Akashic Records Community Message
Boundary systems are discoveries. The resonance of who you are, right now, speaks with curiosity (like two voices speaking in syncopation). The speech of curiosity & resonance of your soul in your body sings like two partners on a mission of justice & authority. This is not to be rushed or overlooked or bypassed. This process is a major gift of embodiment that all have access to.
You need boundaries because you are working your soul’s journey by forging a path to walk on. This boundary practice is like setting to the side extra brush or impediments; these items all benefit from your presence & space moving them. It is an exchange when you create boundaries; how you take up space in your body, with your soul’s path unfolding, is directly in relationship with everything & everyone around you. Everything & everyone around you benefits from your own boundary system.
This may not flow out in harmony, from a human standing point, however, there is always harmony in the larger picture because the dances on the subtle or minutiae levels make up this whole picture. There are many aspects of embodiment far, far from your bodily space of belonging that are in need of the action & placement of your need for space & action of creating boundaries.
You create boundaries by allowing the vibration of your voice & the kinesthetics of your embodied soul to flow out of you, into the world. Saying no is as beautiful as saying yes. The judgment of human facades makes it seem otherwise. However, we encourage you to see this in a new way. A no is knowing; a yes is satiating. When a yes is no longer satiating, that is a call for introspection & curious consideration. We ask you, then, to ask yourself, “what is really happening here & what now do I need to change about my boundary?”
You know your no & your yes. We want you to know that you know. And if you don’t know, wait. Waiting to know is a major part of boundaries. Your know comes before your no and your yes. Be willing to make others wait. You may see discomfort or changes. Trust. Be with what comes in this process. You are cherished beyond what you can comprehend & are at once, a part of that same cherishing.
On Boundaries
Boundaries protect our wants and needs. They protect what we need to have protected and they allow our vulnerability to be safely shared, when we choose to share it.
Being in alignment with saying no brings life to our yes.
Having boundaries means taking responsibility of our human and soul space in this embodied experience.
Having boundaries means knowing what a free floating belief of others is.
Having boundaries means we do not have to suffer through abuse, however soft or harsh it may be.
Having boundaries means embracing our own value and preciousness, from within, and protecting this, with self-honor and self-respect.
Having boundaries means we are in an active partnership with ourselves.
Having boundaries means we get to have our reality and let others have theirs.
Have boundaries is amazing!!
You are invited to join us on March 13th for a group guided healing meditation. The experience will include the following:
-a brief education about boundaries
-gentle body movement to get in our bodies and invite an energy flow
-a guided healing meditation designed around the theme of boundaries.
We will ground and clear. You will receive a recording if you join. 3/13/21 6pmPST, one hour.
See you there!! Visit our upcoming events page to secure your spot.
Learning To Love Ourselves
The intention offered with all the sessions is to enlighten a new way of self-acceptance and healthy pride in one’s organismic truth so you can love yourself in your wholeness and go on to bring the relational healing and the “how to” into their relationship with yoursself, a power greater than human will (which we are all a part of within) and with others.
Heart-Peace Healing offers Compassion Inquiry, Transpersonal Energy Healing, Akashic Healings, Akashic Integration & Akashic Intuitive Guidance. Free 20min consultation conversations for anyone curious or with questions. All sessions with me, Leigh.
Thank you for being here. Bless.
Honoring Is A Form of Love
Design by OMAYARI | Leigh Aschoff
Honoring (a form of love) our sorrow is an essential part of connecting with our joy. _How_ each of us does that is entirely unique.
There is no one “one size fits all” solution in healing.
The answers are your own wisdom, in your own body which is your space of belonging and the space in which your soul dwells.
Boundaries Protect Our Wants and Needs
Double Exposure by Leigh Aschoff | Leigh Aschoff
BOUNDARIES PROTECT OUR WANTS AND NEEDS. That protection is both intellectual and energetic (knowing and embodied sensing). Our auric space is sacred. When we do the work to be clear on what is a “no”, we get to experience more clearly what a genuine, authentic “yes” is. This includes GIVING and SHARING and the source of this, when authentic, is generative and resonant in all directions of the exchange. Know your no. Preserve and protect your sacred space. Be curious and see what your yes energy is like and what it syncopates with.
I shot this double exposure on film in Ojai, CA.

Staying with Self
So much can be discovered about how we tend to abandon ourselves by offering a lot of curious attention on how we already do stay with ourselves. Knowing the sensation of “being with ourselves” in our bodies can help us know what is not that (“leaving oneself”).
“Leaving self” can show up as spending time with people you do not actually enjoy being around, saying yes to doing favors or work for people who do not appreciate you, allowing others to talk over you and not addressing that boundary violation, energetically moving out of your body at certain times and/or disconnecting from your own wants and needs and living without honoring your truth and your desires, et cetera.
Join me in honoring the spiritual and human practice of “being with self” and in that process being witness to what situations or relationships draw you away from yourself.
Akashic Record readings and Akashic Intuitive Guidance offer incredible insight and tools to support the process of “being with self”. I am elated to soon be offering Transpersonal Energy Healing sessions which is another incredible way to unearth parts of ourselves that are ready to be seen and integrated.
Thank you for being a part of my contribution and also a part of my life journey. Thank you for being here.

Relearning How To Be Ourselves Honestly
Images and Collage by Leigh Aschoff | OMAYARI
So much of healing and spiritual practices are remembering and relearning how to be ourselves honestly.
As we do our spiritual healing work within our own willingness and time, we ignite a larger flame of our essence and tend to what this light reveals within us. These forgotten and dismembered parts seem to keep a line open to our body even though they found home in our subconscious.
As we practice and do our spiritual work, it is natural to become attached to seeing the full picture of ourselves as we heal or perhaps a desire to be aware of it all as it is happening. Is it possible?
Sometimes that type of contraction devolves into a surrendering expansion that dwells more in sentience than intellect or will.
Staying with ourself throughout the process of being alive is truly an incredible path. It is actually very challenging to stay aligned with oneself constantly while also participating in being breathed by creative forces so much larger than us. And this is another aspect of the paradox: holding and letting go, both wedded by a “yes and”, as well as a willingness to receive along the way.
I made this image for open eye meditation. The collage process involves a lot of what I describe here and it’s something I enjoy very much as running a strong parallel journey to spiritual, emotional and intellectual maturing (karmic lessons and soul learning).
The Quest for Connection
Image and Design by Leigh Aschoff | OMAYARI
Do you ever find yourself in a quest for connection that seems like a dissatisfying loop? I do. I went into my records for insight. See below. ✨
Message from the Akashic Records:
Look inside yourself. When you find yourself in an outward loop or spiral of questing it may seem that nothing satiates your desire for connection. If you seek outside first, without coming from a place of inner connection first, it will be a vapid hunt without sufficient digestible meetings or outcomes.
Relax more into your own body and cultivate a sense of connection with the relationship you have with yourself. How do you get to know yourself more throughout your embodied life? Do that and refine it as you learn and grow.
Connection without is as connection is within.
It is all your path, whichever position you find yourself in. The gentleness you can show yourself is a tool of the highest caliber because that is a resonance that comes from you, for you; it is you, as you and also as the Divine flowing through you.
Get to know this seat of relaxation within yourself. It can be very challenging and lonely sometimes so expect this too. When you can become familiar with this sea of relaxation, your soul can be in the driver’s seat and this is a truly glorious ride. The aim is not soul always driving; it is more that you get to know how to manage your own system in all the ways it operates.
What a gift to explore this and it is so vast, there is always more for you!
Open to your own curious heart and let that part of you dialogue with your body and your mind.
Connection is self-awareness and realization of the paradox of embodiment. You are exactly where you need to be. We are encouraging you forever and always with our presence and vision of the imperfectly perfect stance of you at all times.
When Self-Love is Gnar
Collage & Images by Leigh Aschoff | OMAYARI
Sometimes the most loving thing we can do for ourselves is to accept ourselves.
How do you love yourself when you are uncomfortable, challenged, triggered, and/or in the familiar karmic briar patch?
How do you accept yourself when you find you have left yourself in some way or when you begin to unearth new truths about yourself?
I believe there are precise parts of ourselves that only we can tend to for true satiation. These areas mark the path of our soul’s healing journey. Other people or things placed upon these areas act only as a temporary relief.
It is easy to choose distraction as a way of relief, or even to ask or hope that others will love us (so we don’t have to go within and do some of the gnarly work ourselves).
This is natural because some of this terrain can be overwhelming, dark (as in trying to love yourself when you cannot see parts of yourself clearly [yet]) and painful to make contact with.
Having what Alice Miller calls an “enlightened witness” (therapist, healing practitioner, mentor) and what Chögyam Trungpa calls a “spiritual friend” is incredibly helpful to this process as is cultivating an inner enlightened witness / spiritual friend / inner loving parent.
The spiritual work of self love can be incredibly gnarly. It can feel like the tip of a pin in the present moment, full of breath and just being in our own discomfort from one moment to the next. Learning to tolerate discomfort in ourselves and accept ourselves through these times is powerful work that I believe is incredibly valuable for us as a human tribe.
Akashic Intuition
Designed by Leigh Aschoff | OMAYARI
Sometimes I love to create magazine covers. I made this one last summer inspired by the Akashic Records, Intuitive Healing and Akashic Intuitive Guidance.
The Akashic Records reflect to us images and messages from a realm of unconditional love. From the view of the records, all that happens in our embodied life is perfect in all it’s imperfections and all is happening for the evolution and growth of our soul.
Intuitive Healing addresses the energy body and in that process teaches us the energy mechanics of self love. To know how our energy body works and to honor it’s existence with attention, love and practice is a way to respect ourselves as embodied souls.
Akashic Intuitive Guidance is a blend of an Akashic Record reading and Intuitive Healing. These sessions prepare your system to receive the messages from your Akashic Records and offer a healing fine tuned to what you bring to work on and/or what is revealed during the reading.
All of these healing modalities support us to be fluent in our energy body language and in the messages from the Akashic Records.
Book a session with me through my website (link in bio) or reach out with any additional questions! I look forward to the possibility of working with you.

Capricorn New Moon Akashic Message
Ask yourself what you know of yourself. Sit with your soul. Sit with your body. Be grounded as one with the earth beneath you. Let your breath fall to the frequency of soil. Let the frequency of the soil align with your cells and your heart beat. Drop down deep into your body. Invite your consciousness to soften and anchor your entire being. Keep this and be aware of a gentle opening of connection at the crown of your head. You are connected. Honor your feeling states below, in your heart and around your voice and mind. See yourself opening up to your own experience and be a witness without judging. Lean back and allow your current state to settle, to relax; allow your current state of being to be held by your own awareness. Rest in this incredible gift of opportunity to be here, with yourself, with this awareness. Allow for a creation of flow through your system, through your body. Invite your soul to expand and contract around the vicinity of your physical body. Invite earth and sky energy to commingle with your soul. As you breathe, relax. As you relax, let go. As you let go, receive. Sink into your spiritual heart and rest your focal point of awareness here.
You create safety in your physical and auric space when you practice accepting, present relationship with yourself. Rest in this inner sanctuary of you. Spend time here in this space that is your traveling domain of physical and energetic belonging. Your body is like bellows and your soul delights in this inner focus. Your soul’s contact with your body on the earth, by way of your consciousness, creates a path of safety and peace from within.
Honoring Grief and Discomfort During the Holidays
The holidays invite us into our heart chakra. It is a season that comes with expectations of joy yet activation of grief for so many. Both joy and grief are powers of the heart chakra.
How do you drop your awareness down into your heart space?
How do you honor what is active in your heart chakra?
How does grief show up for you during the holiday season?
What do you need to honor your process of grieving?
How can you best care for yourself during the holiday season?
How can you best care for and attune to your inner child’s needs during the holiday season?
Boundaries are important. We have the right to go slow. We have the right to create space for ourselves. We have the right to our grief process. We have the right to not be joyful if we are not joyful. We have the right to say no.
Allow for a moment your mental energy to soften; allow your brain and thinking mind to relax. Bring your awareness and breath to slowly drop down into your heart space.
What is there that asks to be honored?
Align with your inner loving witness in the space of your spiritual heart. From this vantage point within your heart, you are aligned with an eternal flow of grace and unconditional love. Let this space be the focal point of your awareness and breath. Look out from here to witness the joy and grief in your heart.
As you align with your inner loving witness see your joy and grief with grace and allow for both to be, exactly as they are, without any fuss for change, adaptation or judgement. Breathe and allow the prana in your breath to flow through your grief, your joy and your entire system.
Affirmations:
I have the right to be here, just as I am.
I have the right to all my feelings.
I have the right to say no.
I have the right to create space for myself.
I have the right to stay connected to my core.
May all beings find self-acceptance and connect with a power larger then themselves that they can truly relax into.
Actively honoring grief and joy,
Leigh
Please note: The process of deepening a heart connection can be challenging. I am not bypassing the challenges some of us face with feeling and with being willing to discover what is there. Reach out to a healing practitioner, therapist or trusted friend or community member if you need support.
Writing Prompts to Honor Yourself in 2020
I am not that big on new year resolutions since I believe setting intentions is an intuitive process based on context, wants and needs, as they flow into being throughout life. How could one predict what intention would be best and worthy of lasting for an entire calendar year?!?!
I do love end of year reflection and this year I wrote questions with an intention to honor oneself throughout the karmic lessons, wounds, gifts, new tools, accepting oneself, the challengers in our lives and the helpers experienced this year.
I hope you enjoy answering these questions as much as I have. Answer the questions privately or join together with a trusted friend and share your insights together.
Saturn + Jupiter
May contraction and expansion dance like lovers howling with conscious delight at the curious nature of the frustration and pleasure inherent in their different paths to the same destination.

Visual Curiosity Inquiries
In honor of my last piece on learning and healing I created these visual curiosity inquiries. I hope they will guide you to your own truth in a way that serves you right now. Bless. ✨
Learning and Healing
As a wellness practitioner, I am equally passionate about learning and healing.
The Akashic Records invite us to learn to see ourselves from the vantage point of unconditional love. The messages that come through during a reading encourage us to see our human lives guided by our soul’s path. Learning to integrate these perspectives into our daily lives is incredibly healing.
Intuitive Healing invites us to be fluent in the language of our energy bodies. Through inner energetic inquiry and curiosity we discover how our energy bodies have been re-shaped by our experiences and how we can choose (!) to change/grow/evolve ourselves, as we are called to (need for transformation/expansion into conscious wholeness via integration).
Akashic Intuitive Guidance prepares your consciousness, heart and energy system for the Akashic insights that come through. This unique blend of healing modalities invites us to learn how to integrate (take in and assimilate) unconditional love, the presence of our soul (in our body), the language of our energy bodies and how to work with what we have actively going (human experience / karmic lessons / archetypal wounding / et cetera).
What are you currently learning that is simultaneously healing for you?
How do you learn to heal yourself?
What environments (relationships) show you where you can learn / heal more?
Why do you want to learn / heal more?
How does learning feel in your body?
How does healing feel in your body?
You are an exquisite creature full of mystery and power. Thank you for being exactly who you are and for walking the path necessary to be truly y o u.

Psychic Kin
Psychic kin come and go, and though cherished, are not fixed and predictable.
image by OMAYARI
If you have attempted to fit whatever mold and failed to do so, you are probably lucky. You may be an exile of some sort, but you have sheltered your soul. There is an odd phenomenon that happens when one keeps trying to fit and fails. Even though the outcast is driven away, she is at the same time driven right into the arms of her psychic and true kin, whether these be a course of study, an art form, or a group of people. It is worse to stay where one does not belong at all than to wander about lost for a while and looking for the psychic and soulful kinship one requires. It is never a mistake to search for what one requires. Never.
There is something useful in all this torque and tension. Something in the duckling is being tempered, being made strong by this exile. While this situation is not one we would wish on anyone for any reason, its effect is similar to pure natural carbon under pressure producing diamonds... - Clarissa Pinkola Estes
I like this. Some days this feels true. Other days it seems dramatic and based in magical thinking.
For me, it is clear that there is no magical psychic kin... (wouldn’t that be suggesting some sort of utopian community?). No community / friend / family member or partner can be “on demand”. This is part of the work of the individual - to look to one’s own ability to cultivate inner loving parents and connect with Divine energy as needed. Psychic kin come and go, and though cherished, are not fixed and predictable.
The only utopian community I see is the one we have been given - our own bodies, our own energetic and biological systems. And the aim is not perfection!! The utopia is in the opportunities that lie in each imbalance, block and flaw (and the gifts that mirror these) - all of us have a unique system in this way.
Part of healing from self-abandonment can be deepening our connection to ourselves (the gestalt of our being) by way of language fluency of our energy body, remembering our neuro-biological nature and by inquiring into our soul responsibilities.
To live in surrender is to be open to what is present on this day and in this moment and to dance / relate with curiosity, with that.
