Hello, dear listener and fellow traveler on the spiritual path.

Welcome to Inner Work.

I'm your host, Josephine Hartman, and I am delighted and honored that you are here today.

So for this bonus episode, we're going to continue defining what the Akashic records actually are,

distinctions of what the records are not so we can better understand what they actually are.

So we'll get into that in just a minute. Before we do so, just wanted to ask for a quick

ever. So I know people are listening, but the reviews have been stalled a little bit. Sometimes

that happens. It just happens in phases or cycles sometimes. So it really, really helps if we can get some additional ratings and reviews in.

If you can take a couple of minutes to do that today, I will be eternally grateful. Thank you so

records are not. So the Akashic records are not a vending machine. And this is kind of an analogy I've been thinking about lately.
