One of the most common things I hear before a reading is, “I don’t know what to ask.” That hesitation is so normal. The truth is, there is no perfect way to phrase a question in the Akashic Records. Still, the more intentional you are, the more clarity you’ll receive. The Records respond best to open-ended questions that invite reflection, not yes or no answers.

This guide is designed to help you. I’ve gathered 55 thoughtful questions, organized into categories so you can find the ones that resonate most with where you are in your journey. Think of them as starting points. You may choose a few or let them spark your own wording. However you use them, trust that the Records will meet you where you are.

Questions About Your Soul’s Path and Purpose

These questions focus on your larger journey. They are helpful when you feel called to understand why you are here and what direction will align with your deeper truth.

1. What supports me in aligning more fully with my soul’s purpose?
   
   

2. What gifts am I being called to use more in this lifetime?
   
   

3. How can I live in greater harmony with my soul’s blueprint?
   
   

4. What lessons am I working through at this stage of my life?
   
   

5. How can I honor my true calling in practical ways right now?
   
   

When you bring these kinds of questions into the Records, you may receive insight into your natural strengths, nudges about opportunities you’ve been overlooking, or reminders of what lights you up. These questions are especially supportive when you feel uncertain or disconnected from your direction.

Questions About Patterns and Growth

Many of us notice the same themes showing up again and again. It might be a repeated struggle, a type of relationship, or a belief that holds us back. The Records are a powerful mirror for uncovering patterns and helping us see what is ready to shift.

6. What recurring cycles am I being asked to release?
   
   

7. What beliefs are ready to shift so I can move forward?

9. What old stories no longer serve me?
   
   

10. How can I step into greater freedom and expansion?
    
    

These questions often bring through compassionate awareness. The Records do not shame or scold. Instead, they highlight patterns with love, showing you what can be released and what new choices are available. The Records gently reveal the deeper roots behind your patterns, making it easier to release what’s outdated or heavy. As you let go, the Records also highlight the new energies, choices, and patterns you’re ready to embody as you grow into your next chapter.

Questions About Relationships

Relationships are one of the greatest teachers on our path. Whether romantic, family, or friendships, they reflect our growth and ask us to show up with authenticity.

15. What do I need to know to deepen compassion for myself and others?

These questions are not about prying into someone else’s privacy or asking the Records to reveal another person’s secrets. They are about understanding your role, your lessons, and how you can bring more truth and compassion into your connections.

Gentle Reminder

As you explore these first categories, notice which questions stir something in you. You may feel excitement, curiosity, or even resistance. All of these are signs that the Records have wisdom for you there. You do not need to bring all 55 questions into one session. Three to five well-chosen questions are often the perfect amount for meaningful guidance.

Questions About Career and Finances

Your work and relationship with money are often tied to your sense of purpose and security. The Records can help you see where your career aligns with your soul and where limiting beliefs may be holding you back.
