Writing Your Resilience Podcast Episode 55

Using the Akashic Records to Awaken the Powerful Writing Voice Within You with Akashic Records Master Teacher Amy Robeson 

Every writer wants to be successful, but sometimes, we just get stuck or feel uninspired. Even when things are going well, we can be baffled when our big wins don’t feel more successful. This week, I’ll explore these struggles alongside my guest, Akashic Records master teacher, Amy Robeson. Join us as we bust some of the myths around success, talk about the secrets to raising your vibration, and explore some out-of-the-box ways you can awaken the powerful writing voice within you. 

Lisa Cooper Ellison [0:00]

Well, hello, Amy, welcome to the podcast. 

Amy Robeson [0:53]
Thanks for having me. I'm so excited to be here with you.

Lisa Cooper Ellison [0:55]
Well, I'm really excited because I love your podcast, Awakening with Amy Robeson. It is an amazing podcast, and we are just going to have an interesting conversation about awakening and about the tools we can use to do that, and how we can raise our vibrations, and why that's so important for creative people. But before we dive into that conversation, I always like to give my guests an opportunity to tell us a little about themselves.

Amy Robeson [1:25]
Yeah, so I'm an Akashic records master teacher. I've been teaching the Akashic records since 2017. For anybody that doesn't know what the Akashic records are, they're a field of infinite possibilities that holds every word, deep thought, and moment your soul has experienced, recorded in the Akashic field. We can open up the records and receive love, guidance, and support in any and all areas of life. I teach spiritual modalities and spiritual tools for people to have a good life and, most importantly, to find and have self-discovery. The modalities I teach are all very weird and strange, but they allow you to connect to something deeper within and outside yourself.

Lisa Cooper Ellison [2:08]
I love weird and strange! And what I would say to anyone who has a creative practice is that weird and strange fits into the role of novelty, and novelty is so important to your writing life because it cracks you open and allows you to see things in different ways. That is one of the ways that we awaken – by seeing differently. And so, in preparation for this conversation, I was really thinking about what my definition of awakening is, and I'm really interested to hear what your definition is, just to see how much they line up. When I was thinking about awakening, I started thinking about my own experience of awakening, which has been a process that I’ve been going through for many, many years. To me, it's related to self-awareness and connecting to something outside of yourself. For me, it is higher consciousness—a sense of something divine, both outside and inside myself. That's how I interpret things, but for some people, it can be as simple as connecting to your writing group, having a community, or connecting to your creativity. And that's important because we all start from nothing when we are creating. You know, we go from the blank page to something, and that is miraculous. Also, being willing to listen to what your soul is asking you to do, hearing that still small voice, and then having a willingness and openness to doing what it asks. How does that line up with yours?

Amy Robeson [3:42]
Oh, I love that. I think for me, awakening is like waking up from the sleep you are in, in one reality. When you start the awakening process, you start to see or sense or feel that this reality is no longer fitting into where you want to go. All the illusions of self, the illusions of identity, start to peel away because you feel uncomfortable. It's like a crab that’s outgrown its shell. You must be willing to let yourself be in a vulnerable place, to get out of that shell and remove it, to metamorphose into your true, authentic self. And we go through many awakenings, not just one. When you're going through that awakening, you start to question your beliefs, your identities, your values. They just don’t feel right anymore, but you're not sure why. They just don’t feel right. So, you start questioning everything—who you are, why you’re here, and what you want to do. Sometimes, when someone awakens, they experience a tragedy—getting fired from a job, losing something, transitioning out of something, or it could just be as simple as you’re just not comfortable in your skin anymore. You don't know why. For me, awakening is this process of discovering who you are. Some awakenings are easy, and some are dark night of the soul awakenings. But we go through many of them throughout our lifetime.

Lisa Cooper Ellison [5:25]
Yeah, I’m so glad that you said that—it’s not just one “aha” moment. It is a process that continues and changes over time. There are these layers of awakening, periods of awakening. I don’t know if this has been your experience, but it certainly has been mine. There have been times when awakening happens, and then it’s almost like the awakening is integrating inside me. You know, it’s like big change happens—discomfort, reorganization of who I am, all of that questioning you just talked about. Then it’s like there’s a lull, and I’m like, okay, life is good again, or it’s easy, or I’m in the flow. Then, oh, there we go, another opportunity.

Amy Robeson [6:11]
It’s like that, you know? When you do deep work too, once you get through, like, the first dark night of the soul, the second one is not as difficult, but it still can be difficult. When you're doing deeper work, there's this integration process where you have to allow the universe to catch up to you. Just because you reorganize doesn’t mean everything can reorganize like that. Everything in your reality has to shift—sometimes crumble, sometimes fall away, sometimes be invited in—and then life just ends up changing. It can change in a short period, but during that period, it can feel like it’s taking forever. We don’t want it to take forever. We want instant gratification, but that’s just not how it works. I know I’ve done some deep work in 2024 on my business and on myself, and I’m like, I’m just ready for it to change! Like, come on. But I know there are all these things I have to do to make the shifts on the outside, not just on the inside of how I worked on it.

Lisa Cooper Ellison [7:26]
Yeah, and I think taking time and being patient is really important. This relates to an episode that you recently had, because what can happen when we are in what could feel like a dark night of the soul is that we want things to hurry up because our vibration is very low. What we need to do during those dark times is find ways to seek something higher to elevate ourselves. I think that can be really helpful, but I think people can get confused, or maybe they feel misguided about what it means to raise your vibration. I’m going to say something and then turn it over to you. In positive psychology—and I think in some of the more prosperity-focused styles of spirituality—it can feel like, oh, if I just have all these positive thoughts, all these positive things will happen to me, or I’ll manifest everything I want. It can give you the impression that if I’m doing all these things and I’m still in a dark night of the soul, or life is difficult, I’m doing it wrong—my vibration isn’t high enough. What would you say to that?

Amy Robeson [8:48]
I think you have to stop and pause and take inventory. If you're not manifesting something that you're really wanting, the question is: What’s your why? Why do you want to manifest that thing? If you don’t get clear on your why, it’s very hard to attract that very thing. The second piece is, just because you think positive thoughts doesn’t mean you believe them. If you’re not embodying that positive thought, and it feels like it’s outside of you—it’s something you’re saying but not actually integrating or believing—it’s just noise. It’s not something you truly believe yet. You can believe it, but if you’re going through a dark night of the soul, it’s hard to believe that positive thought because everything feels like you're going through the ringer. 

It feels depressing, dark, hard. It’s hard to grasp something that feels great inside your mind. The invitation during the dark night of the soul is to dig deeper into your emotions and feel them. We don’t want to spiritually bypass. Spiritual bypassing is when you're like, everything's going to be so positive, and I’m going to be positive, and everything’s going to work out. But sometimes, you have to go into the anger, the frustration, the sadness—whatever emotion you’ve been avoiding—and feel them. Because once you feel them, you can set them free. They will set you free, because you don’t have the space for that positive thought or affirmation until you process what’s clogging your energy. Once you acknowledge and release those emotions, you can then bring in what you want to attract.

Lisa Cooper Ellison [11:07]
I love that you just said that because it aligns so much with how I see things. We have to attend to whatever our feelings are. Feelings aren’t wrong; they’re just signals, right? They’re just energy. If we allow that energy to flow, we free ourselves and allow for something else to come in. I’ll be the first to admit, I’ve done this in the past—where I had a mantra or something I was saying, and I was really afraid. Fear is the thing that hides underneath it, and I was both afraid and hoping that saying this mantra—whether it was related to my creative life or something else—would take the fear away. But it wasn’t until I attended to the fear, sat with it, and said, “Oh yeah, I’m afraid. What do I need to feel safe? How can I allow this to move through me?” that I could actually take that in.

Amy Robeson [12:06]
And it’s a totally normal feeling. Even when I teach my program Sacred Awakening, where I teach people how to use their Akashic records, I have students who are like, “I’m so scared of what I’m going to discover.” I’m like, yeah, I totally get that. But I’ll tell you right now, the Guardians, Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones of your records are never going to share something with you that you’re not ready to receive. So, give yourself permission to acknowledge that you're scared, nervous, or thinking, “What if I don’t do it right?” Perfect! Lean into it, and just say, “It’s all going to be okay. It’s all going to be okay, because we’re just practicing. And it’s okay if we make mistakes, because the only way to learn is to practice.” Just like if you want to learn how to use a saw, the only way is to turn it on and start using it, right? With fear, I think it’s important to befriend it because fear keeps us frozen, preventing us from moving forward and engaging.

Lisa Cooper Ellison [13:09]
Absolutely. One of the things I’ve found people are most afraid of is becoming their most powerful and authentic self and being successful. 

Amy Robeson [13:22]
Absolutely. If I become successful—fill in the blank—yeah, am I going to leave my family behind? Are people going to like me? I'm not going to have the same friends, or I'm not going to have the same colleagues, or I'm going to be leaving this group or this community or this, because that means I'm growing and they're not coming with me. Or if I'm successful, whatever money belief you have around success is going to come up too, or any belief system around having that success is going to come up as well. And the only way through is through.

Lisa Cooper Ellison [13:56]
Yes. And I think one thing that I find happens for a lot of people, and I see this in the writing community a lot and in other spaces as well, is that when we become successful, when we really touch that in some way—even if it, and I don't even believe that there is some, you know, mountaintop of success you're going to get on top of and stay there forever because that's not how it works—that there can be tremendous grief, right? Grief for the time when you didn't see yourself that way.

Amy Robeson [14:23]
I think there's even grief after you reach the success, yeah, because there's so much illusion of what that success looks like. And then when you get there, your body doesn't actually give you the dopamine hit that you are searching for, because it gave you the dopamine hit along the journey, and that's the exciting part. And so, you don't get the rush of dopamine when it actually happens most of the time. Sometimes it could. But if you even look at Olympic athletes, after they've worked so hard, after they've gone to the Olympics, most of them go through depression afterward because they've done the thing that they said they were going to do, and now what? And so, my thing is, stop chasing happiness. Choose to be happy in the moment. Choose to be happy along the journey of whatever it is that you're working on. Everybody's working on all sorts of different things, right, in all areas of their life, but choose to be happy now, and not when you get that thing, not when you achieve that thing, not when you write the book. Like, you can be actually happy in the journey. And one of the things that I love about the Akashic records is it allows you to have self-discovery with yourself. So, if you do have a hard time figuring out the steps—let's say you're wanting to write a book—you can use the records to outline your book. You can use the records for writing the book. You can use the records for why am I actually not writing the actual book? What's holding me back from using my voice? What are my subconscious fears that I have around writing this book, and why can't I actually bring it to the finish line? And that's the thing that I love about the records, is just because you can use them for anything and everything that pertains to yourself.

Lisa Cooper Ellison [16:16]
I love the synchronicity with this, because this is going to air at the tail end of this Substack series that I'm doing on voice and where your voice comes from. How does it show up on the page? So, I think this is going to dovetail nicely with this, and we are getting ready to dive into the Akashic Records, because I think they are going to be so powerful. Before we do, I want to talk about an exercise that I did with a class recently that speaks directly to what you were just saying around, you know, can you claim happiness right now rather than chasing it? And so, I saw this on Instagram. You see a lot of things on Instagram, and I will put this little clip on in the show notes so people can see it. But it was this wonderful exercise. And in it, this person is saying, "Well, you know, I'm going to go do this thing, I'm going to become an author, and I'm going to have a speaking tour, and I'm going to do this, and I'm going to do that," and then this other side of her says, "And then what?" And so, this is the exercise I did with the class: "If I achieve X," and I had people fill in the X, "and then what?" And then I said, "Whatever that 'what' is, I want you to put that, 'then, if I have that, then what?'" And do that seven times and see where you get and then journal about what is keeping you from doing that. Whatever that final thing is, and it was a huge aha for so many people. 

 Amy Robeson [17:35]
I love that. What a fun exercise. And I think that's neat, because it's true, like you're waiting for the next thing, and then sometimes people already know what the next thing is, right before they get to the finish line of the other thing, and so they don't even stop to celebrate. So that's why, like, "Oh, I'm done with that. Okay, let's go on to the next thing." Right? This is where we miss the ability to raise our frequency or raise our consciousness through the practice of gratitude. I'm so grateful I got this opportunity. I'm so grateful that I actually did it. I'm so proud of myself and this and that or whatever, and you get to take the time to celebrate. Yeah, I think that a lot of times people think, well, if I'm going to celebrate, it should be when someone's getting married, or having a baby, or gets a job promotion. No, you can celebrate that you just simply got out of bed this morning. Yes, you brushed your teeth and brushed your hair, or whatever it is that you are having a hard time doing for the day. Celebrate it. Because, yes, life is challenging, and sometimes we're in these lows where it takes so much effort, a tremendous amount of effort just to take a shower, or it takes a tremendous amount of effort to sit down and start writing, or to sit down and do whatever it is that you're wanting to do, and it could be for a multitude of reasons, but just celebrate it. Just celebrate the smallest, tiniest win. Because the more you celebrate the smallest, tiniest win, the more you're going to actually look forward to looking at all the wins throughout the day. And then you raise your frequency because when you count your blessings, the universe blesses you with more.

Lisa Cooper Ellison [19:22]
Mm-hmm, absolutely. And I would say, you know, in the writing world, that could be, "I thought about my project today." Yeah, I heard the small thing. You haven't even sat down at the page. I just heard that. So, the small wins are important, but one thing you definitely don't want to do with the big wins is don't self-gaslight by dismissing what you have achieved. I see this happen all the time, where people will say, "Well, I won this contest, but maybe it's a mistake. Maybe they feel sorry for me," or "I got this publication, but it's not the New York Times," or "I published my book, but it's not, you know, in some... I haven't sold a million copies," whatever things you're imagining. Having gratitude for what is so important, regardless of whether it's the teeny tiny things or the big things, because that's part of how you raise your vibration, as you said, and allow for those integrations to happen. So, you can really understand what's next. And in terms of figuring out what is next, or what we should be doing, or what might be getting in our way, you have a fabulous tool for us.

 Amy Robeson [20:26]
Yeah, and that's for me, that's the Akashic records. Yes. And if anybody's listening to this and they're like, you've mentioned that several times, like, it's a fantastic spiritual tool that allows you to understand who you are and how to navigate life. It's not fortune telling. It is a spiritual tool. Akash means space in Sanskrit, or it's the book of life through the Bible. And what it does, the Akashic records—what it does is it's an autobiography of your soul, and the Akashic records holds every word, deep thought from the moment your soul is incepted. And we can go inside of the Akashic records and ask for love and guidance and support in all areas of your life. And we are talking to the guardians of your records, also known as the masters, teachers, and loved ones, and they're there to support you in understanding who you are, and they can support you with the past, the present, and the future. And for me, this is one of the coolest life tools, because it couples well with any other tools in your toolbox, from meditation to movement to writing to anything like it's going to couple well with that. 

Lisa Cooper Ellison [21:45]
I'd love for you to give us a taste of this power, what it can do for us, because you have an exciting offering that is coming up, which you're going to have a chance to talk about. But can you, can you tell us a little more, help us see what this is like and how we might use this?

Amy Robeson [22:03]
Yeah. Are you interested in getting, like, a miny reading? 

Lisa [22:15]

Sure.

Amy [22:17]
For anybody that's listening to this, anytime I do readings on podcasts, we're in a big group. There are people listening or watching from around the world. And so, anything I share on here that resonates with you, it's for you anytime. Anything that doesn't, leave it behind. And so, what I'll do is I'll share whatever you want to ask a question about, and then I'll generalize it for your audience as well. So, what are you wanting to ask a question about, or what are you wanting support with, or what are you struggling with right now?

Lisa Cooper Ellison [22:43]
So I'm going to share the highest-level details of this, because I think that's the easiest way. So last year, I mean, I talk about this a lot. I have complex PTSD. I'm a trauma survivor, and there was this one trauma that I did not have access to for most of my life for a very good reason. My nervous system was saying, it was not time yet. And my nervous system finally said, “Here you go.” I have been in the process of integrating that, and as I've been integrating that, it was hard for me to write for several months. One of my wise ones said at a time when I was feeling pretty down, like, oh my gosh, you know, how can I coach other people if I can't write myself? I mean, you know, we go through these periods. And what he said to me that really stuck was, “Maybe your voice is changing. Maybe you need to allow time for that integration to happen, and then you're going to write from a new place.” So, I think my creativity is starting to speak to me again, and I'm beginning to feel that energy. But how do I lean into this new voice or understand when the new voice is there? Or what do I do with all that? I don't know if that's a good enough question, or if you want to lead me into something more specific.

Amy Robeson [24:03]
No, that's a fantastic question, and I love it, and thank you for sharing that with me. What I'm hearing for you is you need to take her for a walk. Who's her? It's your voice. Take her for a walk. And it's a metaphor, and also physically, if you wanted to, you can go and take a walk, get your headphones on, grab your phone, and you can literally do a Voice Memo app or use the Otter app and speak as you're walking, kind of channeling some information, because you know when you're writing a book, what do you do? You channel, like you're tapping into this higher source of energy that wants to speak through you. And so, the only way to get familiar with a new car is to take the car for a test drive, right? And so, what I see you doing is taking her for a walk in different places you don't typically write. So, if you have, you know, your writing space that you normally write in, go into a different space, because what's going to end up happening is your space that you typically write is going to start changing to match your new vibration and the frequency of where your voice is heading.

Lisa Cooper Ellison [25:14]
Yeah, that is making so much sense, and there is such serendipity in what you're saying, because I was actually listening to this call with someone else who was talking specifically about the Voice Memo app, and speaking into it just this morning, and it was related to somebody else that had done this. So that resonates with me a lot, and I think that's going to be really important, because the project that is calling to me, and I'm saying it out loud, and gosh, my heart is even beating fast even saying it like, you know, I'm feeling it in the moment, is that I've had all of these different projects I've been working on, and the one that is saying you need to write me, you need to write me, you need to write me, feels almost the most spiritually risky, but also the richest. My whole life is predicated on a near-death experience. So, I had this near-death experience right after birth, and I've been unpacking what that has meant for me. How has that helped me understand myself or made it difficult to understand who I am, how my life has unfolded, all these different things. And the idea of writing about something so ethereal feels important and also really scary.

Amy Robeson [26:29]
I think it's fantastic. I think they're saying that you already know you're meant to write it, so just rip off the band-aid and start writing. Okay? And they showed me this visual image when you first started sharing your question with me, and then they wanted me to go back to it, because I didn't share it with you. But it's important for you to know that it’s like you're going from a green to a purple. If we think about the chakras, you're writing from your heart, which is great. You always want to write from your heart. What you're moving into is bringing spirit into heart. Mm-hmm. Does that make sense?

Lisa Cooper Ellison [27:09]
It makes total sense, because some of the writing that I've done thus far. I've written in the past week and a half, three dirty drafts of chapters. And then there's this chapter that I have to write now where I'm like, oh, I have to go into this?  Really?  Oh, okay. But the tone of everything is different, and it matches what you're saying. Because when I think about this other project, which I've talked about a lot, but it's on hold right now, is that my brother died by suicide back in 1997, which was a really tough situation. But what was interesting about it is that it happened, and then I ended up on this heavy-metal tour three weeks later that went into Yugoslavia when they were trying to overthrow Milosevic. So all of these big things were happening at the same time, and I saw these people whose land was as war-torn as my heart was, and I had this massive awakening because I was just in a state of absolute devastation where I couldn't hear anything from anyone other than someone bearing witness to my pain, which is appropriate for someone who was in the early stages of grief. But I was so mired in that grief that I couldn't see any light. Like, no light. It was just absolute darkness. But when I saw the people who were... I mean, I spoke with the dissidents who were trying to overthrow the government, and met these different people, I had all these experiences in this very short period, it was this huge aha for me. And then looking back, it was also this time where I was so devastated and it felt like my whole life was falling apart, and yet I was completely held, like I got everything I needed. I couldn't see it at the time. Like, that's the great thing about writing. You can see these things in retrospect, but that manuscript has a lot of darkness and a lot of heartache in it. Like it was written very much from my heart, and this new work, I don't know how to describe it, but purple feels right. 

Amy Robeson [29:13]
I love it. And, you know, grief is such a complicated thing, and I love that you went on tour, and you got to experience something that allowed you to process your grief in a different way. It brought you to the next stages of grief, right? One of the things that the guardians are sharing is that while you're writing in this new phase of your life, be willing to go where you haven't gone before. And they're saying that, that's why they wanted me to come back to your writing space is going to change, because it will help bring forward this new type of writing style, because it feels different. You know, like when you paint a room and you liked the room before, but you're like, oh, I really want to paint the room, and all of a sudden you get some new paint color up on the walls, and you're like, "This feels so different in here." It feels good, or maybe it doesn't feel good because it didn't turn out to be the right color paint, right? But regardless, it feels different. Yes, good or bad, it feels different. And they're saying that your space, it needs an energetic overhaul to match your new frequency.

Lisa Cooper Ellison [30:28]
Oh my goodness, another serendipity. I was just reading something about that seriously, and I looked at my writing space, which also happens to be my business space, like, you know, those things have been happening in the same space, and I've been feeling that need to overhaul it. Like, if you want a different energy, you have to change it in some ways. There's something there. So, what you're saying to me fits with these urges. And what I would say, if anyone's listening and you're hearing this, and there's a piece that's an aha for you, think about what is resonating for you in this, even though she's, you know, Amy, you're talking to me, you're also talking to everyone. Yeah, things like changing your space, saying things out loud, recording yourself. There are so many things that you've just said, walking with your voice is so important. Yeah, I'm just going to be sitting with this. I'm smiling right now if you're listening to this on Apple Podcast, because, yeah, it just fits so well. You've given me this beautiful feedback for myself. If we extrapolate it out to everyone else, and we're thinking about, you know, the world we're in in 2025, where do you want to take that?

Amy Robeson [31:40]
Yeah. So, what the guardians are saying is it's really important to set yourself up for success this year. How do you want to show up? What do you want that to look like? And not that looks matter, but the way you feel and what you're wearing and how you're showing up directly impacts the way you navigate each chapter of your life. Setting yourself up every day for success is really important, yes, which is funny because I've never channeled this before, but they're saying that getting dressed, figuring out what you want to wear, because so many people work from home, and some people don't work. But they're saying it's important to get dressed as if you're going to an office when you're writing. It's important to dress in a way that makes you feel comfortable and in flow and at ease with yourself while you're doing that. What that looks like for each and every person can be completely different. The other thing that the guardians are saying is your environment impacts your thoughts. Clean out the things that don't feel good to you anymore. Clean out the clutter from the spaces where it's hidden. Don't just shove something in the corner and think it's going to make everything okay in the space, and yes, temporarily. You can do like casual cleaning, a little bit at a time, if you have a big project. But they're saying, get into the nooks and crannies, because all that vibrational space is within your writing and within your container to create. And so, the container in which you create needs to support your creative endeavors. So have it match where you're wanting to go, not where you're currently at.

Lisa Cooper Ellison [33:32]
I love that. No, it makes total sense to me, and what I hear in terms of dressing for success or setting yourself up, you know, setting your space up for success, is really thinking about what does success look like for you? What creates ease for you, what makes you feel confident, what makes you feel like you are in your power, what makes you feel authentic? And you know, sometimes the yoga pants—and I'm laughing because I think it was 2020 when I started working from home full time, and I was like, why am I wearing these uncomfortable jeans or uncomfortable pants, or like, formal pants, right? That’s what I would call them—formal pants. Like, why am I wearing formal pants all the time? I work from home; I don’t go out because this pandemic is happening. And so, it became yoga pants city. I can still have the yoga pants; I'm not going to necessarily completely get rid of those, but really thinking about what makes me feel confident and in my power and authentic, so that I’m not in frump-ville, because it is so easy, especially if I’m not on camera, to be like, you know, it can be a dress-down day, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But I think if we get stuck in that, it affects everything else.

Amy Robeson [34:49]
I agree. And for example, it’s a snow day here, and I had my pajama pants on, and I’m like, oh, these just feel so cozy, and I just want to keep them on. But... No, I’m going to go get dressed. I’m going to go get my jeans on, I’m going to go get my top on, I’m going to go do whatever I want to do to feel good. And it does change the way you feel. And I think that so often there’s this misconception that you must have somewhere important to go to dress up in your fancy clothes. I’m like, no, you don’t have to go anywhere. Like, I will wear the craziest dresses or the fanciest things just sitting and writing or working on my business just because it makes me feel good, and the actual piece of clothing brings me joy, or it sparks joy. And one of my girlfriends and I, we have a commitment to each other that we’re going to go out to lunch throughout this year and wear the fanciest clothes that we have in our closet, that there’s nothing else going on, but to just go to lunch in them. And it’s fun just even thinking about it. 

Lisa Cooper Ellison [35:56]
I love that. So now I have to make some lunch dates with some friends, where I can wear my fancy clothes. I’m going to, right? Yes, yeah, because there’s so many things in my closet, and there was actually a piece of clothing—it was actually a pair of shoes—that I did not buy because my justification was, I work from home. How many times will I wear these? Well, it’s a legitimate thing to think about, and it’s also a limiting thing because it’s saying that I can’t wear things that make me feel good or that I think are cool or that I like because I have to have a place to go to, or I have to have an excuse for it. Well, I can choose to be happy now. I can choose to wear whatever it is or do those things. 

Amy Robeson [36:41]
You can wear them while cooking dinner. That’s the fun part. I don’t think it’s as common now, but remember, like, back in the day, you'd always have, like, a potpourri that you'd put in your bathroom and fancy bathroom stuff, but it was always decoration. You could actually use it, but people didn’t. use it, because it was decoration. I’m like, no, you use that thing! Like, use it if it makes you feel good. But regarding fancy shoes, just wear them. Just wear them while you're writing. The nice thing is, they won’t hurt your feet, right? 

Lisa Cooper Ellison [37:12]
Exactly? Another thing I’m going to do, in addition to, yes, I had this whole plan to revamp my space, but there’s this closet. I’m sure other people listening have the closet or the space... Doing this work of cleaning out this closet, even though it might not feel like writing, it is enhancing your writing life to set up your space for success because it sets up your mind for success. And when your mind is set up for success, you are more open, and you feel an experience of flow and ease in your process. Well, if people want to learn more about the Akashic Records, you’ve already given us so much, I feel like I’ve gotten 1,000 wins. So, thank you, Amy. But I want everyone else to be able to explore this in whatever way they like. Tell us what you have coming up.

Amy Robeson [38:09]
I do a 10-day, it’s absolutely free, a 10-day event. It’s online, it’s virtual. It’s called the Soul Evolution Master Class Series Extravaganza. And the reason why it’s an extravaganza is because we go Monday through Friday for two weeks, and we go into the Akashic Records. We work with the ancestors. We clear money blocks. We clear abundance blocks. So, bringing in more abundance, we talk about ways to manifest with the Akashic Records, and why you might not be manifesting even if you’re doing all the things that you’re supposed to be doing, and why that occurs. And then we do a lot of different types of healings and group healings inside of the Akashic Records as well. So, if anybody’s interested in that, you can go to the amyrobeson.com/masterclass, and that’s theamyrobeson.com/masterclass.  And it’s really fun. We always have tons of people that come, and if you can’t join the live, you can catch the replays

Lisa Cooper Ellison [39:17]
I love that. And if you missed it or didn’t write it down fast enough, it’s going to be in the show notes, which are just an easy click away. What are some other ways that people can connect with you, if they want to see what you’re doing online, or they want to listen to your podcast, which is fabulous? 

Amy Robeson [39:32]
So everything’s on my website, even our podcast episodes. So, it’s theamyrobeson.com, make sure you put the "the" in there—T-H-E. You can also check out my podcast. It’s on all the streaming platforms for podcasts. It’s Awakening with Amy Robeson. We also have a YouTube channel that we put all the podcasts up, so it’s on there. Now we usually have one live show a week, plus we have other free gifts. We always have something going on for everybody that wants to either learn more about Akashic Records or other modalities that I teach, and just basically have community, because that’s the most important thing, is just having community of like-minded people that want to learn and grow and evolve. 

Lisa Cooper Ellison [40:13]
Awakening with Amy Robeson, also you do some live podcast episodes. I know that as well on YouTube, and so we’ll make sure that people have access to connecting with all the things you’re doing. Because, yeah, if you have a question for Amy, you might be able to ask that during one of her live episodes. Yeah.

Amy Robeson [40:33]
We do it once a week. If you go to theamyrobeson.com/free, that usually will tell you when our next live is. Once a week, we have the regular show that just gets aired. So, we have two episodes a week, and then if we have any other master classes that are going on, there’s always something going on.

Lisa Cooper Ellison [40:50]
Well, this has been a fabulous conversation. Thank you so much, Amy, for being part of my podcast experience and community. How would you like to end for today?

Amy Robeson [41:03]
Well, thank you so much for having me on. This was a lot of fun, and I can share one more little message that the Guardians want to share, if that’s something you’re interested in.

Lisa Cooper Ellison [41:08]
Yeah, absolutely.

Amy Robeson [41:09]
Sure. The Guardians are saying, don’t let overwhelm stop you from progress. 1% progress makes a world of difference each and every day. So even if it’s just moving one book out of your closet, maybe that got thrown in there for whatever reason. Or if it’s just thinking about the thing, you really want to do and writing it down, 1% progress is better than doing nothing, and don’t let overwhelm stop you.

Lisa Cooper Ellison [41:42]
I am writing that down, and I’m going to put it up in my writing space. Thank you so much, Amy.

Amy Robeson [41:47]
Thank you.
