According to the Akashic Records, what is the first step in moving forward into the best version of our life?

The Akashic Records gently remind us that the very first step is to shift from making decisions with our mind to making them with our heart. The mind is valuable, yes—but it often pulls from past programming, fear, or societal expectations. The heart, on the other hand, speaks from truth, presence, and soul alignment.

They encourage us to use the heart as our compass—to tune into how something feels rather than whether it sounds logical or fits neatly into the boxes we’ve created. This shift into heart-centered decision-making can feel unfamiliar at first, especially for those of us who have long relied on the rational mind. But your heart speaks in clarity, resonance, and quiet knowing. And that knowing is the key to your most authentic path forward.

The Records also invite us to honor the intuitive mind—that inner knowing that often arises before thought—as a sacred tool. Yet they ask us to notice that our rational mind often serves old beliefs, repeating outdated stories and patterns that keep us stuck. These beliefs may have once protected us, but now they often limit what we believe is possible.

To begin the shift, the Records suggest asking yourself heart-based questions like:

·        “How does this choice feel in my body, not just in my head?”

·        “What would it feel like to live with a sense of freedom?”

·        “What would it feel like to release the limiting stories I’ve been carrying?”

·        “Does this idea expand me—or constrict me?”

The heart leads through feeling.

The mind wants to solve a problem.

The soul wants to expand.

So when in doubt, feel first. That’s where your next step lives.
