I’m often asked what brought me to working with the Akashic Records, and I would like to share my story with you today.
As a child, I was sensitive, intuitive, and always a little bit different. :) The universe was alive and spoke to me in so many ways. A shy young girl, I spent much time alone or in the company of my animal companions, where I felt accepted and understood.
I'm an empath by nature, and as I grew, I was drawn to deeply connecting with people and listening to the stories of their lives. One of my greatest joys was bringing out what is best in others and helping them find their own beauty. In my path of service, I was first drawn to psychology. I received my Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Ph.D. in the field. I loved the depth and intimacy of working with people in this way. After I completed graduate school, I was offered a counseling position at a local community clinic, and I happily accepted.
I had been seeing clients at the clinic for several years when my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. My parents divorced when I was young, and he had always been more of a good friend than a father. We were very close.
The cancer was advanced when it was detected, and there was nothing to be done. My father died five weeks later. It was shocking and heartbreaking. Losing him so unexpectedly changed me.
Within days of his passing, my father started coming to me. I began hearing messages and having unusual, visionary dreams. He would appear before me, still wearing his hospital gown. Here I was, practicing full-time as a traditional psychologist, and my deceased father was showing up in my living room.
At the same time, all kinds of strange energetic phenomena started happening: one line of a song would repeat over and over on the radio when I got into my car, feathers, coins, and symbols were showing up everywhere. Even though I had been intuitive throughout my lifetime, everything was amplified. While I knew this meant my father was alive and well on the other side, at the same time, it was scary.
I share this because many people have this experience when the spiritual world starts breaking through. It can be unnerving. These experiences compelled me to engage in a deeper exploration of my spirituality, looking for answers, as the veil between the two worlds thinned rapidly for me.
Meanwhile, I continued working as a psychologist at the clinic. Within weeks, the clients who came to me began describing spiritual experiences that did not fit within the bounds of traditional psychology. They were fascinating and profound. One Tuesday afternoon my client Annie came in, and life changed forever.
That day, Annie told me a very moving story that had taken place a few years earlier. She had experienced a lot of trauma and abuse in her early years and lived a very painful, challenging life. One night, overcome by pain, Annie decided to commit suicide. At midnight, she walked quickly to the end of a local pier, paused for a moment, and jumped off. As she slipped into the dark, icy cold water, Annie prepared to let go of life.
Suddenly, a strong light surrounded her, and she heard a voice say, "It's not your time to go." Disoriented, Annie didn't know what was happening, but felt what she described as a warm blanket of love surrounding her. She heard the voice again, louder, "It's not your time." Out of nowhere, a hand firmly grasped her shoulder and pulled her up to the surface and to shore. She crawled out of the water and looked around for her savior, but the beach was empty.
Somehow Annie knew she had been in the presence of an angel. Stunned, she collapsed to the sand and wept. She had always felt unwanted and uncared for, as if she didn't matter. To have an angel come to her at the lowest point in her life and pull her to safety changed everything in an instant. We were both deeply moved in the telling.
A few days later, as part of our weekly case consultation meeting, l told the story to my supervisor at the clinic. I was still profoundly affected by it. My supervisor looked at me and said, "Brynne, you've got to figure out what hat you’re wearing. You've got the psychology hat, and you've got the spiritualty hat. You can’t wear both of them at the same time.”
He went on to explain that Annie had simply made up the angelic rescue story in response to her unconscious wish for an idealized father figure to save her. As I listened, I felt something change deep inside of me. I slowly walked out of his office, and it dawned on me I probably could not continue to do this work. I no longer believed psychology was the ultimate explanation.
Within a few weeks, I left the agency. I lost everything – my practice, my home, my friends. My family thought I was crazy. I even lost my own identity. It was a very confusing and painful time.
Ultimately, it took about two years for me to give up the idea of who I thought I was going to be as a professional psychologist. After I let go, I started doing spiritual counseling and energy healing, which felt much more aligned with what I came here to do. Eventually, I found a mentor who taught me to access the Akashic Records for myself and other people, and everything took off from there.
As much as I was helping people in a very real and heartfelt way as a psychologist, I wasn't in alignment with my soul. These two events - my father's passing and the supervisor’s admonition – were my cosmic wake up call. Everything changed.
Since then, I’ve had the gorgeous good fortune to be in the Akashic Records every day, accessing their light and wisdom and feeling their love and healing energies. I get to help people blossom in ways that are beyond anything I could have ever imagined.
I now open the Akashic Records on a daily basis to access divine wisdom for insight, for writing, and for healing. My life has changed in every possible way as a result. I have the richness of the universe available at all times, offering me clear guidance on how to live an uplifted, inspired life, full of possibility. I experience ever deeper gratitude and appreciation for the people closest to me. I am living in full alignment with my soul’s divine purpose.
Best of all, I know I am held in an ocean of love, always.
And now, I am delighted to guide other people to learn to access the wisdom and healing energies of the Akashic Records, so they may experience all of this, too.
It is my greatest honor and pleasure to be able to share the special magic of the Akashic Records with you. Thank you so much for hearing my story. :)
Much love,
Brynne
