All over the internet these days there are mentions of Akashic Records Readings and the power those sessions can hold for individuals, but what are the Akashic Records really and how are they meant to help us?

When I first heard the term Akashic Records, I saw in my mind a large library style room with long rows of filing cabinets and mist floating thickly around.
