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 answer
• The key difference in detail: regression tends to be immersive and specific, while Akashic detail is determined by what is relevant to your questions
• How to choose the right option for you: deep past-life exploration vs soul-level guidance and perspective
• Why different Akashic readers read differently, and how intention and focus shape what comes through
