40 Questions to Ask in an Akashic Records Reading
The most common thing I hear before a session is, "I don't even know what to ask." Here's the good news: the right question is usually already living in you. It's the thing you keep circling back to at 2 a.m.
This guide will help you find it and shape it so the Records can give you something you can actually use.
Let's make this all about you!
Why your questions matter so much
Think of the Akashic Records as a cosmic Google: the better the question, the better the insight.
Three things make the biggest difference:
Ask open questions. Start with what, why, or how. Yes/no keeps us at the surface (and, honestly, it's a little boring). Depth lives in open, specific inquiry.
Give a little context. A sentence or two of background helps the guidance land exactly where you need it.
Keep the focus on you. You cannot change anyone. We don't read others without their consent, so frame questions around your perspective, your growth, and your role.
So rather than asking, "Why is my coworker being an ass?", try, "What is this relationship asking me to learn?"
How to find your focus
Before your session, ask yourself:
What keeps resurfacing in therapy or my journal?
What do I keep asking friends about, even when I already know their take?
What mystery have I always wanted to explore?
Bring those. We're diving deep!
Relationships
If you're ready for a meaningful relationship:
What is the next brave, practical action that signals I'm available for an aligned partnership?
What qualities in a relationship will most serve my next season?
What signals tell me I'm abandoning myself, and how can I quickly return to myself?
If you want to deepen your relationship:
What "baggage" am I projecting onto my partner that actually belongs to me?
What is the most loving action I can take today to deepen our bond?
If you feel like you've lost connection:
What story am I telling about them that keeps me resentful, and what is the truer interpretation?
What single belief, behavior, or boundary, if adjusted now, would create the biggest lift in our connection?
If you're at the end of a relationship:
How do I leave in a way that minimizes harm to everyone involved?
Who am I becoming as this version of me closes this chapter?
Patterns and purpose
If you keep doing things that don't help you:
What patterns, conscious and unconscious, no longer serve me?
What is this habit protecting me from? What do I receive for continuing it?
How can I release this pattern, and what first step do I take this week?
If you feel a deeper calling:
What would I benefit from knowing at this time?
What question have I NOT asked that I should be asking?
How can I respond to the call, and what is it about for me right now?
If you want to deepen your intuition:
What are my hidden talents, superpowers, and intuitive gifts?
Why do I fear my intuitive gifts?
Who are my Guides, and how can I connect and communicate with them?
If you're curious about past lives:
What roles did I play in past lives that are affecting my life now?
What talents or knowledge did I master in a past life that I can access today?
What past-life experience is influencing my fear of [abandonment, scarcity, being seen]?
Career and money
Money questions work best when you share some practical context, like your offer, pricing, or how you deliver your work. Then guidance can point to both inner and practical shifts.
What parts of my work are already aligned, and what needs to be renegotiated or phased out?
What opportunities am I NOT seeing in my current situation?
How do I navigate my fear about speaking up? About failing? About leaving?
No matter how much I make, I still seem to just "get by." Why, and how do I release this pattern?
Why do I reach a certain level of success and then sabotage myself?
Why do I need this person's approval so badly?
Healing and emotional well-being
What trauma, pain, fear, or anger keeps me from feeling whole and balanced?
What can I understand or release about this event so I can move on?
What stands between me and my feelings?
What is the source of my critical voice's power, and how do I change it?
I feel a heaviness I can't explain. What am I carrying, and where did it start?
Where am I losing my energy to others?
What new space is being created in my life by this ending?
What does my highest timeline look like six months from now if I choose myself?
Life transitions
What in me is asking for change right now?
What holds me where I am?
What is my current space trying to teach me before I transition?
Which area of my life offers the highest return on my energy right now?
What is my next right step this month?
Frequently asked questions
How many questions should I bring?
Bring all of the questions that really matter to you. We often go deep in unexpected ways. This may mean direct answers to those questions or it could mean that once you ask, your Guides may direct us in a healing or mediation or channeling. And that's where the gold is. Being open to everything.
Can I ask about someone else?
You can ask about your relationship with someone and your role in it. We don't read another person's Records without their consent.
What if I don't have a specific question?
That's okay. "What would I benefit from knowing right now?" is one of the most powerful questions you can ask.
Can I ask yes-or-no questions?
You can, but open questions get much richer answers. Try turning "Should I take this job?" into "What do I need to understand about this opportunity?"
Ready to bring your questions?
Pick the two or three questions above that made your chest tighten a little. Those are usually the ones.
