Inner Work 251: Shattering the illusion of self-lack

As a healing tool, one of the (many) things the Akashic Records can help you do is expand your capacity to receive goodness.   I mean "goodness" in all its forms, including: support from others, aligned relationships and friendships, aligned opportunities, expansion, joy, physical well-being, energetic well-being, material abundance... and more.   The Records can help you feel WORTHY of goodness.   They can help you release old, false, outdated, limiting ideas of yourself as unworthy or undeserving of goodness in your life.   In this new meditation, I guide you through a process to connect to the Akashic Records together, be held in that transformational and loving field, and - from there - expand your capacity to receive abundance from the Universe.   We'll also dismantle false and burdensome beliefs such as: "I must be productive at all times to deserve goodness" "I must prove my value to be considered worthy" "my worth is tied to my productivity and accomplishments" "if I receive more abundance in my life, it takes away from others" "I'm responsible for others' connection to their own goodness" and many others.

Have you "bought" into the idea of self-lack? We've all been conditioned, taught, or shown by others (consciously or unconsciously) to believe that we're lacking in some way. This can affect how we see ourselves, our self-perception, and what we believe we're capable of doing, having, and being now. Self-lack refers to the belief or idea that we're somehow not (good) enough, deficient, flawed, or missing something important within ourselves. BUT, at the end of the day... self-lack is just that: an idea. Nothing more.  In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll talk about how to begin dismantling and letting go of this false idea - or illusion - of self-lack, so you can show up as your Whole, Authentic, Full Self in this lifetime.

As you walk the path of awakening, you'll likely face challenges, distractions, and obstacles along the way.  Sometimes, those distractions or challenges will try to pull you AWAY from your path and drain your power and energy. In this impromptu episode of INNER WORK, I talk about the importance of re-alignment on the spiritual path - and how you can make the choice, right now, to reconnect to your inner power, light, and Divine energy.

In this ongoing podcast series, I interview Akashic Records Practitioners to explore how working with the Akashic Records has transformed their lives. We discuss topics such as: what it means to "hear the call of the Records" (and answer that call) the vast healing, personal evolution, and growth that happens when we activate the energy of the Akashic Records in our lives how the Akashic Records can help us fully awaken our intuitive, multidimensional, and healing gifts - both for ourselves and to serve others how tapping into the Akashic field can help us release outdated, long-standing patterns, beliefs, and attachments that aren't serving us the Akashic Records as a potent tool for psychospiritual development and to align fully with your highest purpose as a healer or lightworker   In this episode, I speak with Gretchen Hill, a certified Akashic Records Master Practitioner (through Josephine's certification program) and Transformational Coach who guides women entrepreneurs and professionals to break free from generational money blocks and reconnect with their True Self. After surviving a near-death car accident, Gretchen experienced a profound awakening that led her to leave a long-term marriage and a 22-year career in higher education. She discovered her Soul’s purpose: to help women heal inherited money patterns rooted in ancestral trauma and scarcity. Gretchen's personal journey revealed deep, lineage-based beliefs—passed down through her Jewish ancestry—that kept her stuck in survival mode. Through forgiveness, ancestral healing, and intuitive guidance, she transformed her own story and now empowers others to do the same. Gretchen created the Multi-Generational Money Map™, a unique methodology that helps clients trace and release old money narratives, replacing them with abundant, soul-aligned beliefs. With advanced training in therapeutic modalities, including Internal Family Systems, CBT, Reiki, and psychosynthesis, she brings over a decade of experience in career counseling and a rich academic background in mental health and cultural geography.

As you work consistently with the Akashic Records, eventually you might get to a place where you're receiving messages, guidance, and insights even BEFORE you've formally opened the Records for yourself. (Or even after you've closed your Records.) This is a good sign that you're returning to your natural state of uninterrupted connectivity to Divine Source, which includes the Akashic Records. It's also a great sign that the Records are helping you fine-tune and open your intuition and ability to receive fully. In this episode of INNER WORK, I answer a listener question about this phenomenon of receiving messages from your Akashic Records even when you haven't officially opened them.

We're experiencing times of unprecedented growth and SO many opportunities for humanity to evolve, both collectively and individually. These times of change also bring with them chaos, confusion, fear, and resistance. Just as any inner process of transformation can trigger our egos and defense mechanisms, what we're seeing out in the world is a triggering of the collective EGO - which is fighting back and trying to distract us from our true paths of expansion and reclaiming our power. In this impromptu episode of INNER WORK, I share some thoughts on how we can re-commit to our paths as Lightworkers and Light-leaders. Join me for a discussion of: the recent uptick in emails and questions I've gotten from people feeling anxious about how to discern TRUTH from illusion on their paths - and how this reflects a larger pattern the interference that's trying to distract us from being fully powerful and from doing our Soul-aligned work in the world not getting derailed by fear-mongering or ego-based agendas, either from outside OR from within the spiritual community  leaning into the Akashic Records as a source of clear, meaningful, unbiased wisdom and guidance being mindfully alert and verifying everything you hear (from any teacher, healer, or anyone!) against your inner knowing and heart-wisdom   Get my free AKASHIC RECORDS MINI COURSE + weekly newsletter: https://josephinehardman.com/akashic-records-intro/ Visit my website: https://josephinehardman.com Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

The Akashic Records, also known as the "Book of Life", are a vast storehouse of information and Universal guidance. As a Divine tool, the Records give you access to higher consciousness, quantum healing, and powerful life-changing insights. In this episode of INNER WORK, I answer the following questions about the Akashic Records asked by real students: do you have to be psychic to read the Akashic Records? do you need energetic protection before opening the Records? do you need to keep your eyes closed to read the Records? should you open the Records at a certain time every day? how often can you access the Akashic Records? what happens if you forget to close the Records after a reading for yourself? what's the difference between accessing the Records and meditation?   Check out my previous video "What are the Akashic Records?" here: https://youtu.be/luWbkNre9xQ Get my free AKASHIC RECORDS MINI COURSE + weekly newsletter: https://josephinehardman.com/akashic-records-intro/ Explore becoming a certified Akashic Records Practitioner with me: https://josephinehardman.com/work-with-me/akashic-records-certification-program/ Visit my website: https://josephinehardman.com Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.
