A Step-by-Step Guide to the Opening Prayer

The opening prayer of the Pathway Prayer Process is a sacred and powerful invocation. Approaching it with mindfulness and reverence is key to a successful connection. Here is a step-by-step guide to the process.

Step 1: Prepare Your Space and Yourself

Find a quiet, comfortable place where you will not be disturbed. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Uncross your arms and legs. Take a few deep, cleansing breaths to clear your mind and release the energy of the day.

Step 2: Set Your Intention

As we discuss in our article on the role of intention, this is a critical step. Hold your question or the purpose of your session in your heart. You might want to write it down on a piece of paper and place it in front of you.

Step 3: Read the Prayer Aloud

The prayer is meant to be read aloud. The vibration of your voice is part of what attunes your energy to the Records.

• Read the first half of the prayer, which is the same for everyone.
• When you reach the point to state your name, say your current, full legal name out loud. This is your unique energetic signature.
• Read the line that says, "I open my Akashic Records."
• Then, read the second half of the prayer.
• When you are finished, pause and say, "My records are now open."

Step 4: Notice the Shift

After you have declared your records open, take a moment to notice the subtle shift in energy. You might feel a sense of peace, a tingling sensation, or a feeling of being in a larger, more expansive space. These are some of the common signs of a successful connection.

Step 5: Ask Your Questions

Now you are ready to ask your questions. Speak them aloud and then listen patiently for the answers, which may come as thoughts, feelings, images, or a deep sense of knowing.

By following these steps, you create a sacred and reliable container for your journey into the wisdom of your soul.
