Akashic Records Community Message
Now is a good time for resting mind and sinking into sensory heart space. Allow your mental awareness to soften in a gentle space of heart.
Sense your heart’s fullness
Gently inquire to the parameter of your heart’s capacity for love
Rest, relax, receive
Breathe into your heart and invite a love to flow through heart
into your entire system
with kindness
with gentleness
with a healing balm of presence
Invite your energy to taste this and relax
Invite yourself to sit with yourself and feast on this experience of heart.
Heart expanded as a way of healing self with gentleness and love.
May you be aware of your heart’s capacity to expand with every breath,
with every beat - the pulse of love, embodied, as you.
Portraits with Leigh Aschoff: Honoring Your Human Heart and Soul Radiance
I am officially opening my schedule for portraits again! I offer a unique process that honors your human heart and soul radiance.
Resonant and powerful transformation occurs when joining visual needs with truth and creativity in an empathic, listening, intuitive space.
The process is simple and deep with intention. The images resonate in a way that connects with your heart and soul.
This process is ultimately creative yet also healing and transforming. Intentional, supportive space invites your soul to step forward to be celebrated and seen. I offer creative collaboration in a way that goes beyond a typical photo shoot.
The process is founded on an empathic, listening conversation that allows space for you to explore what is true for you and to be seen in your truth. The images birthed from this resonate with your intention and become visual tokens of meaning,
As an intuitive artist, I weave deep listening, creativity and the presence of soul to yield an intuitive path for people to be who they truly are and have images to reflect this.
My work is oriented to serve people who are interested in having an empowering transformative experience while expanding visually in the world in an authentic way. I collaborate with people to create resonant imagery in a sacred space of soul, intention and support.
I will be on the east coast for the summer. To begin a conversation about a portrait session, please contact me through my website and set up a consultation.
Update: Name Change
Please note I will be lovingly detaching from using the word OMAYARI for my business and services. It was brought to my attention that my use of the word is cultural appropriation. After considering this, I realize it is.
This change was brought about from a conversation I had with a colleague who brought this to my attention. I am grateful to this person and the conversation we had because it has helped me to see something I was not seeing before. It also is an experience that invites me to step further into clean relations with others and with the world. It is a sincere intention of mine as a person and as a healing practitioner to have clean relations with people and the world as much as possible.
Though this change is not happening because of a direct report or confrontation of insult or injury, I do want to step forward and state that I apologize for any harm my choice to use OMAYARI as my business name may have caused to anyone.
Person-centered healing is a Rogerian approach to all the readings and sessions I offer. This is inspired by Carl Rogers who practiced client-centered therapy, as a therapist, which is a humanistic approach to healing. This style of healing highlights genuineness, unconditional positive regard and empathy.
This approach is very important to me as a healing practitioner both in regard to business model and especially when honoring the wisdom within each human being as the way to healthy transformation in consciousness, heart-connection and embodiment.
Person-centered healing is the style in which I offer the techniques and modalities I am trained in (Akashic Record Readings, Akashic Intuitive Guidance and Transpersonal Energy Healing).
Thank you to everyone connected to me in all the ways you are. I am grateful that life provides continuous opportunities for me to learn, change, see my mistakes, be open, be honest and share.
Sincerely,
Leigh Aschoff

Clairsentience and Heart
Click here to watch the recording!
Hello! I am going live tomorrow to talk a little bit about Clairsentience and Heart. This is a preface and share about what we will be doing this Sunday in HEART SENSING HEART, the meditation healing I am offering on zoom at 6pmPST.
For this free talk on IG, I will have my Akashic Records open and I welcome you to join the call live with any questions you may have. You can also DM me with questions in advance if you cannot make it live.
Clairsentience is one facet of intuition. In the most simple way, this intuitive state of being is SENSING CLEARLY. I will share more about my take on this during the talk. This type of intuition is often linked to empathy, empathic being and empaths. I will also share my view of this, as a healing practitioner.
This Sunday’s meditation healing is one hour long. Link in bio and on my website to join. All participants receive a recording of the meditation healing.
This is beginning of a series of meditation healings with a focus on HEART PEACE. The focus will shift each month through different intuition states, each one with a centering on heart.
Thank you! I am excited to share more on this topic that I love very much.
May I Continue Being A Friend To Myself
With affirmations, we honor our own authority and the choices that grow out of this embodied, conscious alignment.
Here are a few sweet affirmations inspired by my personal dialogue in the Akashic Records in the past two months... I hope the invitations here may be supportive to you too.
May we grow to love ourselves and life in all forms more and more. ✨
May we remember we are in love, as love, and always have been. ✨
Love and Compassion
“So the main theme of the open way is that we must begin to abandon the basic struggle of ego. To be completely open, to have that kind of absolute trust in yourself is the real meaning of compassion and love.
...Perhaps this will put off a lot of people, but I am afraid love is not really the experience of beauty and romantic joy alone. Love is associated with ugliness and pain and aggression, as well as with the beauty of the world; it is not the re-creation of heaven. Love or compassion, the open path, is associated with “what is.“ In order to develop love —- universal love, cosmic love, whatever you would like to call it —- one must accept the whole situation of life as it is, both the light and the dark, the good and the bad. One must open oneself to life, communicate with it.“
-Chögyam Trungpa pg. 112/113, “Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism”
Honoring Inner Loving Parents on Mother's Day
Honoring Inner Loving Parents on Mother’s Day
As adults we can become our own parents. Honoring inner loving parents and those who lean on that support. Our biological parents help us into this incarnation. When we grow into adulthood, we are responsible for all psychic ages of ourselves.
Honoring all beings with complex relationships with mother. Be it biological, non-biological, godmother, grandmother, foster mother or _____________.
Honoring the profound holographic support of having inner loving parents and the noble, ongoing spiritual path that truly is.
Honoring mothers who have passed on from physical form, mothers who took their own lives, mothers who harmed us, unavailable or absent mothers, the mothers within us and the mother beneath us. Or, ____________, something I didn’t include here.
The complexity of M O T H E R as a concept and a reality reaches far out yet is so close.
This is all important - how we see our lives, how we feel, how we choose to heal, how we learn to love ourselves and parent ourselves in the ways we need, in ways no one else can.
As adults, we are responsible for ourselves. May we receive this as a gift. May we know moderation. My we ask for help when we need it. May we know connection to ourselves and others, in heart.
And to our ultimate mother, Mother Earth. Thank you so much. Loving you so deeply and knowing you are always there, in the depths of the deep. ♥️
HEART SENSING HEART: May 23rd Meditation Healing
Heart Sensing Heart Meditation Healing with Leigh Aschoff on May 23rd, 2021
::: Hello lovely beings. Join us Sunday, May 23rd for a meditation healing. The focus will be on heart peace. The theme is heart sensing heart.
*We will move
*We will ground
*We will clear
*We will breathe, relax, let go and receive
*We will focus on our heart
*We will honor our ability to sense with our heart
The process involves gentle movement and sharing of energy tools / information. The majority of the hour will be focused on the energy body meditation healing. This focuses on your central spectrum, aura and heart space.
Led with heart and guided by Spirit.
The experiential time and space is intentionally based in invitational transformation of your consciousness, heart connection and embodiment.
How can we live from our hearts? How can we know our own heart space? How can we sense our heart, with our heart?
HEART SENSING HEART asks these questions and more. This is a space to dwell in your heart, to inquire, to receive, to sense and to be with.
This meditation healing begins a series of heart-centered group healings that will continue once per month. We will be moving through the intuitive centers of the body, with heart, beginning with SENSING.
Living from heart invites being with and sensing heart. The intention of this heart-centered meditation series is to invite us into a deeper relationship with our heart. May this practice support us in living from heart in our daily lives in both shallow and deep experiences...
Join us!
All who sign up will receive a recording. The experience is private and heart centered. One hour.

Honoring the Energy Mechanics of Being An Embodied Soul
Today. Everyday. In all ways possible. 🌈
Slowing down helps clarify the mechanics. Slowing down supports clear vision and clear sensing. Slowing down is grounding. Grounding is essential for sensing and knowing truth, and for functional empowerment.
Honoring the energy mechanics that I am, as I am here. Honoring the energy mechanics that are you, as you are here. Honoring the energy mechanics of our planet and all of love, as life is here.
From heart, I practice the techniques I offer as a healing practitioner. With humility, I am guided by a power greater than me.
The sessions I offer are person-centered because they honor the wisdom within you, the seeker, the querent, as the way.
I notice we are taught to hide our humanity from one another and in this process we learn shame. This is painful and sometimes causes suffering. Being seen and being heard in spaces that lack judgment, fear and resistance is healing. This is simple and deep.
Honoring the mechanics of joy and the mechanics of suffering. Both essential parts of the spectrum of vital life force.
Akashic Records Community Message: DREAMS
I’ve been criticized for not having enough dreams. I’ve had my dreams crushed, to my face, by people who posed as “friend”. I have acted codependent with my dreams. I have watched people profit from others being codependent with their dreams. This message is inspired by my Akashic inquiry of DREAMS.
///:
To bestow upon oneself a mission to concretize a dream “or else” is to disrespect the dream for what it is, for how it is, as a dream. Not all dreams are for materializing. The dreamer dreams the dream that dreams a way of being not oriented in the third dimension.
What kind of dream asks to be other than itself?
Is a dream that asks to be “translated” into the third dimension the same kind of dream that abides, as itself, in another dimension (heart, imagination, mind, folly, soul land, etc.)?
What is the substance of a dream when not shared or attempted to be “made into material” or “formed upon human being interactions”?
Dreams are everywhere. Dreams are shared. Dreams are private. The truth of dreams cannot be fully cognized or shared because dreams are images and sensations and states of being. The truth of dreams can be shared through a feeling sense of being yet delicately and rarely.
Dreams come in all shapes, sizes and intensities. Dreams are everywhere. Dreams are filing all spaces. Dreams are laughing. Dreams are crying. Dreams are being dreams without a concern about transmuting into other dimensions.
Every dream is true, as itself, without asking to be materialized.
How do you value a dream, as itself, without a worry or a fuss of “making it happen” as if it hasn’t already come to it’s fullness, as itself?
An attempt to materialize dreams as a way of living can distract one from the abundance of what is already materialized and materializing. Without judgment, perceiving abundance can shift. This takes practice and a combination of mental agility and mental relaxation - a sharp surrender of awareness, held in duration, with an open sense of being witness. This is a balance of dreams and the three dimensional reality you find yourself in. We recommend balance and moderation; we encourage you to dance and laugh along the way.
RESPECT
“ R E S P E C T means communicating to others our sincere belief, that they, like everyone, possess the inherent strength and capacity to make it in life; they have the right to choose their own alternatives and make their own decisions. Behind the quality of respect is the belief that all human beings are equal and all have the right to choose their own destiny.” -Jacquelyn Small
How Does A Grounded Heart Speak?

OPEN LETTER FROM LEIGH ASCHOFF
As I continue to learn and grow as a healing practitioner, I come across guidance and information that does not work for me. In some ways, this has been a heart-ache for me. It has been a disappointment.
I am aware of the great opportunity available in disappointment, spiritually, and also the great expansion available in the process of surrendering. I take this heart-ache and disappointment as a spiritual lesson, as graciously as I am able.
Regarding being a healing practitioner and growing my private practice as I currently am, I have found time and again that people have guided me to behave in ways that I find to be manipulative (in order to grow my business and gain clients).
I do understand that sales and marketing rely on manipulation (because it works) yet I do not align with bringing that method into the wellness community and using it with vulnerable people who are in need of support and healing.
It is well here already; I am aware. Yet, I do not subscribe to it as a healing practitioner or as a business owner or as a person. And, I am willing to start talking about it more.
I have pursued becoming a healing practitioner because I was naturally given healing gifts that I chose to learn how to ethically practice to help others. I am here because I want to support people who are seeking help, support, healing and a better way of being alive. This healing starts with the individual and flows out into the world through everyone the individual is connected to.
This comes from a very personal place because I myself have needed help and support and guidance throughout my life. It is personal because I myself have been through separation, loss, grief, exclusion and deep bewilderment. This is personal because I myself have been manipulated by people in the wellness community.
All of this has become professional because I have committed myself sincerely to and seen through my experiential studies in the various healing modalities and techniques that I chose (or that chose me).
And even though this is now professional (this is my full time job), it does not take away the personal, authentic element of alchemical connection that happens during the sessions. Healing happens in relationship and I honor this relationship with my clients as something very sacred, delicate and also of great value.
I will not aim to “get inside my ideal client’s head” or use emotion to get people to work with me. I find these practices of building a business (which have been suggested to me on multiple occasions) to be unethical because it is basic manipulation. I also do not believe it is possible for me to “get inside my ideal client’s head”. Rather, I see that as a delusional boundary violation.
This type of dynamic also resembles acting as another person’s Higher Power or Source or Wizard (remember that guy behind the curtain in Oz?). I have been taught to claim that I know a certain type of person’s problems and to also claim that I have the cure, solution or answer to those problems. This, for me, is offensive on philosophical, spiritual and human levels.
This dynamic is dysfunctional and I will not participate in it. I can see clearly that people who need healing are often vulnerable, in pain, in need of help and at times desperately seeking a sense of belonging. I have been this person (a vulnerable person in need of healing and belonging). I have been taken advantage of. I will not do this to others as a healing practitioner.
As I move forward building my private practice, I will continue to study, review my classes and be rigorously honest about my mistakes. I will continue to do my best. I will honor the wisdom within each person as the most true solution to problems, challenges and concerns that I will graciously inquire about (to my clients) rather than assume.
I will do my best to be great at what I offer as a healing practitioner. I support people to use their own agency when scheduling with me. I will not claim to know who people are before I even meet them. I will not manipulate vulnerable people by telling them I know more about their problems then they themselves do. I will not coerce people into a business model that is built to serve only my monetary goals.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for reading my letter. It is very important for me to be aligned with the work that I offer and I am only able to do that if I speak truthfully about this and make my way forward with integrity.
In service to education, integrity and person-centered healing,
Leigh Aschoff
May Hearts See All of Life as Sacred
MAY HEARTS ALLOW A FLOW OF LOVING RESPECT FOR LIFE IN ALL FORMS.
May hearts see all of life as sacred.
May hearts soften for suffering and pain.
May hearts open to the resonance of love.
May hearts open to the resonance of honor.
May hearts open to the resonance of loving and honoring life in all forms.
May hearts honor life in all forms.
The Seat of Your Heart
The seat of your heart holds the sound of your soul - when you ground yourself & open to flow - the beat strengthens. The song of a Sweet Self can resonate & syncopate to your human choices.
Close your eyes & envision your bare feet holding the earth. The sensation of dirt & grass touch your skin & that earth energy flow up into your system, all the way to your spiritual heart.
Your heart song welcomes earth energy. Let this song & beat anchor your energy body as you walk through your life. This grounded heart energy supports you in your empathic, highly sensitive powers. Sit in your heart space with your bare feet in the soil.

Embodied Unlearning
Last weekend I had the honor of receiving medicine from @dr.rosalesmeza in an experiential class “Unlearning & Divesting from the White Colonial Mind” for Whyte folx.
After three days of a deeper, embodied unlearning of the Whyte colonial mind, I am witnessing a shift in my own heart consciousness and body.
In my many experiences of spiritual spaces led by Whyte women, I see how there is often no mention of how we can align ourselves and our spiritual businesses with divesting from the colonial Whyte mind. It is usually not mentioned as an option or a reality.
As a Whyte person who has benefited from hundreds of years of violent oppression & exploitation of BIPOC (both overt and covert), I see how Whyte inferiority (supremacy) continues in white dominant spaces especially.
I will be sharing more of my experiences and passion on this topic.
As I learned from @dr.rosalesmeza, everything is colonial (except Indigenous spaces). To an eye opened deeper, this means there is so much opportunity to divest.
I am a student of unlearning the Whyte colonial mind. As a Whyte person, I am peripheral to my BIPOC teachers and friends who are centered and leading this movement.
I am also learning how to use my voice to name divesting from the Whyte colonial mind - which is part of unlearning being oppressed by Whyte colonialism AND being oppressive as a Whyte colonizer.
If you are white, I encourage you to join in unlearning and be in alignment with BIPOC. This is lifelong work and it is an EMBODIMENT because our bodies speak to us and help us know what it in alignment with all of life and what is not (thank you for helping me REMEMBER this, Dr. Meza).
May we all be free from the violent oppression of life in all forms.
Grief Advocacy
I am an advocate for grief. I believe the grief process has been undervalued and at times those going through it have been disrespected (treated as “less than” or as weak, etc).
We can own our grief and step into authority over embodying it as and when we need to. Sometimes we are too distraught to even do that. Allowing grief to flow through can be completely disorienting so this is not to be treated casually, IMO.
While I make space for grief by talking about it, I also acknowledge that it’s healthy to take breaks from it and to breathe into movement, laughter and joy - if possible.
Being comfortable in the discomfort of grief I do honor. No one can take this away from a person or speed up the process. Maybe Higher Power / Source / Divine… yet it’s a journey of the heart that some of us make more than others in our lifetimes.
Grief is so beautiful and sacred because it shows an active engagement in the human experience that is connected to heart. It shows a liveness, an active sensing from heart, that is so precious. Tears of grief are tears from the heart.
We need to have our grief, our anger, our disappointments and our heart-aches. This deepens our capacity for love, excitement, joy and our ability to share ourselves with others.
When we respect ourselves and others who are grieving, we create a foundation for intimacy and connection.
To all who are grieving, I honor your process and I trust you will find your way through. If you need support or connection, please reach out. And if you reach out to someone who disrespects you, I encourage you to not give up on that part of yourself that wants to be seen and in connection.
With appreciation and respect,
Leigh
Honoring Grief & Discomfort
GRIEF INVITES US INTO HEART
How do you honor what is active in your heart?
How does grief show up for you in your body?
What do you need to honor your process of grieving?
How can you best care for yourself while you are grieving?
Does your child consciousness have needs around grieving?
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 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 deep breathing. Look out from here to witness what is active in your heart.
As you align with your inner loving witness see what is active in your heart with grace and allow for this to be, exactly as it is, as you, without changing, resisting, adapting or judging. Breathe deeply and allow your breath to flow through your heart 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.
I have to right to love and be loved.
I have the right to see clearly.
I have the right to speak my truth.
I have the right to be connected.
May all beings find self-acceptance and connection with a power larger then themselves that they can truly relax into.
Actively honoring grief and joy,
Leigh
