Akashic Records: Unlocking Hidden Business Insights | Rita Mirchandani DSH #857

One day, I got this pain in my left knee, and this pain wouldn't go away.

My mom suggested I go to an energy healer.

I had been very against all of this prior to that.

I go, the second I stepped in

her office, the pain left, and I was just like, Okay, whatever.

Suddenly, she's like,

Can you feel things around you?

I'm like, Yes, I feel things all the time now.

I hate it, I hate all of this.

The healing that came with what I thought was the worst moment, and looking back now is like when my life really began.

But I needed it because I was so suppressing everything that I think life was really asking me to focus on.

All right, guys, Rita, Merch, and Donnie here today.

We're going to talk the Akashic Records and how you can utilize it in your daily life.

Thanks for coming on today.

Oh, thank you so much for having me.

I'm so excited to be here and talking to Akashic and seeing how it can help each of us in our daily lives.

Absolutely.

How did you get into this journey?

Was it at a young age?

No.

So actually, for most of my life, I have been, I was a very logical person.

I grew up in a household where education, you know, learning to be logical was very valued.

And while my mom was spiritual, it wasn't something I was ever personally interested in.

I was, every time she would be like, do you want to learn about this?

I'd be like, no.

I was actually a chess player for a lot of my life.

Oh, yeah.

I'm a chess player.

You are?

What's your Elo?

Oh, my gosh.

Like...

1900?

Holy crap.

What's yours?

1450, but you're

a chess port here.

Next time, I'd love to practice to play you yeah so i haven't played in a while but i taught chess like so that's how my mind worked very logical wanted things to be in order went to college no spiritual interest when i was about 25 i had what we would call as a spiritual awakening um which basically means that to me one day i was very logical the next day i had zero

I was having all these experiences that I couldn't explain.

Suddenly I started to see energy.

I started to see the world world very differently.

And that's where my spiritual journey began.

This spiritual journey eventually led me to finding the Akashic many years later, about five years after the spiritual awakening.

Wow.

So what do you think prompted that experience at age 25?

So there was an exact moment.

So at 25, I was going through.

It's kind of a weird story, but I was going through a breakup.

We were like in the discussion of breaking up.

And it was kind of happening over a few days where we were like, are we going to stay together?

Are we not?

And it was causing me such deep pain, like the deepest pain I probably ever felt other than when someone had died.

And during that process, one night we were like, all right, just come sleep over and we'll talk about this more tomorrow.

So the next day, or actually that night, I'm sleeping at his house.

And I wake up.

And in the corner of the room, I can only describe what I feel is like an energy that scares the crap out of me.

And it basically,

I don't know if this was intuitively, I don't know how it happened.

I got this feeling of like, you need to leave this room right now.

You need to go home.

And this is not the life you're meant to be living.

Wow.

So I woke him up and I said, hey, something really weird just happened.

This was verbatim because we've talked about it, what happened.

I said, there was something like a monster in the corner.

He obviously thinks I'm like, I don't know.

But I've never said anything like this to him before.

I said, I'm going to go home.

We'll meet tomorrow and we'll talk.

The relationship naturally disintegrated.

But after that night, I kept having experiences with energy.

And that was the first moment.

And that led to about a year and a half of extreme pain.

Wow.

Where I was just constantly in emotional pain over the breakup.

I had had parts of my life that really weren't in order that had to kind of come in order.

And that's where,

synchronistically, one day I got this pain in my left knee and this pain wouldn't go away.

My mom suggested I go to an energy healer.

I had been very against all of this prior to that.

So I was like, all right, I'll try it.

So I go.

The second I stepped in

her office, the pain left.

Wow.

And I was just like, okay, whatever.

You know, so I lay on her table.

And because I'm in such pain, I just am crying, just crying, crying, crying.

But suddenly she's like, can you, can you feel things around you?

I'm like, yes, I feel things all the time now.

I hate it.

I hate all of this.

And she became my first teacher.

And that's when I started to learn the healing that came with what I thought was the worst moment.

And looking back now is like when my life really began.

Wow.

So it was a pretty dramatic shake-up,

but I needed it because I was so suppressing everything that I think life was really asking me to focus on.

And I wasn't happy.

Looking back, if I had to rate my life on a one to 10, it's probably four, but I thought I was very happy.

Interesting.

So when you were feeling physical pain around your body, was that other people's pain you were feeling?

I'm sure it was.

I think now looking back, it was.

But I think I had

suppressed who I was so deeply.

A lot of it was just

coming out.

Yeah, it was like, accept me, accept me, see me, feel me, become me.

And I just had never allowed myself to do that.

Interesting.

So did that first mentor read your Akashic records for you?

No.

So what ended up happening is that first mentor would just be like, all right.

Think of a word and I would think of a word she'd be and then she would be like she would write the word down and then I would say the word and it would be the same word.

And I'd be like, Oh, this is real.

Like, this is something's happening.

I don't know what's happening, but something can read your mind.

Um, I wouldn't say that, I'd say there's patterns in a field that we can all connect to, and when people are open, you could potentially tap into the same pattern.

Wow.

So, you know, you can just feel things, right?

Like,

it sounds out there, but you and I could look at a person and be like, That person looks sad.

You know, you can just kind of feel things off people, even if they don't look it, or that person looks like they know something.

it's the same way but you start to go a little deeper or if we go deep enough there's not much we can't if it's for our highest good tap into wow so she started to teach me through this like showing me that i already had this we all have this but that i was kind of wanting to open to it and then um during that time I was working at a corporate job.

I was doing actually weddings.

So totally different job.

I would do my wedding job and then I would go do all this energy stuff because

I didn't know what it meant.

I just knew that it was making me feel better.

I started to feel like, started to actually have like life in my face again.

I started to kind of look more like myself.

So I was like, okay, this is good.

And then I started to have this random calling to go to Asia.

And this calling would not go away.

Again, I tried to suppress it, but at this point,

things started to happen so rapidly in my life that like if I suppress something I would dream about it if I would suppress something, someone else would be like, oh, you should go do that.

So I couldn't look away from what I felt like was being asked of me.

So

that prompted me to quit my job,

sell everything I owned.

And the crazy part of this story is that, okay, it sounds great to do all that.

I had no money.

I had $2,000 to my name when I did that.

So that was crazy.

I had just graduated with my master's degree.

And

I just felt that it was what needed to happen in my life.

So I did it.

Crazy.

Because the flight alone was probably a thousand.

I had points.

Oh, you had points.

So that's how I was like, I've managed it in my mind.

I was like, all right, if I have enough points to get me to Asia, I will go.

Right.

And I did.

Was there a specific part of Asia that called to you?

So this is where the spiritual part starts to come in more.

I basically said, all right, universe, if you're asking this of me, I'm going to trust you.

And wherever I have enough points to, I'll go.

So I had two places that I could go.

One was Seoul, South Korea, and one was to Beijing.

Beijing required a visa.

So, I was like, all right, that's out.

So, I started in Seoul.

Wow.

And I went.

And what ended up happening was like, literally, about a month before I left for the trip, no one knew.

My parents didn't know I had that little money.

No one knew this because, of course, everyone would be like, just wait a few more months and then go.

Yeah.

But I was like, no, like, I'm going.

And like, if this is what I need to do, I'm going to go.

So about a month before I left for the trip, I got in a bad car accident.

And long story short,

that ended up giving me some money for my trip.

I didn't ask for it, but the insurance company was like, oh, since you're not keeping your car, here's the money.

So then I ended up having money to fund a lot of my trip.

Wow.

So everything happened for a reason, right?

I like to believe that.

Looking back, I can see how crazy it was at the time for me to do that when I could have been more logically minded about a lot of it.

But the calling was too loud to ignore it.

That's so interesting because a lot of people plan their vacation so logically.

They're like, oh, let me save up money and then we could book this a year from now.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

And I think if you, you know, we're on a budget and stuff and you have a family, it makes sense why we have to like plan things out, right?

But if you are young and you are able to have the ability to travel on your own,

I think you should listen to that nudge.

So were you getting a lot of downloads in Asia?

Was there specific things happening to you out there?

Yeah, so before I left,

I'm really big on like in the spiritual process experiences and also like trying things out for yourself.

Like it's great to hear, oh yeah, this is how the universe works, but no, like become one with the universe and find out for yourself how it works.

So I set out on my trip with the intention that

I would only listen to the nudge of the universe as I traveled.

So what this looked like is when I got to Seoul, I didn't know where I would go next.

I'm like, I will stay here until I get the nudge or the calling to go somewhere else.

And what started to happen was

just miracle upon miracle started to happen.

Because you, like, I know a lot of people in poker talk about this or in sports, you get into a flow state.

I feel like I was in a flow state with the universe, where literally for six months,

I would wait till I got that nudge of like, okay, you're in the right spot.

You're not in the right spot.

Like, you know, you kind of look, we can call them signs, but when you're in that process, things start to kind of become magic.

Right.

So, you were there for six months.

Have you had an experience like that?

You know, where you get in that state where you're like, all right, things are kind of aligning.

I feel it.

Definitely.

In the workplace, and I used to be a distance runner.

So, on certain runs, like I would just feel like so in touch with everything.

Yes.

They call it runner's high.

Yes.

It was kind of like that, but more so just like a lot, like it felt like you're in a river and you're just kind of being carried.

Right.

So, after Asia, where, where was the next place?

So, I ended up after Asia.

I kind of just got this knowing of like, all right, you're done searching now.

Now you can come back.

And like, I don't believe everyone on your spiritual path needs to leave the country or do it.

Like, of course, what we need is within here, but I didn't know that back then.

I came back to the U.S.

And that's when I

got connected to the Akashic Records.

So

my experience with the Akashic is I was like, all right, I'm just going to...

book a reading.

I don't know why.

Let's see what happens.

I booked a reading.

It was mind-blowing, the experience.

And in the reading, the woman told me, Oh, yeah, like you're meant to be doing that.

Like, are you not reading the records?

And I was like, I don't even know what those are.

I don't even know.

And she's like, well, just go try it.

And like, just see what happens.

So that very day, I, after the call, I was like, all right, I'm going to try it.

And I had an experience.

So I was like, okay, cool.

I had one for myself.

Like,

and then I just went online and I posted something on Instagram.

And I was like, anyone want to try this?

Anyone want to to try this with me

yeah do you want to just try this and this girl who I don't even remember how we connected she's like yeah I'll do it

so we did it and she's like I think you you're on to something I think you should keep doing this so I just kept offering free readings I'd be like I'm not claiming anything just like let's try it yeah and then slowly it started to build where it was like oh this has become a full-time thing where you're now offering readings and like people are resonating with it wow and for people watching this that don't know what the Akashic Records is, could you explain that?

Yes.

So if you were to Google it, it's known as the Google of Energy.

And basically, what that means is that imagine there's a field of energy that contains the past, present, and future of existence.

To break that down into human words,

it's where our soul essence lives.

And it's, to me, it's where we can connect to our soul.

You don't need someone else to read it for you.

I, I,

you, on your own, can just say,

I would like to intentionally and loving connect to my own Akashic record and just notice what happens.

Do it in a quiet place.

Wow.

I believe it's something we can all do.

It's available to us.

Now, whether we want to is a different story, and whether it feels like we need to is a different story.

But in my experience, it changed my whole life.

And so now I teach people, but again, you don't necessarily, I learned on my own.

You don't need a teacher.

It just might speed up the process of how fast you learn how to quickly tap into things and how quickly you, yeah, basically learn how to navigate it.

Right.

So you could find your soul's purpose by doing this.

Yeah.

And you can find a lot more.

So I think a lot of times people go to a reading, like, that's the number one question I'm asked.

What's my soul's purpose?

Yeah.

So I see things a little differently than maybe it's not black and white.

Like a lot of people will be like, so what's my purpose in this lifetime?

And they want to hear something like, oh, you're meant to be a healer.

You're meant to be an entrepreneur.

You're meant to be a billionaire.

We have so many different purposes.

I'm like, well, which area of purpose are you speaking to?

And, like, also, different parts of our life.

Like, when you were in high school, right, maybe your purpose was to be, was that, were you a runner in high school or later?

Yeah,

that might have been that purpose at that time in your life.

Now, where you're at right now, this could be your purpose, right?

You're spreading information through this podcast, you know, you're reaching so many people, helping people through this.

It's not always so simple as like just one word, but what I find the Akashic to be really monumentally helpful with is

patterns.

And what I mean with patterns is

everyone has patterns, every human, every person.

And when

we are in patterns, we're not present.

So that's like the number one word in spirituality, right?

Like be here now, find presence, come back to the now.

There are some people who are living around 60% of their lives out of presence, even higher.

They've mapped this, like in the brain.

We know that our subconscious dictates, I don't know the exact percentage, I think it's up to 80 to 90% of our daily lives.

So we can make assumptions that a lot of us are not living in the present moment.

But

when we look around, you know, why do we want to go, like, what's the point of being present?

We're all being driven by our past.

So like,

you know, in dating, oh, well, I'm scared this person's going to hurt me because even though that person's done nothing to you, I'm scared of this because of my past.

You know, in business, well, I'm just scared to make that big jump because what if this happens?

Again, we're living in the past.

And

to me, the power of the Akashic is that you can go to the past and unhook yourself.

So you no longer have that power or that pattern dictating your now.

Interesting.

Yeah, I used to live in the past for sure in high school.

I think most of us do.

It's a comfortable place, and we don't often even recognize we're in it.

Wow, that's so fascinating because you get these belief systems from the past, right?

Yes, and some are ancestral.

So they're not even, some of these are not even ours.

That's the crazy part, too.

Like a lot of this is not even ours.

We could say it's past life.

If you don't believe in past life, we'll say it's ancestral.

The truth is, it doesn't matter where it came from.

It matters that somewhere there's a pattern that's influencing your life now.

And

like I had one client, just as an example of how it could work,

she was deathly afraid at night.

She's very successful, like amazing woman, but at nighttime she would always be afraid.

And she's like, I don't know why I have this fear.

Nothing consciously has ever happened to me to like influence this fear.

And

we went into her Kaushik.

She found, I didn't find it.

So I like to guide people to the root.

so they can see it for themselves.

Cause I find that's even more impactful if you yourself see it than me telling you.

She found her root.

She was deplugged from it.

And then a few months later, I receive an email where she's like,

oh, I just wanted to tell you that

I didn't even notice I'm not afraid of the dark anymore.

It happened so gently that, like, it wasn't till my parents were here that they noticed I'm no longer afraid.

Wow.

I forgot about it.

Like, I forgot that that even existed.

Crazy.

Yeah.

So that's just a small example, but we all have things in our life that are, you know, pulling us in different ways that we're not fully free from.

I used to sleep with the light on as a kid.

Yeah.

I found out later that my house was haunted.

Oh.

Yeah.

So I was shutting off my powers.

And I know you experienced a similar thing too, right?

Yeah.

Where you shut off your powers.

Yes.

Yeah.

You can suppress it.

Yeah.

What happened with you?

I can't trace back to where it all began.

I just know it felt like it wasn't safe to be open.

Yeah, I think a lot of children go through that without even knowing.

I agree.

I agree.

And that's cool that you actually know where it began because now now you can go back to, you know, your little self and let him know.

Again, going back to the past and deplugging and let him know, hey, I see that you were onto something.

Let me just let you know you were onto something because you picked up that this was haunted.

And I know adults may not know that or may not believe in that, but you, you can recognize this and it's okay that you were afraid.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's the thing, right?

Telling your parents, like, there's a ghost in my room.

They're going to be like, you're crazy.

Yes.

Well, actually, now that you mentioned that, I did have a moment as a kid where I remember,

I don't remember the exact situation, but I remember saying something that triggered a fear in adults.

Oh, I remember now.

There was a situation where, long story short,

I felt like something bad had happened at our neighbor's house.

And

my parents were kind of just like, no, it's fine.

You know, it's fine.

Nothing happened there.

And I ended up getting dropped off at school.

My mom kind of like, for whatever reason, it lingered in her mind, like, that's kind of weird that she said that.

Let me just go check.

And when she went over there, she saw that there was blood in the pool.

Whoa.

And she went and grabbed a ladder, and their dog had fallen in the pool.

What?

And it was like completely covered in blood, struggling to get out.

She got it out and it lived.

Wow.

So I don't know if it would have, hopefully it wouldn't have died, but it was definitely struggling at that point.

Wow.

And you sensed that from houses down the street.

And to this day, I don't know, right?

I just, I don't know why little me said that at that moment, but she did.

And I remember though, that like, at least my recollection, whether this is made up or not, when I think of that moment, was that adults didn't like that.

Nobody likes that someone can pick up on something like that.

It makes them uncomfortable.

So I picked up like, oh, but they like when I'm logical.

When I'm playing chess,

that's when you know people are like, oh, good job, you know?

That's interesting.

You said earlier your mother was spiritual, though right yes she was very supportive and my dad was always he's been supportive in so many ways his thing was never spirituality so i think it was just more you know i don't even know if it was my parents i think it was more the world

that's interesting that you got both perspectives yeah and i i like a lot of the spirituality i hope to teach and kind of

bring forward is logical and

mystical.

I think that's where everything's supposed to meet.

It should be, yeah.

Some people people go too far down.

Yes.

One or the other, right?

Yes.

But I think you need both.

I think you do too.

We're in a human body.

Like

the human body matters.

We need to keep that perspective.

Yeah.

Do you ever deal with sleep paralysis or nightmares?

I luckily have only had a few experiences.

Have you had that?

Every time I travel, I have nightmares.

Really?

And I asked my spiritual advisor why, and she said I'm picking up on the energy from the previous people sleeping at the hotel.

Oh, do you clear the room?

No.

She said I need to start doing that.

I can recommend you a spray.

So I bring it everywhere.

It's a sage spray.

It's

charged in the Sedona vortex.

Wow.

It is by far, like, I love this spray.

I'll show it to you after.

No, I need that for my studio too, because I have hundreds of different energies coming in.

So, oh, the other thing is rose oil.

Highest vibration on the planet.

Really?

It comes from roses.

So rose oil.

Like put it anywhere.

Just a dab.

It's very expensive.

Pure rose oil.

That will knock anything out.

Great to know.

That will knock anything out.

Also, what I like to do is I carry Palo Santo essential oils.

Just take a cup of water, dab it in there, that'll clear the room.

I love that.

So it's just small things, but also if you are like, oh crap, I forgot everything, just picture the room being cleared out.

You can, visualization will do a lot.

You can literally like manifest a ghost out of there.

You might have to say,

like, get the hell out.

But yeah, you can do that.

Like, for example, if I ever sense anything and I don't want it there, no.

Just no.

Do you struggle in crowded places?

Like, sensing energies?

No, I actually don't.

I used to a ton.

So, like, I would consider myself hyper-empath.

But the more I've embraced my like human self, the more I found it easier to be in those places.

I just choose to no longer believe it can impact me.

I love that.

Yeah.

Cause like we said earlier, when you go down too far the path, you can't even go in public.

Well, they say that.

I'm like, that's like a lot of people I work with are like, well, I'm an empath, so I can't do this.

I'm like, I can't do this.

And I'm like, no, no, no, no.

We're calling our power back.

And like, you are taking control of that room, you know?

And I think, yeah, like, that's.

Nothing can take it from you unless we let it.

Powerful.

You recently got called to Ireland two weeks ago, and you said it's actually a very spiritual place there.

Yes.

So I'm half Irish.

I know you're half Irish.

So growing up, I spent every summer there, and I wasn't really connected to the

spiritual side of Ireland.

But it's a, I find a lot of Irish people, even those who weren't born there, because there was such a

huge shift of the population, especially to the U.S., a lot of us are being called back there because it's time to connect back to our roots.

But the land there is, it's something else.

There's really no words for how connected they are.

Like

they still actually,

this is going to sound strange, but they

fairies are a known thing there.

So not F-A-I-R-Y, F-A-E-R-I-E, fairy.

And

while the Western mindset is going to be like, oh, that's kind of ridiculous.

Like, why do they still believe in it?

Okay, exactly.

They're like, they literally said on the tour, they were like, no, not like Tinkerbells.

They're like, these fairies we have look like people.

And there's ancient legends in Ireland that go back in time.

So there's something in Ireland called the Hawthorne Tree, very, very sacred tree.

In Ireland, you will not find one person who will knock it down because that's where the fairies live.

And there's actually

one spot, a famous story, I don't know, I think this happened a few years back.

There was a Hawthorne tree that all the local farmers refused to knock down because, again, it's very sacred.

So they hired some other workers.

I don't think they were from Ireland, who was like, okay, I'll knock down the Hawthorne tree.

They knock it down and

someone, I think they've had about five deaths in the spot where the tree was knocked down.

Whoa.

It's like by a main road.

Holy crap.

So in Ireland, legends hold merit.

And I think it's easy to assume in the West we know better, but when you go to places like that, you're like, interesting.

Yes.

There's some interesting things going on in the world.

It's funny because you think of Ireland, you think of just drunk people, but there's some spiritual meaning there.

Oh, there's so much.

And I think we also have to look at why that stigma is there in Ireland and like the pain that has been caused to Ireland, which you learn when you go there.

Really?

Like, Ireland, Irish people are incredibly strong, but they've had a lot of pain.

The famines and the living off potatoes, right?

Yeah, well, that's a whole

interesting topic.

So, a lot of people would say there was no famine.

It's a very triggering topic for a lot of Irish people because, for example, what is Ireland surrounded by?

Is it water?

How can you starve if there's fish everywhere?

Hmm, that's a good point.

Yeah, there was no famine.

It was regulations that were imposed.

Oh, so they just blocked off trades?

Yeah, they were with the British.

Yeah, that's a

thing that's coming to light.

Like even growing up Irish, it wasn't really known to me.

The more research I've done, I'm like, oh, okay.

Wow.

And a lot of history I'm finding out now is kind of either made up or exaggerated that we were taught growing up.

Yeah.

And I don't,

it's like

we can only do better when we know better, you know?

So now I'm like, all right, I think it's part of my.

duty to share that wisdom now that I'm like, oh, there was no famine, you know, even though that's what we were taught in school.

And you got to be super open these days because some people people get triggered when you kind of challenge these previously taught topics.

Yeah.

And I mean, it's also hard too when you're like still googling things and you're getting conflicting information because you're like, am I doing more harm than good?

Right.

But again, it's an island.

How can people starve on an island?

Yeah.

It's such a basic thought that no one really thought of.

Right.

Like, you know, because I'm like, okay, I could see that in a huge country.

But like, from one coast of Ireland to the other is less, you can do that in three to four hours in a car.

Wow.

So it's very very small.

Interesting.

The bottom to the top,

that would probably be like six, seven.

But still, it's such a small country.

There was no famine.

Wow.

So fairies and leprechauns out there.

Yeah.

And I mean, you know, that's a whole different discussion.

But I think whether they're real or not,

how do we know love's real?

You feel it.

You have an experience with it.

And there is a collective experience with those

beings in Ireland.

Yeah, I do believe at some point there were mystical beings.

I've seen Mateus talk about giants.

Yeah.

And I mean, to be honest, with the way we treat each other, humans, why would anything that's of a higher vibration ever reveal itself?

Yeah, they probably see us as like a nuisance, right?

I mean, I think maybe this is glamorizing, but I think they're like very loving a lot of these creatures or beings.

And like, they're not going to lower themselves to the amount of hate that we kind of all hold, and even the amount of judgment.

Well, I've seen some things where it says earth is at a low vibration right now or something, right?

Yeah, well, and I think that you know, again, this goes back to so many of us are living in the past.

Like, I hear this all the time.

You can tell me if you hear this too.

Like, like, we're going back in time, like, nothing's getting better, like, things are going backwards.

Um,

yeah, because we're all living unconsciously,

you know, yeah,

it's a lot of um

self-yeah, just just what is for my highest good, not looking at like how do we evolve as a collective, right?

We got to go back to communities.

That's when I feel the best.

And now they're doing longevity studies on health, and they're saying community is the number one factor for increasing lifespan.

Interestingly enough, I agree, and I totally agree with that.

Right now, most of our interactions are via, like, I love that this is in person, yeah, um, because most of our interactions are on the screen.

And with AI, we're looking at you know a huge shift from

connection, community in person, to we're soon going to have it.

I just tried on these goggles.

Or Oculus.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Your whole world is here, but we're losing the connection to each other in that process.

And it's, so there has to be a balance act, but

you know, we don't need to be able to predict the future or be psychic to know we're headed in a dangerous direction because I just read an article that said the average American IQ dropped.

Three points, right?

Yeah.

Which is a lot.

Yes.

And

we don't even have that much AI yet.

Like,

what's going to happen when your paper is being written just as you're looking at it?

And like, you, you know, you forget to connect to the earth.

You,

we've lost the heart of like what it means to be human.

Well, they're not teaching critical thinking anymore.

Yeah.

They're teaching memorization.

Well, that too.

And even then, you may not need even that.

You can just throw it into the computer.

Why would I need a calculator anymore?

Why do I need anything?

I don't even know that many people who carry around a physical book.

It's like on your Kindle now.

But we've lost touch with just things that are actually like tangible.

Yeah, that connection is super important as humans, right?

I think it is.

And I mean, I think I heard someone say this.

I think it was RFK said recently that nature is a mystical experience and we're just detaching from, yeah, the things that bring us back to our spiritual path.

Like, if you really meditate, you will have an experience that's more profound than anything AI could ever show you.

But so many of us are afraid of what we're going to find when we go inwards that it's easier to keep distracting.

So we get that little nudge of like, oh, but no, but look at this new thing that I can do.

But

I don't know.

Don't you believe that like you could create something even more magnificent?

Shiny object syndrome, right?

And attention spans are dropping, so it's getting harder to meditate for people.

Yeah, and I even saw, like, I did a meditation actually with the Oculus.

Really?

Yes.

And it was interesting, but like, my internal being was never at peace.

And I thought that was interesting.

Like, okay, I'm seeing everything that looks like a real meditation.

This feels like I'm hearing the birds.

I'm feeling everything.

But something within me is saying, no, come back, come back here.

And I think we're going to start.

My prediction is that we're going to see a huge correction in one direction.

And what we can each do, my belief, is keep coming back and holding that while we see this correction.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I wonder how spirit feels about AI.

I think it is AI.

Oh, what?

Yeah.

You think spirit is AI?

Well, I think it's everything.

Okay.

So,

but it waits for us to correct it.

So, you know, it's kind of like a teenager just, you know,

experimenting in some way.

Your parent has to correct you.

And I think there's not as many of us aware of like how to hold the,

you know, the ground when we're having this huge change in society.

Right.

So my suggestion would be keep coming back within before you look to other things.

Yeah, it's a scary time right now.

Do you ever talk to your future self and just ask them about what's going on right now and what the message is?

Yeah, what I always hear is earth.

Like, earth cries every time.

Like, I've had this,

it's kind of a sad meditation, but one day I was meditating and I just saw the whole world basically.

And this is not from the Akashic.

I just want to be clear.

I just saw the whole world basically destroyed.

Like it was gone.

And what my soul asked me was, if this was the, if this is what's going to happen, would you still do what you're doing?

And my answer was yes.

And that's how I knew on a soul level, I was doing the right thing, the right work that would fulfill me because no matter what happens, I feel like, yes, no matter what happens, I'll feel like I played a part that I'm proud of.

And in that, it was like, then keep coming back to the earth.

Keep spreading the message of the earth.

Like, you know, we're creating these toys.

but look at our planet we're making species extinct every single year 23 went extinct last year holy crap um They somewhere I read something, which mostly was like bacteria or fungi, but like up to 10,000 species can go extinct almost every year.

Jeez.

And I'm like, I don't even know how that's possible, but who knows?

You know, but yeah, 23 last year.

Look at our waters.

Like if you go to the ocean, you're going to find trash in it.

You know,

why can't we take care of what we have before we keep

jumping to the next thing?

Yeah, super scary.

And World War III is definitely a possibility these days.

Hopefully not, but you never know.

I think, again, it's just

holding a vision where,

like, what, you know, for you, what's the world you want to see?

I could just be basic and say peace, but I mean

just fostering innovation and like furthering humanity.

You know, I want every generation to be better than the last, spiritually, physically.

You know, we should be evolving, not going backwards.

The lifespan is dropping right now instead of going up.

Yeah, and what do you think is needed for that?

The problem is, these companies are so large now, they have so much influence, so they don't care about health issues.

So they'll just launch a product and then, oh, it's just like a legal bill they see it as like harming people, causing disease.

So something needs to happen there.

So would you say that more, like going back to your work, the word you used earlier, community, like connectivity between

like the masses, basically?

yeah yeah if we can go back to local communities where we're growing our own food having our own teacher teachers like teach the kids like that would do so much because if everyone gets healthy that would put a lot of big evil companies out of business yeah i i agree with that now the question is is like yeah how do we um create that and to me it's more i feel like

The answer to me is coming back to the earth.

And what I mean by that is like, once you realize like, oh, I'm connected to literally everything around me, like, there's nothing I'm separated from.

All of a sudden, you're like, oh, I don't need to keep thinking about me, just getting to the next step in my corporate job, that this, this, this, this.

You come back to

this planet's failing.

Like, if

I might not be able to shift things, but I can start, and then maybe that will spread to others too.

Wow, so you think it's failing right now?

The whole planet?

I think there's a lot that's failing.

In what sense?

You know, just even in the U.S., if you look at, I don't, and I don't want to be like pessimistic because, of course, there's so many people doing amazing work.

Yeah.

But I mean, if you, I guess I can speak more to the U.S.

You know, you have a school shooting yesterday.

It's not even like the top of the headline today because it's fast news.

And there was one in Nashville last year, too.

Yeah.

then you have, I think it's half of all kids are facing obesity in the U.S.

I don't think that's a

something's not working.

It's terrible.

You know?

Half the kids, us kids are so innocent and they don't even know they're being poisoned.

And I don't even think parents know that they're, it's like no one knows.

I think that's the problem too.

We all think we're, people innately want to do what's right and people want to do what's best.

But like,

if we can't trust the places that we're getting it from,

what are we supposed to do?

You know, we become educated, but then things become more expensive the more educated you are as well, because you're like, wow, I can't even shop here.

I can't even, and then it becomes a money problem of like, oh, no, I'm not getting,

I can't take time off, I'm sick, I can't do this.

Like, the systems are failing.

So, not the world, like, I want to backtrack on that.

The systems are failing.

Yeah.

And it creates a disempowerment in the average person

that's a good point though you do need a safety net of wealth to do what you want to do right you can't just have no money now with that said i'll go back to like when i felt that calling to go to asia i had no money i had i had no my safety net was i knew that i had people who loved me and of course they would give me a place to sleep if i needed it right um but other than that there was no safety net.

The safety net came from within of knowing like

well,

I want to experiment.

Like, let's go try this.

Let's see what actually happens if you experiment and play around with the universe.

Yeah.

But when you have families, I know I wouldn't have felt that way because you're responsible for other people.

Right.

So

it's coming back to, for me, at least, advocating for,

yeah, the world to change.

A lot of people are doing that.

Yeah.

No, it's cool to see.

I think there is a spiritual evolution taking place right now.

Yes, I think so too.

I mean, the masses have definitely, like, there's been a huge shift, I think.

More people are becoming conscious.

And yeah, things are just spreading like

in a good way.

But I also think it's sometimes harder to spread things because some platforms don't want you to spread it.

Oh, yeah.

I just got banned on TikTok two days ago.

And you had it back, right?

Got it back for now.

But yeah, with Tulsi Gabbard.

Just for, and she's on a watch list.

I mean, I don't want to get too political, but it's just crazy

people are being watched like that for voicing their opinion.

Yeah.

And I mean, I, for me, I just always come back to that internal knowing.

Like, if this is what I'm meant to be talking about, it'll get put back.

It'll come back.

Absolutely.

I just have to keep trusting that and keep letting it flow through.

Rita, where could people learn from you, get a reading, and go on one of your tours?

My website is ritaallenmerchandani.com.

And yeah, you can absolutely learn more about the Akashic Records on my website.

But you can also, just like from anyone listening, I encourage you to be

to experiment.

Try it for yourself.

Don't believe anyone else.

Just what is the experience I have as I asked to connect to this?

Because I do believe if we all were more connected on soul levels, magical things would continue to happen.

Absolutely.

We'll link your socials below and website.

Thanks so much for coming on.

Thank you so much for having me.

Absolutely.

Thanks for watching, guys.

As always, that was an important episode.

Hope you liked it, and I'll see you next time.
