In this episode, Akashic Records teacher Suzie Ridley answers a common question: is an Akashic Records reading the same as a past-life regression? The short answer is no, and Suzie explains why, including how each session works, what kind of information comes through, and which modality may best support you depending on what you need right now.
Suzie breaks down the technical differences between the two experiences: past-life regression involves being guided into a trance or hypnotic state to explore a lifetime in depth, while Akashic Records readings involve the reader accessing your Records (with consent) through prayer or meditation and channelling guidance in a fully conscious state. She also explains why past-life detail in an Akashic reading varies depending on what is relevant to your questions, and why it matters to choose a reader whose focus aligns with what you are seeking.

In this episode, you’ll learn
How a past-life regression session works (trance/hypnosis) versus how an Akashic Records reading works (conscious, channelled guidance)
Why Akashic Records readings are not “about past lives”, but may include past-life information when it supports the answer
The key difference in detail: regression tends to be immersive and specific, while Akashic detail is determined by what is relevant to your questions
How to choose the right option for you: deep past-life exploration vs soul-level guidance and perspective
Why different Akashic readers read differently, and how intention and focus shape what comes through

Akashic Records teacher and practitioner, Suzie Ridley sits down with Rosemary O’Donohue to explore breathwork and somatic practice as a grounded path back into safety, regulation, and inner freedom. If you feel stuck in anxiety, overwhelm, looping thoughts, or constant doing, this episode offers a practical, body-led perspective on how healing actually moves through.
Rosemary shares her long journey through holistic health, energy work, and trauma-informed breathwork, and how her work evolved from symptom relief into true nervous system regulation and embodied change. Together, Susie and Rosemary speak about why so many spiritual practices unintentionally encourage disassociation, and why the body must come with you on the journey, especially when you are working with stress, trauma, and repetitive emotional patterns. Rosemary also shares the foundation of her Freedom Process, including breathwork, resourcing, and simple tools to create space between you and the mind’s stories.

In this episode, you’ll learn
Why anxiety and overwhelm are often body-based sensations first, and how somatic work helps you move beyond the story
How breathwork supports emotional transmutation when it is held in safety, with resourcing and nervous system awareness
What “not picking up the ticket” means, and how to create distance between you and repetitive thought loops
Why embodiment is essential in spiritual practice, and how feeling fully can shift what the mind cannot fix
Simple starting points: breath awareness, noticing sensation in the body, and the “relax your tongue” reset

Mentioned in this episode - Episode 81: Do you want to learn how to read, heal and clear in your own

In this episode, Akashic Records training teacher Suzie Ridley shares the three key ingredients that make a personal Akashic Records practice genuinely supportive and sustainable. If you are building (or rebuilding) your relationship with your Records, this is a practical reset on what matters most, especially when Bob the ego starts getting loud.
Suzie explains why working in your own Records can feel like the hardest work, because the ego will resist anything that strengthens your connection to soul. She breaks down three essential ingredients, consistency, curiosity, and openness, and offers simple ways to set yourself up for a clearer session, including emotional check-ins, brain dumping, and recognising ego resistance for what it is. The reminder throughout is that the Akashic Records are relational, and your practice deepens over time.

In this episode, you’ll learn
Why consistency beats intensity, and how 10 minutes a day builds a stronger practice than occasional long sessions
How curiosity keeps your practice alive by reducing expectations and staying open to different forms of guidance
What “openness” actually looks like, including receiving energetic adjustments, clearing, and activations without fear
Three practical prep steps: take stock of emotions, brain dump your mental to-do list, and settle your receptivity
How Bob the ego shows up (laundry urgency, self-doubt, discouragement), and how to keep practising anyway

Akashic Records teacher and practitioner, Suzie Ridley offers a deeper dive into a concept she references often: the Magnetic Centre. This episode explores where the idea comes from (most clearly through Fourth Way teachings) and why it matters for spiritual development, discernment, and following the nudges that guide you towards the right practices and teachers for you.
Suzie introduces the Magnetic Centre through the Fourth Way lens, including the role of self-observation, the “centres” we operate through, and the difference between everyday influences (A) and the higher influences that arrive through art, philosophy, esotericism, and sincere inner seeking (B). She shares how the Magnetic Centre grows as you become more able to receive these influences, how it draws you towards teachings that support awakening (including the deeper “C influences”), and why she also sees the Magnetic Centre as shaped by past life threads and soul-level resonance.

In this episode, you’ll learn
What the Magnetic Centre is, and why it helps explain why some people feel called to spiritual development while others do not
The difference between influences A and B in Fourth Way teachings, and how “B influences” strengthen the centre of attraction
How the Magnetic Centre supports discernment, helping you feel truth vs falsity (and what is aligned for you right now)
Why certain teachings, teachers, and practices feel magnetising, and how to follow those nudges without forcing or copying someone else’s path
How Suzie views the Magnetic Centre through an Akashic lens, including the influence of past lives and soul-level familiarity with certain systems

Akashic Records teacher and practitioner, Suzie Ridley answers a question that comes up often in Level Two training: can you access the Akashic Records of pets and animals? This episode offers a grounded overview of what is possible, what consent looks like in animal readings, and how to approach this work ethically and practically.
Suzie explains that animals do have Akashic Records because the Records are the record of the soul’s journey, and animals are souls too. She clarifies that she does not specialise in animal readings, but shares what she has observed from practitioners who do, including energetic healing and clearing work. The core focus is consent, and bringing questions that support the animal’s wellbeing, environment, and soul expansion, rather than curiosity for its own sake.

In this episode, you’ll learn
Why pets and animals have Akashic Records, and what it means to see animals as souls on their own journey
The ethics of consent in Akashic work, and why “no consent, no access” applies here too
How consent works with animals, including what happens if an animal does or doesn’t allow access
The kinds of questions that are most useful for animal readings, including soul contracts, behaviour, and wellbeing support
When it may be better to explore your relationship with your pet through your own Records, rather than attempting a direct animal reading
