did it all start?
Depending on how many blocks and barriers showed up for you, this might take some time. If it’s too much to receive it all in one go, know that you can always come back later today to complete the prompt.
Day 12
Did I have the same creative purpose in a previous lifetime?
Welcome back! I hope you’re ready to delve into past lifetimes, because that’s what we’ll be doing today.
Here’s your prompt:
Ask the Record Keepers: Did I have the same, or a similar enough, creative purpose in one or more previous lifetimes?
If the answer is ‘Yes’, ask the Record Keepers to show you this or these lifetime(s).
Don’t ask for any more information yet. Just write down the bare minimum you need to know right now about this life or these lifetimes. We’ll dive deeper into this over the next couple of days.
Day 13
Is there anything I have yet to release or heal that stems from this/these lifetime(s)?
Welcome to Day 13! Today, we’ll be focusing on what has yet to be released from the lifetime(s) you were shown yesterday.
Here’s your prompt:
Ask the Record Keepers: Is there anything I have yet to release or heal that stems from this/these lifetime(s)?
If the answer is ‘Yes’, ask the Record Keepers to show you what that is. Keep going, if necessary, until they’ve shown you all of it.
Day 14
How do I release or heal this?
Glad you made it back! Today, we’ll be looking into solving those blocks and barriers our soul’s been carrying since they first originated so we can put a stop to them.
Here’s your prompt:
Ask the Record Keepers: How do I release or heal these blocks and barriers?
Take your time here, and don’t hesitate to ask for clarification or some practical, actionable steps if you’re not given any.
If the timeline isn’t clear when it comes to doing these steps, ask the Record Keepers when you should do which step.
Day 15
What lessons did I learn back then that I need to remember now?
Day 15 is here, which means we’re about halfway there! Now we’ve started the process of releasing and healing those past blocks and barriers, it’s time to see whether our previous incarnations have any wisdom to share with us.
Here’s your prompt:
Ask the Record Keepers: What lessons did I learn back then (in each of these lifetimes) that I need to remember now?
Again, take your time here. If it feels right to you, you could also invite those previous incarnations of yourself into your Records and ask them directly what they’ve already learned. If there’s a table or a nice sitting area or something like that in your Records, you could ask them to join you there. If you try this, don’t forget to thank them for their presence before sending them on their way.
Day 16
A sacred pause
After yesterday, it’s time for another sacred pause and here’s your prompt for that:
Take a couple of deep breaths as you centre yourself. Ask the Record Keepers to help you fully integrate the lessons that came up for you yesterday, and to help you process anything you’ve learned and have started to heal and release ever since this challenge started.
Take as much time as you need here, and don’t forget to write down anything that came through during the integration that might be relevant.
Day 17
Did any of my ancestors have the same creative purpose I have?
It’s Day 17, and today we’re moving from our past selves to our ancestral past.
Here’s your prompt:
Ask the Record Keepers: Did any of my ancestors have the same, or a similar enough, creative purpose I have?
If the answer is ‘Yes’, ask this or these ancestor(s) to join you in the Records. If you haven’t found a nice, comfortable sitting area in your Records yet, go look for one now because we want to invite them and then ask them to stay with us for the next couple of days.
If they don’t want to, that’s OK. You can just invite them back in the next day.
Once they’re seated, give them a chance to introduce themselves. After asking them whether there is anything they need right now, you can leave your Records with the promise you’ll be returning tomorrow.
Day 18
Did any of my ancestors have the same blocks I have?
Today, on Day 18, we’re continuing our ancestral work.
Here’s your prompt:
Before you ask today’s question, check in with your ancestors. Are they still seated in the same spot? Did some leave your Records? If yes, ask them to join you once more so you can ask the Record Keepers:
Did any of my ancestors have the same blocks and barriers to their creative purpose that I’ve been facing this lifetime?
Of course, since your ancestors are with you right now, you can also ask them directly. The choice is yours.
If the answer is ‘Yes’, ask either the Record Keepers of your ancestors which blocks and barriers these are. Make a list if you need to.
Once you’ve gathered all the information that needed to come through today, thank your ancestors for everything you’ve learned thus far and tell them you’ll be back tomorrow.
