Inner Work: A Spiritual Growth Podcast

In this ongoing podcast series, I interview Akashic Records Practitioners (graduates of my Certification Program) 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and healing gifts (both for ourselves and to serve others) how tapping into the Akashic field can help us release outdated, long-standing patterns, beliefs, and attachments that aren't serving us the Akashic Records as a potent tool for psychospiritual development and to align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 Julie Brock, who became certified as an Akashic Records Master Practitioner through my Akashic Records Certification Program in 2025. Julie is a deep listen

Are you a GOODIST? Identified by mindbody pioneer Dr. John Sarno, goodism is a personality trait where highly conscientious people put pressure on themselves to be "good" at all times (and to be perceived as "good" and selfless by everyone). Some other characteristics of goodism include: putting others' needs and desires above your own, most or all of the time getting your sense of self-value from being "needed" by others finding it intolerable when someone else criticizes you, gets mad, or disagrees with you (and so trying to avoid this at all costs) playing the role of peacemaker in others' disagreements  going along with what others want, rather than making your voice and preferences clearly known avoiding conflict by not speaking up when others disappoint you or overstep your boundaries In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll explore this trait of goodism and how being a "goodist" can become a problem... because it leads you to suppress your authentic self and to give all of your energy and power away.

Also known as the Book of Life, the Akashic Records are an infinite storehouse of information, wisdom, and Universal guidance.   As a Divine tool, the Records give you direct access to higher consciousness, quantum healing, and powerful life-changing insights.   In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll explore some distinct ways in which working with the Akashic Records can heal you. For example, the Records can help you: shatter 3D illusions (such as the illusion of separation and illusion of lack) align with Higher Truth - despite any chaos, noise, or distractions from the outside world experience potent perspective shifts, which free you from getting stuck in a fearful or triggered state shed "human density" and ego understand the spiritual reality behind our human experiences (both personally and collectively) receive healing light to upgrade your energy system & physical body soothe and regulate your nervous system The more time you spend in the Records, and the more you open yourself to receive thei

The Akashic Records 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 a recent student question: "how can you tell when and IF you're in the Akashic Records?"    I describe a few different ways you can "tell" when you're genuinely in the flow of the Akashic Records (including what it feels like & what to look for).   We'll also discuss what it feels & looks like when interference has gotten in the way, and how to know when you're likely NOT in the Records.   Thank you for tuning in! **************** You're lovingly invited to join my email community and get access to my free Akashic Records Mini Course + weekly newsletter: https://josephinehardman.com/akashic-records-intro/ Explore the next round of my Akashic Records Certification Program: https://josephinehardman.com/work-with-me/akashic-records-certification-program/ Conn

As humans, we all have an ego self. This is the persona or identity we've developed (unconsciously, as part of our human development) to be able to cope, survive in the world, and maintain a certain appearance in front of others.   The job of your ego mind is to protect you, keep you safe, avoid change, and maintain the status quo - even if the status quo is not serving you. (Ego will always CLING to the familiar and old patterns.)    To try to keep you safe, your ego mind will use sneaky tactics - including making you doubt yourself, making you feel inadequate, and triggering fear when you try to expand beyond your comfort zone.   In this episode, we'll talk about fear and doubt as (counterintuitive) forms of ego protection, and how you can begin moving beyond these ego patterns that may hold you back.   You can watch this episode as a video here: https://youtu.be/lDsunj4W6as   Thank you for tuning in! **************** You're lovingly invited to join my email community and get access to my free Akashic Recor

In this impromptu bonus episode, I share some guidance from the Akashic Records about what to do if you're feeling overwhelmed with the state of the world today (in early 2025).   This is going out to my fellow Lightworkers and Light-leaders trying to make a difference in the world.

The specific words, prayer, ritual, or method you use to access the Akashic Records are NOT as important as the frequency, energy, and state of being you're holding when you access them.   Your frequency matters above ALL else, and it includes: the level of openness, curiosity, and beginner's mind you're bringing to your readings how grounded & anchored you are in your physical body when accessing the Records (i.e., not using the Records for spiritual bypassing or to "escape" reality) the level of safety you feel in your body and nervous system the beliefs and thoughts you're holding about yourself, about the Records, about the process of accessing them (especially beliefs having to do with your worthiness & ability to access them) your capacity to recognize and dissolve ego mind interference your level of emotional regulation & stability how much you're trusting yourself and the Records   These are all essential components that make up your overall frequency.   They determine how

One of the key ingredients that can "make or break" an Akashic Record reading is HOW you're formulating questions for the Records. There are some questions that can unlock potent healing, insights, and shifts when you're in the Records... ... and other questions that don't work as well, because:  they aren't appropriate for the Records (such as "should/shouldn't" questions) they're too general/broad they stay only at a surface level of insight they lead you to a dead-end This is why the kinds of questions you're asking -- and how you're asking them -- are both really important. I created this episode because one of my students recently asked some awesome questions about what we can ask the Records. In addition to giving you specific examples of what you can ask the Records, I walk you through some guidelines for formulating effective, impactful, powerful questions for the Records so you can get the MOST out of every reading.

Starting on April 8, 2025, I’m bringing together a select group of conscious healers, coaches, and lightworkers… and teaching them how to: Tap into the Akashic Field of unconditional wisdom and healing on command Connect to a source of Divine Wisdom that can clear away limiting patterns and beliefs at the speed of light (without YEARS of talk therapy or endless “working on yourself” that doesn't create lasting change) Use the Akashic Records as a tool of QUANTUM HEALING to clear away your own “stuff” (fear, resistance, self-doubt, second-guessing, overthinking, overgiving) so you can confidently show up for your clients – and powerfully help them clear *their* stuff as well Turn on your deepest inner guidance and experience deeper states of flow, connection, and purpose – consistently Become a grounded, confident, effective Akashic Records Practitioner and help your clients get life-changing results, so they keep coming back and referring you to everyone they know If you’re feeling the call of the Records –

As spiritual teachers, healers, and lightworkers, we have a sacred responsibility to adhere to certain ethical guidelines when we do our work. This ensures we're protecting our clients and ourselves, and creating a safe and grounded container for our healing work. This episode of INNER WORK is a discussion of some of these ethical considerations, both as a suggestion for healers and lightworkers and as a guideline for when you're looking for and evaluating a healer, coach, or mentor to work with. Some key discussion points: what originally sparked me to create this epiode why it's SO key for healers, lightworkers, and spiritual teachers to dismantle the old paradigm of power over/power under (where the healer or teacher is presumed to have all the power and knowledge, and the client or student has none) why humility, groundedness, transparency, emotional stability, and integrity are essential qualities for teachers and healers (and how things can go wrong when these qualities are missing) the 5 TOP red flags

The Akashic Records are not an exclusive modality - meaning that you don't have to be special or psychic to access them. The Records also don't require you to abandon any of the other healing modalities or tools that have been working for you and/or your clients. My Certification students have powerfully combined these modalities with the Akashic Records: Family Constellations Reiki Biofield tuning Sound healing Life coaching Transformational coaching Business/professional coaching Ayurveda Psychosynthesis Counseling Intuitive & energy healing Hypnotherapy Tarot And more!

In the process of personal transformation and healing, you'll often find yourself existing somewhere between your “old self” and your “new self.” The “old self” is the identity that has served you up until now, which you have likely outgrown and are now seeking to shed. This “old self” is made up of the collection of attachments, self-perceptions, habits, behaviors, choices, and coping mechanisms (or “life strategies”) you’ve been carrying with you from the past. Your “new self” is your emerging identity and new way of BEING in the world, made up of the collection of conscious choices, behaviors, beliefs, and life strategies you’re stretching yourself into. This is part of your expansion, part of your awakening. This brilliant Self – your true self - is revealed, layer by layer, the more you shed anything that doesn’t reflect the truth of who you are. As you expand, you often have to “straddle” this in-between state: that state when your new Self hasn’t fully emerged, and your old self is still sometimes ru

This month, I've been teaching my new Soul Purpose Workshop for Akashic Record practitioners. A student in this workshop asked a really important question: "How is asking for guidance from the Akashic Records different from wanting someone outside of us to give us the answers?" In this episode of INNER WORK, I’m going to break this down and offer a clear explanation of the vast difference between these two things. Join me for a discussion of: the misconceptions and illusions that make us believe we're separate from the Universe (and therefore separate from the Akashic Records) how the Akashic Records give you access to your Higher Self and Higher Mind 3 key points to ensure you're seeking guidance from a place of empowerment, groundedness, and worthiness  how to make sure you're not seeking guidance or answers from outside of yourself how to make sure you're not unconsciously (or consciously) giving your power away to any healer, teacher, or mentor - or to the Akashic Records!   You're lovingly invited to j

Navigating the 3D, human, earthly, mostly ego-based plane can be challenging. It can demand a lot from us. For this reason, it's completely natural to feel a sense of tiredness, exhaustion, or just wanting to "go back home." BUT -- in these chaotic times of revolution and upheaval, the Lightworkers and Light-Leaders are being called to be more fully present than ever before. Not to escape reality, but to be more fully grounded in that reality, so we can create actual, meaningful change. Join me for this episode of INNER WORK so we can make a difference together, and meet the challenges ahead while staying connected at all times to Divine Source -- and to our inner wisdom, knowing, clarity, and purpose. Explore how the Akashic Records can help you do just that.

In this impromptu episode of INNER WORK, I answer a student question about whether the information we can access through the Akashic Records is limited to planet Earth, or if we can tap into higher and vaster realms of information and consciousness. Everything in this episode is based on my 21-year experience with the Records - both personal and professional - plus recent research into how they operate. Join me for this discussion of: understanding the Akashic Records as an all-encompassing, cosmic field of information and energy is there such a thing as the "Akashic Records of Earth"? how the ego or linear mind has attempted to define (and label) the Akashic Records quantum research into the Akashic Records from Ervin Laszlo the importance of having a clear purpose and intention (and being fully grounded in reality) when we explore questions about past lives, interplanetary lives, in-between lives, starseed origins, etc through the Records You're lovingly invited to join my email community and get access t
