The One Akashic Records Question That Will Change Your Life

Have you ever wondered about your soul purpose, or what mark you’ll leave on the world? Do you ever reflect on whether you’re truly living in alignment with your soul’s deepest purpose? Do you ever feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed thinking about what’s the point when life gets hard? 

There is one question that I love to ask in the Akashic Records that has the power to completely shift your perspective and your life. 

That question is: “What is my legacy in this lifetime?”

Why This Simple Question is So Powerful

Asking about our legacy, or soul purpose, is more than just a prompt for self-reflection or journalling.

It helps us understand ourselves and our soul, across multiple lifetimes and dimensions.

I consider it an expanded version of, “what is my soul purpose in this life?”. And that is probably one of the most popular questions I get asked as a professional Akashic reader.

And for good reason: many of us struggle to figure out if we are in alignment with what we came here to do.

Especially when we face obstacles, or life feels hard, overwhelming or challenging. Especially when life is full of setbacks, disappointments, and other emotional challenges that can frustrate us.

Asking this legacy question in the Akashic Records gives us a higher perspective than we could ever get from journaling alone.

Why Your Legacy Matters More Than You Think

When most people think of legacy, they picture material wealth or major achievements.

But in the Akashic Records, legacy takes on a deeper meaning.

It’s not just what you leave behind. It’s also the energetic imprint you create through every choice, interaction, or moment of presence you have with yourself and others in this life.

The Akashic Records often show us that our souls choose specific missions before we incarnate. And these missions may not be as flashy as the life-changing accomplishments we tend to associate with legacy. 

Your legacy might include the special way you offer your family a listening ear. 

Or it might be about how you comforted a grieving friend during their terminal illness. 

Maybe your legacy is to create a safe and secure environment for at-risk youth in your job.

Or maybe your legacy is to learn how to express yourself creatively and then inspire others to tap into their own creative potential. 

Legacies can even be built through small, consistent acts of kindness, love, or simply being true to ourselves… especially in a world that seems hell-bent on getting us to conform or “follow the leader”. For me, being an Aries sun, this is an uncomfortable place to be 😉

How the Akashic Records Can Reveal Your Soul Purpose 

When you ask the Akashic Records about your legacy, the answers go beyond what you can see from your limited human perspective. 

An Akashic reading might reveal:

• Your soul’s original intentions for this lifetime
• The ripple effects of your actions, even those you might never see
• The hidden gifts you’re here to share with the world
• The karmic patterns you’re here to heal
• The souls you’re meant to impact

What makes this question so powerful is that it bypasses your ego’s limitations. It connects you directly with your soul’s wisdom. 

Rarely, my clients have NOT been surprised by the answers that have come through when they’ve asked me this all-important question. 

The answers often surprise us because they reveal soul purposes (truly, legacies!) that are far more meaningful and impactful than we could have ever imagined.

Your info is safe with me. I will guard it with my life and promise no spam, ever. I genuinely hate it as much as you do!

The Unexpected Ways Your Legacy Is Already Unfolding

After hundreds of professional online Akashic readings, I’ve learned that YOUR legacy is already in the making. And that it doesn’t exactly matter if you’re aware of it or not!

That smile you gave a stranger last week? The Records may show how that simple act changed the course of their day or even their life.

The time you chose to forgive instead of hold on to resentment? That decision may help heal deep ancestral patterns that have existed for thousands of years.

The Akashic Records remind us that legacy isn’t just about the future. It’s also about how we show up in each moment, and how our energy, intentions, and actions create ripples that extend far beyond our physical existence.

Do You Have Limiting Beliefs about Your Legacy?

Many of us have limiting beliefs about what a meaningful legacy might be. (And I include myself in this category as an ambitious, hard-working entrepreneur and mama!)

To leave a lasting legacy, we might think we need to:

• Build a successful business
• Write a best-selling book
• Accumulate great wealth
• Achieve fame
• Create a world-changing product or invention 

These are all valid expressions of legacy, of course. 

But you might be surprised that the Akashic Records often reveal that our most significant contributions can come in ways we might consider ordinary. 

More Examples of Legacy or Soul’s Purpose (Including My Own!)

Here are some more examples of a legacy, or soul’s purpose:

• The healing we facilitate by working on ourselves
• The grace with which we handle life’s challenges
• The emotional safety we offer to those around us
• The boundaries we have learned to set with toxic family members
• How we inspire others by growing through our own struggles
• The compassion and empathy we bring to our relationships

Part of my legacy in the Akashic Records is focused on helping empower my clients to think of healing beyond just the physical body. The Records highlighted (and confirmed) how important it is for us all to work on our emotional/mental health.

This was not really a surprise to me. After all, it’s what I’ve focused on for the last decade since going to nutrition school. But what did surprise me was that the Records revealed how deeply our spiritual and energetic well-being are connected to our ability to heal on every level.

It’s not just about what we eat or how we manage stress. It’s also about the limiting beliefs we have, the energetic patterns we’ve inherited, and the soul-level lessons we’re here to learn.

This perspective shifted everything for me. It helped me see healing as a multidimensional experience rather than a one-size-fits-all process. It’s about peeling back the layers. We need to address the root causes, not just physically, but energetically, emotionally, and spiritually as well.

If you believe the same, you’ve come to the right place!

How this One Question Can Change Your Life

Learning about your legacy in the Akashic Records can sometimes throw us into a tailspin. And it often sparks change. 

Here are some insights I have learned in my years of working with the Records that have shifted my perspective:

• Your presence matters more than your accomplishments. The Records show that HOW we make others feel often has a far greater impact than WHAT we do.

• Your challenges are part of your gift. The struggles you’ve faced may have prepared you to guide others through similar challenges.

• Small actions can have profound effects. The Records often reveal how even the smallest choices can create ripples across time and space.

• Your legacy is already unfolding. You don’t have to wait for some future moment to start making a difference. It’s happening with every step you take and every move you make (sorry, I couldn’t resist!).

How This One Akashic Records Question Changes Everything

Once you understand your soul’s legacy through the Akashic Records, making decisions becomes simpler. 

You can start to:

• Align your choices with your soul’s purpose, rather than what society expects of you.
• Release the pressure to create an impact that doesn’t align with your true self.
• See the immense value in being exactly who you are.
• Trust the timing and unfolding of your path.
• Find peace in knowing you’re exactly where you need to be.

You can take a big deep breath now.

Ahhhhh….

The Shadow Side of Soul Purpose

The Akashic Records also reveal something about soul purpose that’s often overlooked. 

Sometimes, our greatest contribution comes through facing and transmuting our shadows. 

By acknowledging our wounds, we create space for others to do the same.

By healing ourselves, we help heal the collective.

It is not an easy task, as anyone who has experienced a Dark Night of the Soul can tell you. But it is among the most important work you can do… if you’re called to do it.

How to Discover Your Soul Purpose in the Akashic Records

I wanted to share this important question because asking, “What is my legacy in this lifetime” can change your life and how you live it.

These are just a few examples from myself and my clients.

But of course, there is nothing quite like uncovering YOUR own personal legacy directly from the Records.

Your unique soul purpose can offer information about:

• The precise nature of your intended impact
• The souls you’re meant to affect
• The gifts you’re here to develop and share
• The karmic patterns you’re here to heal
• The timeline of your legacy’s unfolding (especially if you feel like things are happening slowly or you feel stuck)

Are you ready to discover your soul’s legacy?

During a 1:1 Akashic reading, we’ll:

• Access your unique Akashic Record
• Find out your soul’s intended legacy
