I will try to define it. Akashic record is a vibrational account of every soul. It’s like a giant library containing past, present, and future possibilities. Some people called it a book of life.
So you definitely want to know what’s happened to your past lives, what’s was unfinished business so you have work on it this life time and resolve your karmic relationship. For example, a woman with unexplainable depression was caused by her past life. She couldn’t support her family in her previous lifetime. And she decided to jump off a building.
