Akashic Records Energy Update May 2026
Below are some key themes regarding the energetics of May 2026 that I received from the collective Akashic Records, together with some self-reflection/Akashic Records questions you can use to help you navigate these in alignment.
As always, take what resonates and leave what does not.
Etheric Body Upgrade
There is a huge increase in the incoming spiritualising energies from the Sun (a.k.a Light Codes). This is normal during a mass awakening period (which we are currently in) and is essentially an upgrade for the etheric body. The upgrade received by the etheric body will work to upgrade/activate the physical form through our DNA.
As this takes place, you may feel that your nervous system is dysregulated/root chakra imbalanced. If you feel this, take time to ground, connect to Earth and connect to the body. This will help you anchor in the upgrade available at this time.
New abilities and new guides
A consequence of this etheric body upgrade, you may find that you have new abilities emerging. You may find yourself channelling Light Language, receiving new modalities to be brought forward for the collective and an increase in past life memories coming through, especially those whilst ‘off Earth.’
It is also common at this time for new guides to step forward, especially those connected to those ‘off Earth’ incarnations.
This can be a very exciting time but please always remember your discernment when it comes to new guides and grounding and embodiment when it comes to anchoring in the new abilities.
Revisit and Realign
Reflect upon what can stay in your life and what needs to be let go of at this time. You are going through a metamorphosis and that means that things that once felt in alignment to your soul may no longer feel aligned. Friendships that once felt aligned may fall away, jobs that you once loved may now feel stagnant. Being in alignment with your soul and its soul purpose means allowing the changes to happen. Grieving where necessary but not clinging or staying stuck. New aspects of your soul’s purpose are being activated at this time and it is important that you allow this take place.
Truth and authenticity
These are key themes for the month of May. We all know that in our modern day and age, finding Truth amongst the miasma of untruths and half-truths is difficult. This is where your spiritual practice comes in and why attuning to that internal technology is so important. This internal technology is going to help you feel into what resonates and strengthen your power of discernment.
By living in alignment to this Truth, received by your Soul, in alignment with your Soul’s Purpose, you operate in the frequency of true authenticity, rather than letting the ego take over.
Empath exhaustion
Whilst everyone will be able to receive these incoming Light Codes, not everyone will be open to receiving them. For those of you who are empaths, not only will you be receiving the Light Codes for yourself, but you may find yourself absorbing those Codes for those around you who are not open to receiving them. Your etheric body will only use what is needed but it can feel energetically overwhelming to absorb these additional energies. You may also find yourself experiencing heightened Ascension Symptoms, which you can learn more about here.
Shadow Work around desires
What do you truly want in this life? What desires have been trying to come through but you have not allowed them? Perhaps you have completely repressed them or deny that they are there because you have decided they are ‘unspiritual’ or ‘not allowed’ for whatever reason.
Your desires can be amazing tools for learning, but you have to recognise that they are there firstly and then understand what it is they are teaching you. This can be uncomfortable work, but it is so beneficial, especially if you are feeling disconnected from your creative and intuitive energy.
SELF-REFECLTIONS/AKASHIC RECORDS QUESTION TO HELP
The questions offered below can be used in your own self-reflection practice, or in your own Akashic Records practice.
What can I do to support my body at this time of energetic upgrades?
How does my soul purpose want to be expressed through me at this time?
What spiritual practices will be most supportive for me in connecting into the new abilities?
How can I better let go and allow the transformation within to take place more smoothly?
How can I better align to, and receive guidance from, my Soul?
SUMMARY
The energetics of May are expansive and challenging. Taking care to connect into your body and allowing yourself to be guided by it is essential during these times. Be kind to yourself and allow what needs to be released to go.
