Why Acne May Be More Than Skin Deep: Insights from the Akashic Records

In this episode, I dive into the emotional and spiritual roots of acne - we start by taking some time to presence and witness your personal experiences experiences and then go on a meditative journey to tap into insights from the Akashic Records. Accordingly to the Akashic Records, acne isn’t just a physical skin issue—it’s often tied to deeper, suppressed emotional energy. Through a guided meditation with beautiful, calming imagery and messages from the Records, the energetic home of our collective soul wisdom, I explore how acne may be a signal for us to go beyond the surface and confront deep, pent-up emotions that are ready to be released and share a journaling practice to help you process these emotions.

If this practice speaks to you, let me know using the comments below on how you receive or work with this.

If you are looking for ways to connect with your body and soul guidance on a deeper level, I invite you to explore my Soul Quest sessions where we tap into the Akashic Records for personal healing and growth. You can explore the links below to learn more.

Quotes:
1. "Acne is a situation of deepness. Something from deep within is coming out."
2. "It’s a cleansing. It’s a purging. It’s a way of your body processing some deep pent-up big emotional feelings."
3. "Your acne is asking you to go deep. It’s asking you to journal and write. It’s asking you to feel, feel, feel."
4. "You need to go deep at some point. Yes, you can ride the waves by staying on top, but sometimes you have to go deep. You can’t bottle it up so much. And they (the healing guides) understand that life is busy and life is fast, but if emotions stay in your body, they get released on your skin."
5. "It's more of a once-a-week thing,  especially when the full moon is high in the sky or if you have a uterus-bearing body is going through a moon cycle and shedding - that's also a deep form of releasing, and that can bring with it a lot of changes within your body. You can support it. You can assist it by letting yourself journal and release too at that time. 
6. You're writing at least 5 minutes, ideally 10, it's a lot of writing, because you want to go deep, you want to go deep, you don't want to stay at the surface, you want to go deep."

Hello. Um, my intention for today is to talk about the emotional, spiritual root of acne and How can we start to heal it at that level? Um, I want to share a bit of my own personal experience with All Things Acne and I invite you as you're listening to me to start to acknowledge and presence what is it that has been such a struggle.. I'm personally dealing with a lot more of a flare up. I definitely, I think there's been hormones that have gone gotten into the mix of leading to these breakouts. Like I know a lot of, I would call them scientific things that are triggering these. And I believe at the same time that there are emotional things that are tied to the hormonal ups and downs that are leading to the breakouts that I'm experiencing as like a middle aged. woman, um, who has had acne on and off throughout her life, has been able to manage it with skincare, everything from benzoyl peroxide to retinoids and more. Maybe you've gone for things like Accutane and other, um, treatments that exist, which like, you know, Great that we have access to modern medicine that can clear stuff from our skin, and yet I have been through seasons where my acne was at a minimum level and then I pulled back on a lot of ingredients when I had a kid and then my acne flared up, hormonal changes, acne flared up. Who knows what's happening now and acne's flared up. So I just wanted to check in within the Akashic Records, which is such a trove of wisdom as well as, um, like this library of our soul's history. And we have some experience with acne for millennia. It just feels It's more and more acute, could be due to environmental stressors and pollution and things of that sort. I don't know all the answers. I, I'm just here being curious and open as you might be, and therefore listening. So you want to journey with me and learn more. Um, invite you to meditatively, receive this. Trust that by you setting some intentions, maybe you want to experience a healing around your acne. Maybe you want to learn more about what could be the emotional or psychological, uh, spiritual root of why this is happening. Um, I'm coming in with a beginner's mind myself as much as I can to set aside my parts and, receive, um, what is it that we need to know and understand about it all. And so inviting you to settle in your space. Maybe get some water, Light a candle some crystals make this as a ritualistic as you can. I am taking a moment now to Pull up my Akashic record prayer going to see how the guides want to do it. I think we'll take some time to meditate now So if you're ready, inviting you to close your eyes and journey with me, we'll tap into the power of our imagination as you start to see yourself walking in your mind's eye. And maybe if conjuring up an image doesn't feel accessible, you can just let these words, elicit a feeling in your body. It's like, Oh, I can see us all putting one foot in front of another and then another on a cool sandy beach. You're walking in the shade as you walk towards the shoreline, the sand grains sifting in between your toes. And as you start to make your way towards the seashore, you can feel the gentle gaze of the sun upon the sand. The sand feels just a little bit warmer. And you settle down. Whatever clothing you're wearing is cotton and billowy, it's just blowing in the wind, allowing you to, through the thin fabric, really feel, really feel the sand and its warmth beneath you. As the cool, gentle breeze brushes against your skin, your hair, feel a sense of comfort. You feel a sense of deep relaxation. Inhaling now. Exhaling. Letting yourself feel how open, how grounded, how ready to receive you are in this space. Maybe there are other details relevant to you in this space. The sand's a certain color. Um, there's an island up front. Maybe you can hear a certain sound of the wind. Hearing is more of your receptive faculty than seeing, maybe you're feeling, like tingles down your arms as you're seated here. Let yourself really somatically experience and immerse yourself in the space. As I take a moment to open up the records and say, Of the light we see all around us, trust that you can connect deeply within. Trust that you can connect deeply throughout and trust that you can connect deeply above and below. This is the path to connect, connect to the space above, the ground below. And all the energy and beings that you channel throughout this time. This is the way, this is the space. This is the energy that you feel. Trust and connect and let it all be revealed. Set aside yourself. Set aside your doubts. Set aside any concern. Let yourself feel the energy of unconditional love. This is the magic. This is the beauty. This is the essence of the records. Trust that you are within them, one with them now and always and forevermore. Say this prayer and all will be revealed. Pass now on all future possibilities. Say this prayer, say these words, and trust that you are delivered to the doorstep, the doorstep of love. Deep connection of knowing and understanding who you truly are. This is the space. Welcome. The Akashic Records are now open. Let's take a breath here. And re- ground could feel a lot of energy building. And just taking a moment to orient to what was that. Hmm, I think the guides want to speak, so I'm going to let them through. So many of you are rushing, racing, trying to find the answers, figure things out. It's a very, it's a quickening of energy. There's a quickening of energy. And so in this quickening of energy that you are experiencing as a race, as a collective, that you are just trying to find the quickest, easiest solution and answer, which we understand. You need to move fast. You need to get somewhere quickly. Um, of course you try to speed through the traffic lights and eat a sandwich while driving on your way there. Um, I don't know if this will apply to where you live and how you operate, but certainly resonates in my, um, American view of the world for sure. And they're seeing, like, don't you see, don't you see that that's a very superficial way of living, of seeing, of doing when you move too fast, you can only skim the surface. It is just like if you see, um, a water surfer, um, like someone who's gliding on water, you're skipping and. Just skimming the surface of the water. You can't go deep. How can you go deep? Um, and acne is a situation of deepness. Something from deep within is coming out. Something from deep within is coming out. It's emerging on the surface and you can almost feel that. Hopefully there's nothing too dramatic I'm saying, but I just feel this energy of things coming from deep within. It is a cleansing. It is a purging. It is A way of your body processing, processing some deep pent up big emotional feelings. It's back to that analogy of skipping. and skimming on the surface of water. Water is emotional energy and you need to go deep at some point. Yes, you can ride the waves by staying on top and sometimes you have to go deep. Your acne is asking you to go deep. It's asking you to journal and write. It's asking you to feel, feel, feel. It's asking you to feel these tears, this anger, this Oh, like all these sensations that want to come through, you have to feel, you cannot bottle it up so much. And they understand that again, life is busy and life is full and life is hard and life is fast. These are the things that you tell yourself that you cannot allow for these emotions to surface, if they're going to stay in your body, all these organs in your body, like where can I release it? It gets released on your skin and then they feed other emotions. It's this never ending cycle, but then you feel frustrated and upset and worried and triggered by, Oh, and here I am with this skin situation again. And it doesn't remind you of who you truly are. It just reminds you of. This is the thing that's lying under the surface and I don't want to deal with you, but here you are and I have to deal with you. So our recipe and our invitation to you is. In addition to all the lovely skin care that you do, to journal, to write, the best way to process it all is to write. Let these words flow through. You can speak it into existence, you can write it into existence, but they're saying like journal to write, to free flow for a good five to ten minutes. This is not a short exercise. This is, that's, that's where the deep excavating work lies, is when you go and you write and you write so long and you write so far and you write so high up into the sky. So funny. Um, I have some funny guides here. I'm just taking a moment to recognize who is here to talk to us about it all. Um, they're saying we're healing guides. They feel not quite angelic in nature, but they have this very flowy garb to them. That's the vibe I get, and I feel like they're coming to us with such tenderness, like they're like, Oh, let's dab that spot that feels like it hurts, and let's send you love and healing. Um, they're saying as you process and you write at the end, they ask that we close that and we say, I seal this with intention. I thank you for processing and it's a way to thank all parts of you, thank the guides you are always working with to help you let go and release and notice if your symptoms subside. And I'm checking. Is this like a everyday thing? Is this a once a week thing? And I keep getting it's more of a once a week thing, especially when the full moon is high in the sky, like today, actually, as I'm recording this or. You know, when you with, um, uterus bearing body, um, again, it's not, I don't know if that's the best term, but that's what I'm getting is, um, going through a moon cycle and shedding of some sort, but that's also a deep form of releasing, and that can bring with it a lot of changes within your body. You can support it. You can assist it by letting yourself journal and release too at that time. So. It just feels like you're writing, you're writing, it can be on your phone, but you're writing at least 5 minutes, ideally 10, it's a lot of writing, because you want to go deep, you want to go deep, you don't want to stay at the surface, you want to go deep, and they are complete. Okay, well, I'm curious how that landed for you, that resonates, I like how straightforward and simple it is. And so I'm receiving that and setting an intention for myself to do some writing later today. I like to use the journal app personally on my iPhone. Um, I could use it on my iPad too if that feels better than just writing. Um, you know, in this like holding my hands, straining probably under the blankets while I'm trying to do in bedtime as well. Let me see how this flows, but I feel like probably after bedtime before I sleep, um, I can do that releasing. I think it will also support my intentions of improving my falling asleep patterns as well. With that, we're going to take a moment to thank our guides, our higher power, whatever you name them as. Set your intention for how you will receive what came through and put it into practice. One small step in the next day can help you integrate this into 3d reality. And even if that means scheduling your journaling session for sometime this week, when you're most probably likely able to do it even better, if you just sit down and start writing after you complete listening to this, um, maybe one day I'll have some more co- regulation videos on journaling together because it's a thing that I also tend to resist, um, but it's so good when I do. Yeah, well, closing our eyes and taking a moment to say thank you. I thank the magic of the space. I thank all the energies and beings that I channeled through at this time. I give gratitude to everything that came through. The records are now closed, the records are now closed, the records are now closed. And so it is with love and gratitude. for receiving and your shared energy. Um, I hope this serves you as it did me. And if you feel called to receive more deeply, um, all my offerings are on my website, nikhijoshi. com. Um, I have personalized soul quest sessions open. I also have many more videos if you feel called to explore through the channel that is the Akashic Records there. I receive so much as well. And trust your inner yes, no, as always, there is no pressure or urgency. It's really practicing, listening to all parts of yourself and what you most need right now. And from that place, taking the next step. Thank you.
