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.
