Information about your reading with Bruce

by Bruce Achterberg on March 23, 2009


Note: this is a page I created for a select few people I chose to offer Akashic record readings to while going through the Soul Realignment intuitive development course. If you’re not one of the people I offered a reading to you’re still welcome to explore this page. If you’d be interested in a reading from me, please contact me.

Welcome!

I really appreciate that you’ve chosen to work with me to help you gain greater self-awareness and clarity about your life. By allowing me to read for you I am getting valuable practice and experience—experience I will be using to kick-start my career as an intuitive (psychic) practitioner; to be doing what I love and making a positive impact on people’s lives.

These are exciting times for both of us, and I look forward to sharing the results of my reading for you!

What you need to do

The only thing you need to do is:

  1. Fill in this form. (The link opens in a new browser window.)
    Note: You must fill in that form. Otherwise, I won’t be able to do your reading.
  2. Wait for me to contact you.

That’s it! The rest it up to me.

Once I’ve finished your reading I’ll email or call you so we can schedule a time for me to share the results of your reading. :)

Note: It may take a few weeks for me to complete your reading, depending on my schedule. I have lots going on at the moment, so please be patient—I will be in contact as soon as I’m ready to share what I find. (And don’t worry, I will contact you. The opportunity to give you a reading—to literally look at your soul—is a priviledge, an honour, and something I take seriously. I look after those I work with.)

Once I’ve shared the results of your reading I’ll send you some (easy) homework that you can do to further reinforce the effects of the energetic healing and clearing work I facilitate. Doing the homework optional, but recommended. I’ll tell you more about the homework (i.e. what it involves, why you should do it in the first place, etc) when I share the results of your reading with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Akashic record reading?

An Akashic record reading is similar to a psychic reading, although instead of passing on messages from your spirit guides, deceased relatives, higher self, or reading your aura (or your etheric, mental, or emotional bodies), I access your “file” in the Akashic record and share with you what I learn from it.

For information about what the Akashic record is, see: What is the Akashic record?

Is there anything I have to do for the reading to work?

Nope!

You just carry on doing whatever it is you do; the only one with work to do (in relation to your reading) is me.

Once I’m done, I’ll contact you and we’ll either meet up in person, or I’ll call you on Skype (or maybe phone you).

I’ll also submit some sort of record of your reading, either by recording our phone or Skype conversation together and sending you a digital copy, or sending you an email report containing the information from your reading. Or I might send both! I’ll see how I go.

What information can I expect from my reading?

In the soul profile section of your reading I will tell you:

  • Your energy centre of training (which energies you’re here to bring into the world as a spirit)
  • Your soul origin
  • Information about your on past incarnations (e.g. which eras you lived in; any spiritual traditions or religions you were involved in during past lives)
  • How much you’re currently using the law of attraction to create the life you want (measured as a percentage)
  • How many spirit guides you have and if any of them are negative (I will energetically clear any negative guides if I find them so you are only left with positive guides who are a helpful, useful influence on your life)
  • Your alignment with the energy streams of love, light, and truth
  • Your degree of connection to your higher self (i.e. your soul) (measured as a percentage) on the conscious and subconscious (mind) levels.
  • Your primary life lessons Edit: Info about your primary life lessons may or may not be included in your reading. I need to check my materials and see if the level 1 Soul Realignment course teaches me how to get this information.
  • How many spheres of protection you have present (spheres of protection protect you from negative influences; think of it as your spiritual armour)
  • Whether you have any damage to your energy body (don’t worry, damage can be healed; “repaired” if you will)
  • Any energetic blocks you have

In the “soul realignment”—the healing and clearing—section of the reading, I will clear, heal, and tell you about any negative influences you have affecting you, including:

  • Entities
  • Earthbounds spirit (i.e. ghost) attachments (I rarely find those)
  • Negative thought forms
  • Compassionate connections
  • Negative past life contracts
  • Unjustified karma
  • Implants
  • Lost soul facets
  • Excessive soul facets (i.e. energetically “holding” onto a part, or parts, of someone else’s soul)
  • portalways in the subconscious to the negative astral realms
  • pacts, bindings, spells, and curses
  • vows (such as a vow of celibacy, poverty, suffering, sacrifice, or chastity you may have made in a past life that, on some level, still—unnecessarily—affecting you now)

(Thanks to Anna Conlan for helping me compile the above list. Thanks, Anna!)

(In case you were wondering, most of the negative influences listed above are just energetic reflections of negative thoughts—either your thoughts, those of others, or both—or experiences which have impacted you in some negative way. Thing of it as a sort of “negative residue” from exposure to otherwise unpleasant experiences or thoughts that don’t feel good to experience. They’re nothing to be afraid of, and you can even choose to not be limited by and live quite well in spite of them, but it’s generally helpful to acknowledge—to release and clear—such things. Sometimes they contain useful lessons or guidance; sometimes they’re just unwanted residue, like a bit of “mud” to be cleaned off your spiritual “clothes.”)

I will also pass on any messages from any (positive) non-physical entities (such as your spirit guides) if any come through, and if I’m able to accurately channel them. My ability to channel information in this way is something I can do, but not reliably and with accuracy.

On the other hand, the information I pass on from my research in the Akashic record should be accurate and reliable.

How can an Akashic record reading improve my life? Does it provide practical, actionable results I can use in everyday life?

I’ll give you an honest, realistic answer: an Akashic record reading won’t solve all of your problems for you, nor will it instantly manifest your desires into your life (although it may help—often in ways you don’t expect).

I encourage you to adopt a more grounded perspective and think of an Akashic record reading as one “tool” in your “toolbox” of things that you can do to improve your life for the better, instead of a magic “make my life better and fix all my problems” pill that will . This gives you a more realistic, more accurate understanding of what—and what not to—expect.

If you don’t feel good right now and are desparate for some solutions—craving some relief and good feelings—a reading may help, but after it’s finished, you’re still the one who has to make changes in your life.

I don’t say this to be hard on you; I say this to help you form a more accurate idea of what to expect from a reading. Accuracy and truth have always helped me make better decisions, and since I have experience with and understanding of the Akashic record readings, I want to help you as much as I can to lovingly empower you with accuracy and truth. And that’s what a reading is for: to help empower you, or rather, help you better see where your power lies, so you can begin to use it to make and manifest the changes you want in your life. Other people, objects, or services (such as a reading) can help you see and better make use of the strength and power you have within you.

What you learn from the reading will raise your self-awareness and give you greater understanding about yourself.

The healing and clearing work I do on any negative blocks or restrictions you have can have different results for different people. Some people report very positive results; others speak of more subtle results, generally attributing them to the reading. Some people don’t seem to get that much benefit from the healing component.

I can’t tell you exactly how an Akashic record reading will improve your life. I can, however, give you an example of how an Akashic record reading I had with fellow Soul Realignment practitioner, Anna Conlan, improved mine:

An example: learning about my energy center of training

One thing you’ll learn about me is that I love to talk. I love to express myself. I’ve been described as very opinionated because I freely and openly share my thoughts and perspective on things.

I’m constantly on at people to always be honest and to express themselves clearly. This makes most people want to jump off a bridge, and many might see this as a character “flaw” that needs correcting, or some sort of attitude problem.

The reality is that I’m trained in the 5th energy center of training—which is related to expression through the throat chakra; through writing and speaking. Honest, clear, effective communication and the real-world physical, as well as spiritual benefits, are part of what I’m here to teach. Because of this soul-level training, I communicate very easily (and some would say fairly effectively), and I intuitively understand the benefits of clear, honest communication, which is why I encourage it in others.

Knowing about my energy center of training helps me see what might otherwise be viewed as a weakness or flaw (i.e. something to get rid of or fixed) as a strength.

To give you a specific idea of how this is useful to me in everyday life, if someone has a negative reaction to me when I’m encouraging clear, honest, effective communication and expression, instead of taking their reaction personally or looking at myself and thinking “man, I’m a jerk; I need to find a way to stop being a jerk,” I realise that we’re not on the same page. They might think I’m being critical, when really, I’m trying to genuinely help them in the only way I know how. Perhaps I could express my strength with more compassion, love, and a greater understanding of whether or not the other person. Either way, when I see and understand myself and my personal attributes with accuracy, life becomes easier because undesirable results become less confusing, and desirable results more easy to experience.

Knowing about this communication strength (A) allows me to understand why people might react to things I say, allowing me to choose a more thoughtful, helpful response instead of simply reacting, (B) allows people to understand me better and put what I say in context, without taking it out of context and interpreting it as something it’s not.

My role is to express this strength constructively in a way that is appropriate (i.e. with people who want clearer, more honest expression).

Simply knowing that I have an energy center of training—that these energy centers of training exist—is helpful. Such knowledge helps me to realise that, because we all have different energy centers of training, different people will understand

Except for some extreme cases, nobody is too [opinionated; bosy; patient; controling; talkative; open and honest] (take your pick). They just have strengths that (A) are misunderstood or not seen in the first place (either by themselves or other people), (B) not being expressed in situations, environments, and with people who will get the most use out of them or genuinely need them, or (C) would benefit from being expressed in a more loving, more truthful, or more powerful way.

* * *

Simply put, being able to finally see what you look like at the soul-level makes it easier to understand various aspects of yourself that you might have taken for granted; it helps you become aware of strengths that you might not have been aware of; it helps you see yourself and your strengths realistically, allowing you to see and better manage the advantages and disadvantages of your strengths; it helps you understand that, despite how other people might have interpreted you or the expression of your strengths, there is nothing “wrong” with you that needs to be fixed—just a strength that can be better understood or recognised, expressed where it is needed and will be found useful, or augmented with qualities (such as compassion, accuracy, or self-discipline) that will make the core strength (e.g. clear communication, or a desire to be protective) better recieved by others as something that is positive and helpful (as opposed to unwanted, frustrating, and hard to understand).

Seeing reality—seeing yourself and others—clearly can be very healing and empowering.

“Healing” is often a case of letting go of what doesn’t serve you; of what doesn’t allow your natural wellbeing to flow. I’m not here to “fix” you; I’m here to create an environment and encourage greater self-awareness and understanding—to meet you where you are and help point out some things you may not have understood or might have been interpreting negatively (when really, they are positive, helpful strengths). The “healing” part is up to you. (Although I’m mostly speaking about healing on an energetic and emotional level. Physical healing is heavily influenced by energy and emotion, but there is a physical component that needs attention, too. The real aim is to holistically focus on healing on an energetic, emotional, and physical level. Sometimes focusing on one level will fascilitate healing in the others; sometimes not.)

Where do you get the information from, and how do you get it?

To use an internet analogy, I’ll be “logging into” your Akashic record.

From there I’ll be asking questions, and a team of spirit guides who “maintain” the Akashic record will be passing on information to my “higher self”—the part of me that exists in the non-physical plane—which will then channel the information to my subconscious, which will then move the pendulum I use to ask yes or no questions while doing research in your Akashic record.

… or at least, that’s how the process has been explained to me.

Honestly, I’m not too caught up on “how” it happens; I care more about the results it brings, and that something like this can happen in the first place. If the results are accurate and helpful, the “how,” while interesting, isn’t something we have to understand (although feel free to explore it yourself and share any interesting findings with me!).

It’s nice to explore how things really work, but our understanding of reality never really matches reality completely (we don’t even really know what reality looks like; only our perception of reality). If the above explanation doesn’t resonate with you or your beliefs, that’s cool. You’re very welcome to interpret what I will pass onto you once I’ve completed my reading for you through your own beliefs about reality. I’m not invested in making you believe anything; I want to see you living strongly, utilising your potential.

Why do you need my name, place of birth, and date of birth, etc?

To access—”log into”—your Akashic record.

I will get all of the information about you and your soul from the Akashic record. I cannot access your Akashic record—and hence, give you a reading—without that information.

________________________________________________________

What do you do with my personal details that I send to you, and information you get from my Akashic record?

Your personal details and any specific personal information I get from your Akashic record in relation to you will be stored locally on my computer in my client files. My client files are password protected and encrypted.

When you submit your personal details to me, I ask for your permission to store any notes or information I get from your Akashic record. If you do not give me permission, the only details I keep on record after your reading are:

  1. your full name
  2. your contact details (i.e. phone number, Skype address, or email address)
  3. correspondence (i.e. emails, letters, etc).

The only other place I store any information about you is in (1) my email inbox, and (2) backups of my client files. Both my email inbox and client file backups are encrypted and password protected.

Suffice to say, I do my best to ensure your information is kept secure and private.

Please read my privacy policy to learn what I do (and don’t do) with your information.

What is the Akashic record?

Simply put, the Akashic record is like a comprehensive, energetic record of the universe that, with the right training, you can access and retrieve information from—information about people, places (such as a house, or a local area), relationships, and even pets.

See this website for more information about the Akashic record.

(That info comes from Anna Conlan, an advanced Soul Realignment practiotioner and intuitive healer who has hundreds of readings for clients and been doing Soul Realgnment and healing work for over a year. Anna is a reliable source of information you can trust, the person who introduced me to Soul Realignment, and a close friend.)

Bruce, what philosophy, beliefs, or world-view do you have—what are your core beliefs?

  • You are your soul. “You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.” — C.S. Lewis
  • Your (Earthly, real-world) skills, talents, and abilities are influenced by your soul. Specifically, your soul’s origin (much like you are influenced by your country of origin), energy center of training, and any other training you did prior to incarnating to Earth.
  • Earth is a school—one of many in the universe—where you come to learn, grow, and further your spiritual development. The mandate of the Earth is to be physically incarnated, yet spiritually connected.
  • You don’t have any weaknesses, just strength that could be better understood or channeled more constructively. Some activities will drain and depleat you, but that’s not because you’re flawed or broken—it’s because you’re not drawing on your most powerful assets—your strengths. There is everything right about you.
  • Everybody benefits, including yourself, when you put your soul-level and physical, Earthly strengths and talents to use. It makes sense to discover these strengths and utilise them as often as possible in everyday life. When you draw on strengths, work is easier, more enjoyable and fulfilling, and you get more out of the energy you invest.
  • You incarnated to Earth for a reason. Specifically, you chose very specific lessons you wanted to learn, and energies you wanted to share—i.e. things you wanted to teach by just being you.

The good news is that I practice what I preach. I’m not perfect, nor is my life ideal, but I’m ok with that and come to you from a place that is real. In the end, I stand on the same ground that you do. Groundedness and authenticity are my aim. People (and other living things) are what matter.

I have a friend who would like a reading from you–can you help?

Currently I am working with and offering free readings to about five people and don’t expect to be offering any more readings until I’m more experienced and have completed the Level 1 course of Soul Realignment.

That said, I’ll handle requests for readings on a case-by-case basis.

Please contact me if you know of anyone who would like a reading, or if you’d like a reading yourself.

Please note that eventually I will be charging for my readings to fairly (and accurately) reflect the value I provide. There’s much value in the free readings since they’re highly accurate from the beginning, but obviously supply and demand (and my body’s survival needs) won’t allow me to continue that forever. :)
