30 Second Pep Talk for Self-Confidence - Akashic Record Reading

Akasha is the Sanskrit word for “ether” - one of the five elements. The Akashic Records are an energetic database where all past, present, and future possibilities are held. An Akashic Record Reading is a soul reading - it’s a prayerful process of tapping into the Akash to access your soul’s unique vibration, history and purpose.

Here is a short prayer from the Akashic Records you can read for a quick confidence boost. Imagine a coach, teacher, or someone you look up to saying this to you. Read it 3 times in a row in your head or out loud. Notice how it makes you feel.

You got this!

Allow everything and anything to come in to support it.

Don’t block your own light, your own growth, your own future

Understanding✨

You’re doing the best you can.

you are not alone.

there’s so much more to life than what you see

than what exists.

be here now for yourself.

for others.

all you have is this moment.

the most important relationship you have

is the one with yourself.

the way you give to yourself

is the way you give to others.

the way you talk to yourself

is the way you talk the others.

the world is a reflection of you.

you are a reflection of the world.

once you accept that,

everything starts to make sense.

you improve because you want the world to improve.

the world improves,

because you improved.

all you have is this moment.

-improvement
