Learning to Live Inside-Out

Living inside-out means learning to trust your inner truth more than external authority. Through her journey with the Akashic Records, Cheryl Marlene shares how releasing dependence on others allowed her to discover resonance within—and live from her soul’s deepest knowing.

In: Field Notes

Learning to live inside-out sounds a bit odd at first. Let me explain.

I’ve been working with the Akashic Records for over 20 years and in that time, I’ve learned so much about myself.

One of the biggest changes in my life has been what I call the shift to inside-out — instead of outside-in.

In the beginning of my journey, as I began to explore the spiritual side of my life, I looked outside of myself for guidance.

I read a ton of great books. I went to cool workshops.

In the process I found some great guidance and I came across some truly bad advice.

Interestingly, it was from those funky corners that I got some of my best learning.

Why? Because in coming to terms with what wasn’t for me, I had to look inside myself to find what resonated and what worked.

Instead of staying dependent on someone else’s truth, I had to look inside me for my truth.

So instead of outside-in, I began living my life inside-out – meaning I began looking inside of myself for understanding and truth and then living out there in the world from this perspective.

When I first learned about the Akashic Records, what most surprised me was that the process of an Akashic Record Reading helped me with this inside-out process.

I wasn’t being told what to do.

Instead, the guidance in the Reading was helping me discover truth within so that not only was I in charge of my life, I felt empowered to choose my path and its trajectory for myself.

Thus both life experience and experience in the Akashic Records has helped m make this fundamental shift.

No longer dependent on outside authority, I find my truth inside of me.

Vulnerable Absorption
Pathway to Becoming

Vulnerable Absorption

Accused of perfectionism, the author reclaims the label through a new lens — vulnerable absorption. Through openness, focus, and gratitude, perfectionism transforms into wholehearted learning. Life becomes a journey not of flawlessness, but of living fully in the present moment.
The Entirety of Self
Pathway to Presence

The Entirety of Self

Exploring the self isn’t about chasing idealized parts like the higher or true self. It’s about recognizing the continuum of being — the entirety of self that already exists as wholeness. When we release the labels, we rediscover the completeness that has always been within us.

The Spiritual Power of Agreements

Integrity lives through agreements. Whether kept, shifted, or broken, each reveals how you align with truth and responsibility. Agreements teach spiritual maturity through clarity, courage, and conscious communication.
