Linda Howe
After nearly two decades of spiritual searching, I encountered the Akashic Records in 1994, and have been deliberately engaging them for personal growth and consciousness development (for myself and others) ever since! One of the first ideas I explored was accessing the Akasha as an infinite, spiritual resource for empowerment and transformation. At the time, I thought I clearly understood it all. Little did I know, twenty years later, I would continue to mine the riches of the Akashic Records, now recognizing that I’ve only just begun grasping the implications and meanings of “infinite” and, furthermore, may never fully understand it all!
