What is the difference between a Kundalini Awakening and a Spiritual Awakening? In this episode, Suzie Ridley explores the stages of Kundalini awakening, drawing on her own experience of a spontaneous awakening alongside the research she undertook afterwards to understand and integrate what had happened. This episode follows on from her earlier exploration of the difference between spiritual awakening and Kundalini awakening, taking a deeper look at how the process may unfold. Suzie begins with the traditional preparation for Kundalini awakening, including balancing the ida and pingala energy channels, working with the chakras and awakening the central sushumna channel. She then walks through seven commonly described stages of the Kundalini process, from preparation and activation through purification, integration, self-realisation and union with the divine, while emphasising that individual experiences may be cyclical, overlap or unfold differently. In this episode, you’ll learn Why Kundalini awakening does not necessarily follow the same linear pathway for everyoneHow the ida, pingala and sushumna energy channels relate to the preparation for Kundalini awakeningWhy chakra balancing and purification traditionally form part of the preparation processSeven commonly experienced stages, from initial activation through self-realisation and union with the divineWhy integration, embodiment and the eventual “descent” of transformed consciousness are just as important as the upward awakening itselfHow shadow work, healing and everyday life can become part of the Kundalini process Follow Wisdom from the Akasha on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or subscribe on YouTube, so you never miss an episode.

She explains why developing a healthy sense of self is an important part of spiritual development, and why the goal is not to eliminate the ego, but to allow it to become the servant rather than the master. Suzie explores how consciousness begins to shift at the solar plexus level from instinctive reaction towards self-observation, choice and greater personal responsibility. She looks at the qualities of a balanced, underactive and overactive solar plexus chakra, what can destabilise it, and practices that may help restore balance. She also explains why individuation is an important developmental stage before moving towards the higher levels of collective consciousness. In this episode, you’ll learn How the solar plexus chakra relates to the ego, individuation, will and personal powerWhy an ego death experience does not necessarily mean the ego has disappeared completelyHow self-observation can help you recognise conditioning and consciously choose how you respondSigns of an underactive or overactive solar plexus, from people-pleasing and low self-esteem to excessive competitiveness and controlHow shame, authoritarian environments and fear of punishment can destabilise the solar plexusWhy building a strong sense of self can be an essential part of the spiritual journey Follow Wisdom from the Akasha on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or subscribe on YouTube, so you never miss an episode.

If anger, wildness, destruction or unfamiliar feminine archetypes are surfacing in your inner work or dreams, this episode offers a grounded framework for understanding what they may represent. Suzie explores the Dark Goddess as creator, liberator and destroyer, an archetypal energy that supports authenticity by bringing hidden or rejected parts of ourselves into consciousness. Drawing on the heroine’s journey and figures including Kali, Persephone, Inanna, Baba Yaga, Sekhmet, Lilith, Medusa and Hecate, she examines how this energy can help us release what is no longer aligned while also recognising its shadow expression when anger and rage become stuck in vengeance or retribution. In this episode, you’ll learn How the heroine’s journey and the descent differ from the traditional hero’s journeyWhy the Dark Goddess archetype has often been feared or demonised through patriarchal conditioningHow the Dark Goddess can appear as creator, liberator and destroyer during spiritual developmentWhy shadow work is about integrating hidden aspects of yourself rather than getting rid of themHow anger and rage can become transformative energies, and how to recognise when you are becoming stuck in their shadow expressionWhy mythology and dream work can help you understand the archetypal energies arising within you Follow Wisdom from the Akasha on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or subscribe on YouTube, so you never miss an episode.

Episode 37: What is Shadow Work? In this episode of the Inner Tech Series, Akashic Records teacher Suzie Ridley explores the sacral chakra, or Svadhisthana, and its connection to emotions, desires, intuition, creativity and pleasure. As the first feminine energy-dominant chakra, the sacral invites us to move beyond structure and safety into greater fluidity, feeling and connection with the body. Suzie explores what a balanced, underactive or excessive sacral chakra can look like, including how trauma, emotional repression, religious programming and unhealthy relationship dynamics may create energetic stagnation. In this episode, you’ll learn What the sacral chakra represents and why it is associated with emotions, desire, pleasure and creativityHow repressed emotions and shadow work connect with the sacral chakraSigns of an underactive or excessive sacral chakra, including rigid routines, emotional highs and lows, and boundary difficultiesWhy empaths may need to move from absorbing other people’s emotions towards compassion without energetic absorptionHow somatic practices can help work with energetic stagnation in the sacral Follow Wisdom from the Akasha on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or subscribe on YouTube, so you never miss an episode.

Alison shares how her own spiritual journey led her to create Evolutionary Manifesting readings designed to help people understand the deeper patterns that may be affecting what they are trying to create. Suzie and Alison explore manifestation from a soul-level perspective, including karmic complexes, past-life wounding, energetic capacity and the repeating patterns that can sit beneath conscious intentions. They also discuss the Law of Assumption, healing at the root rather than continually addressing symptoms, the importance of self-responsibility, and why suppressing emotions or constantly searching for signs can make manifestation more complicated rather than easier. Alison specialises in helping people get to the root cause of what is holding them back through Evolutionary Manifesting readings and Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery®. Through her own lived experience with resolving painful repeating patterns, she guides others to help reconnect them back to their own inner power and resources. In this episode, you’ll learn How Alison combines Akashic Records work, manifestation and somatic practicesWhat karmic complexes are and how unresolved patterns may affect manifestationWhy energetic capacity matters when deciding when and how to do deeper healing workHow the Law of Assumption differs from common “high vibe” manifestation adviceWhy healing does not remove the need for conscious choices, action and self-responsibility Follow Wisdom from the Akasha on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or subscribe on YouTube, so you never miss an episode.

Rather than offering a definitive definition, Suzie shares the working framework she currently uses through her own experience to help make these concepts easier to understand and work with in your spiritual practice. Suzie describes the soul as the individualised aspect of source consciousness that continues across lifetimes, with the Akashic Records holding the energetic memory of its journey. She contrasts this with spirit as the flowing life-force energy experienced through intuition, creativity, the body and internal technology, before exploring practices that can help you deepen your connection to whichever aspect feels less accessible right now. In this episode, you’ll learn How Suzie currently defines the soul and spirit through her own spiritual experienceWhy the soul is described as the continuous aspect of you that journeys through different lifetimesHow spirit can be understood as life-force energy, including prana, chi or ShaktiHow meditation, breathwork, creativity and embodiment may connect you differently to soul and spiritHow to choose spiritual practices based on where you currently feel disconnected Follow Wisdom from the Akasha on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or subscribe on YouTube, so you never miss an episode.

Suzie explores what a balanced and imbalanced root chakra can look like physically, emotionally and energetically, including the role of fear, trauma, ancestral patterns and energetic stagnation.

Introduction to the Astral Realm In this episode, Akashic Records teacher Suzie Ridley answers a question she receives often: can you access the Akashic Records without consciously realising that is what you are doing? Drawing on her own spiritual journey, Suzie explains why spontaneous connection to the Akashic Field can happen through meditation, creativity, intuition and expanded states of awareness. Suzie shares how she realised she had been connecting to the Akashic Records through meditation long before she knew the practice by name, and why structured methods such as sacred prayer can make that connection easier to access intentionally. She explores intuitive hits, creative inspiration and “aha” moments as possible experiences of connecting to the Akashic Field, while also explaining the importance of discernment between the true Akashic Records and experiences within the astral realm.

Rather than telling you what to believe, she invites you to consider where this growing reliance on external technology may ultimately lead. Beginning with the online discussion surrounding Stephen Bartlett and his comments about being unable to perform optimally after drinking wine, Suzie examines the wider pressure to measure, monitor and optimise every aspect of human life. She introduces transhumanism and Rudolf Steiner’s concept of the Ahrimanic force, exploring whether merging the human body with technology supports the evolution of the soul or pulls humanity further into materialism and disconnection from its spiritual nature. In this episode, you’ll learn Why optimisation culture has become such a prominent part of the wellness industryWhat transhumanism is and how it proposes enhancing the human body through technologyHow Rudolf Steiner described the Ahrimanic force within his anthroposophical teachingsThe difference between developing your internal technology and outsourcing awareness to external devicesFour questions to help you reflect on technology, embodiment and spiritual sovereignty Follow Wisdom from the Akasha on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or subscribe on YouTube, so you never miss an episode.

Are you feeling the calling to become an Akashic Records Practitioner? In this episode, Akashic Records teacher and practitioner Suzie Ridley explores what to consider when mixing an Akashic Records practice with other modalities. Whether you are already a coach, therapist, energy healer, yoga teacher, tarot reader or practitioner in another field, this episode offers a thoughtful look at how the Records can support your work without muddying the waters. Suzie shares three key considerations for blending Akashic Records work with other practices: your intention, the spiritual realm or dimension the other modality accesses, and the sacredness of each tradition. She explains why some modalities may complement the Akashic Records beautifully, while others may not be appropriate to combine in the same session, especially if they are designed to access different planes or realms. This is a grounded reflection for existing practitioners who feel called to weave Akashic Records reading or clearing into their service. In this episode, you’ll learn Why intention matters when adding Akashic Records work to an existing practice or businessHow to consider what realm, dimension or plane another modality is designed to accessWhy some practices, such as tarot or oracle work, may blend naturally with the Akashic Records for some practitionersWhy it may not be appropriate to open the Akashic Records during practices such as plant medicine journeys or certain shamanic workHow to ask your own Records, or your business Records, whether combining modalities is aligned for you and your clients Follow Wisdom from the Akasha on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or subscribe on YouTube, so you never miss an episode.

If you enjoy watching something that expands your perspective (without pretending all TV is “bad”), these recommendations offer themes like consciousness, timelines, sovereignty, and what it means to be human. Suzie walks through five picks and what each one can illuminate on the spiritual path: The Matrix, Soul, Nine Days, The Man in the High Castle, and The Peripheral. Along the way, she highlights recurring themes like illusion vs truth, free will vs determinism, purpose, the sacredness of human experience, and the tension between internal technology (intuition/inner knowing) and external technology. She also invites listeners to share their own recommendations in the comments. In this episode, you’ll learn Why entertainment is not automatically “low vibe”, and how intention determines whether it’s enrichment or avoidanceWhat The Matrix can teach about reality, love, transhumanism, and questioning the structure of the world you live inHow Soul explores purpose, the “in-between” (transition) space, and the beauty of everyday lifeWhy Nine Days is deeply Akashic-coded, and what it reveals about guides, Earth incarnation, empathy, and the human experienceHow The Man in the High Castle and The Peripheral explore timelines, sovereignty, technology, and consciousness in a modern context Follow Wisdom from the Akasha on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or subscribe on YouTube, so you never miss an episode.

Resources & Links ⁠⁠⁠Akashic Records Training⁠⁠ ⁠⁠1:1 Programmes⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Appointments⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Free ebook⁠ 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 answerThe key difference in detail: regression tends to be immersive and specific, while Akashic detail is determined by what is relevant to your questionsHow to choose the right option for you: deep past-life exploration vs soul-level guidance and perspectiveWhy different Akashic readers read differently, and how intention and focus shape what comes through Follow Wisdom from the Akasha on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or subscribe on YouTube, so you never miss an episode.
