简要总结
The goal of this clinical study is to learn the impact of two Akashic Records sessions on mental health symptoms in adults. We want to see how sessions are linked to stress, anxiety, and depression, and to resilience (ability to bounce back) and feelings of connectedness (to self, community, and humanity).
Main questions this study will answer are:
After two sessions, what is the impact on stress, anxiety, and depression? After two sessions, what is the impact on resilience and connectedness? How do participants describe their experience of the sessions? After two sessions, what are participants' views of their problems (insight), emotional experiences (impact) and observable behaviors in their daily life?
What participants will do:
Complete online surveys about their mood at four points: before the first session, before the second session, after the second session, and again 2 months later.
Surveys include:
DASS-21 (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale) CD-RISC-10 (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale) WATTS (Connectedness Scale) A short demographic form and satisfaction survey
Attend two individual Akashic Records sessions (50-90 minutes each) over private video platform with a licensed clinical social worker (principal investigator) The first 50 participants will also join a one-hour interview with open ended questions with a licensed clinical social worker (co-investigator) about one week after the second session to share their experience in their own words.
Who can take part:
Adults ages 18 and older who can read and consent in English and who have experienced stress, anxiety, or low mood in the past year.
How the research will happen:
Sessions are held by secure video call. Participants will also complete private online surveys before, during, and after the sessions. Some participants may be invited to share their experiences in a one-on-one interview. All information is kept private and names are removed before analysis.
Risks and benefits:
Talking about personal topics may bring up strong emotions. Licensed clinicians conduct sessions, offer support, and provide referrals if needed.
Possible benefits include new insights, greater peace or meaning, and improved coping; benefits are not guaranteed.
Why this matters:
Many people seek spiritual or transpersonal support for emotional concerns. This pilot study will provide early evidence on whether Akashic Records sessions may be a helpful, low-risk option and will guide future research.
详细描述
The study aims to address the following research question: How do Akashic Records sessions impact mental health as evidenced by changes in self-reported stress, anxiety, and depression, and changes in resilience and connectedness?
This study is a single-arm, mixed-methods, exploratory pilot trial designed to evaluate the effects of Akashic Records sessions on mental health outcomes. The intervention consists of two individual sessions (one 90 minutes and one 50 minutes) delivered virtually by a licensed clinical social worker trained in Akashic Records channeling.
All participants are assigned to the same intervention arm consisting of two Akashic Records sessions; the study does not include randomization or a control/comparator group. To reduce potential confounding, participants are instructed to notify the research team of any changes in their mental health care or spiritual practices during the study period. They are also asked to maintain stability in their usual activities within these domains to support interpretability of pre-post outcomes.
The sessions follow a standardized structure to ensure reproducibility. Each session begins with an opening procedure that includes a brief Akashic prayer and a short reflection period for intention-setting. During the channeling process, the clinician conveys impressions received through intuitive modalities such as imagery (clairvoyance), auditory impressions (clairaudience), empathic resonance (clairsentience), and cognitive impressions (claircognizance). Information is verbalized in real time, and participants are invited to reflect, ask questions, and engage in dialogue to deepen integration. The clinician provides empathic support and reflective listening but does not apply structured psychotherapeutic interventions. Sessions conclude with a structured summary, identification of participant takeaways, and a formal closing statement.
The primary focus is on changes in validated clinical scales: the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), and the WATTS Connectedness Scale. Assessments are collected at four timepoints: baseline (T0), prior to the second session (T1), after the second session (T2), and 60 days following the intervention (T3).

研究组 & 干预措施
Akashic Records Session Arm
All participants receive two Akashic Records sessions: one 90-minute session and one 50-minute session, delivered virtually by a licensed clinician. Participants also complete validated clinical scales at baseline, post-session, and 60-day follow-up.
干预措施: Akashic Records Session (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
DASS-21 (Depression, Anxiety, Stress) Clinical Scale
时间窗: T0: Baseline and 7 days before 1st session (Session #1 is within 30 days of prescreen). T1: No more than 7 days before 2nd session (Session #2 is 10-21 days after 1st). T2: Within 7-14 days after 2nd session. T3: Within 60-80 days after 2nd session
Change in participant self-reported depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms as measured by the DASS-21 (Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale - 21 items). The DASS-21 has three subscales (Depression, Anxiety, Stress), each ranging from 0-42. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity. Scores are calculated by summing responses (0 = "did not apply to me at all" to 3 = "applied very much/most of the time") and multiplying by two for comparability with the original 42-item scale. Analysis will compare baseline to post-intervention values across timepoints. The DASS-21 will be given to participants at 4 time points during the study.
