An interesting read, but more memoir than guide. It's a short book, and a quick read. It's mostly a recap of Altshuler's time in Nepal. I was expecting more of an introduction to the Akashic record, or more meditation focus. If you enjoy quick memoirs then you'll enjoy this!

The Art of Connecting to THE AKASHIC RECORD by Leonid Altshuler, M.D.

This short book shares a brief concept of an alternative approach to accessing the Akashic Record.

I recieved a free copy of this book from netgalley in exchange for a free review. A short simple book, that gives interesting information and techniques. Not the best book I have read on the subject, but nevertheless not a bad book.

This is an interesting and informative read. Great for beginners or those who actively practice. Well written and easy to follow.

Book Review by Mary Mikawoz

Book available March 1, 2019

This book is so short that I read it in one evening which is both good and bad.

I feel as if its essence has been distilled into the short portion of this book. This means you don't have to read a 300 page book that repeats its points in various ways. However, I find that Dr. Leonid Altshuler is an interesting person and as a psychiatrist, he would have some interesting things to say about his methodology and practice with his patients.

Perhaps, those with mental health issues are not so far or different from being psychic or spiritually connected in ways that the average person is not.

Dr. Altshuler reviews his process for achieving connection to the Akashic Records, the energetic force of all information in the past, present and future. If you follow along, you may be able to accomplish the same.

3.5 stars

Just a brief description of the Akashic Record. Some hints as to how to use meditation and dreams in an effort to get information from it. The Cover looks good and the writing style is easy. Not sure that I got a huge amount out of it. In some ways it continues on from the first book : The Girl in the Aluminium Box. I probably won't search out this author again!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I selected this book hoping to read about the Akasha and how to connect to the Akashic Records. I was quite disappointed to find the author retelling one trip to Nepal and one or two meditation examples.
There's no information on how to access the records and ask and reask questions. Just ask one question and the answer will come in your dreams. One question a night, it can take a long time to learn what you need to learn.

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for my ARC of this book.

No. Way beyond my interest in this sort of thing. I understand the premise, it just isn't my route. I really thought I would appreciate this book more.

This book was very underwhelming for me. It’s short and filled with basics. It wasn’t what I was expecting having the author writing this right after a trip to Nepal and the lessons he experienced in the temple. It ultimately left me somewhat disappointed and wanting more.

However, I can see someone who is inexperienced gathering something from this book. It’s just too short for taste to give it much credit though.

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

Enjoyed Dr. Altshuler's latest short book on how to connect to the akashic record. The first chapter was quit choppy and repetitive but subsequent chapters flowed more smoothly. The writing continues to improve.
Contentwise, I was interested to read mentions of diet affecting mental health. A topic often debated in popular writings of today and long known among herbalists and natural food enthusiasts. Also, talk about grounding as a way to slow down and clear yourself.
With regard to the meditation to connect to the akashic record i found the directions interesting and pretty clear. I liked that he added his personal experience.
I received the book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have only heard of the akashic records recently and wanted to find out more about them, this book was, I thought, more about the authors journey to discovering the records then an informative book, but saying that it has opened my mind more about these things.
Thank you netgally.

The Art of Connecting to THE AKASHIC RECORD: The Unique Nepalese Meditation
by Leonid Altshuler M.D.

Kindle Edition, 41 pages
Published March 1st 2019



Goodreads synopsis:
Dr. Leonid Altshuler M.D., a board-certified psychiatrist, went through years of misdiagnosis and suffering before he discovered what you are about to learn. Here's how Dr. Altshuler puts it: 

"There are millions people all over the world going to see psychics, regularly, trying to find out what going to happen to them in the future.

One theory of how psychics achieve their success is that there is a universal field of the energy, called the Akashic record, which contain all the information about all the events in the past, present and the future.

We do not need a psychic to help us access this information.

In this book I will describe a practical method of connecting to the Akashic record, which I learned on a trip to Nepal, where I spent a lot of time in a Temple, being tought by Masters.

If you are in any way interested in how the past, present and future are connected this book is a must.

You should probably be aware before you spend your money that this book is only 41 pages long. But these few pages do pack a punch. I wish the author had put in more examples and techniques into these pages to flesh it out a bit, but I understand he has other books out that cover these things. And that is good to know.

When I first learned about the Akashic Record, I was told that you had to do a complex set of instructions to even be let into this sacred realm. Here the author shows you how easy it can be to access and uses his own life to provide examples.

Hopefully, we do not have to travel to another country and eat only Yak meat and drink only water to attain such a state that makes us receptive to gaining the knowledge of the ages. But I found it interesting that the diet held such importance to establishing a connection. Also, he speaks about how stress and being in a stressful environment can keep us from unlocking this sacred door to wisdom.

I never thought about how our diet could impede our entrance into this realm. And this I found fascinating. I will definitely be trying some of the exercises and seeing how successful I can be doing the same techniques the author suggests.


I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.

An excellent little book for anyone seeking to improve their physical and mental health and, integral to that, improve their intuition, creativity and happiness. Include the ideas in your own life or, if you're a counsellor or therapist introduce your clients, gently, to these ideas.

This book was very short, only 46 pages with a few basic meditation techniques but nothing new and not much substance at all. I would like to thank NetGalley for providing me an early copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Written after a trip to Nepal, where Leonid Altshuler (a psychiatrist) spent time being taught by masters in a temple... This is a very short book (just 46 pages long) which offers to share the teachings learnt by the author. The subject fascinates me, giving insights to your past, present and future... so I was extremely excited about reading this book. Unfortunately although offering some basic meditations, the book was a bit too short for me and I was left wishing for more.
Thank you to Netgalley the author and publisher for allowing me to read.

I'm generally familiar with the concept of the Akashic record and although I pass on a lot of books that look like they are taking too much of a 'new age' approach to it, the author of this one went on a trip to Nepal and learned in a Temple, so it looked worthwhile.

It's a short book, just 46 pages, so not a lot of filler. Admittedly, the first chapter wasn't expressed as well as it might be and made him sound as if he had forgotten his meds. He does actually explain his method, which is basically sublimating a question and seeking answers in dreamtime or sudden inspiration. I admit I had hoped for something more quantifiable.

He also goes over some preparation, much of it familiar, like spending time barefoot on grass to ground yourself and taking yourself out of stressful situation. My one concern here was his recommendations for diet. All jibes about the availability of yak meat in the supermarket aside, I don't believe for a second that an almost all meat diet is healthy. Eliminating processed foods and excess sugar, yes, but we need vegetable carbs to live!

I can't say this book gave me anything really new. However, for someone who hasn't read other material on the subject, it could be enlightening and I expect the method will have some success.

This book was to short for me, it left me wanting more.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book free of charge. This is my honest and unbiased opinion of it.

The Art of Connecting to The Akashic Record is a small book by psychiatrist Leonid Altshuler in which he proposes to describe ways to use a Nepalese meditation technique for connecting to Akashic records and ultimately finding answers to our problems.
I agreed to read this book because I’m actually interested in this topic and as a nurse I’m also interested in alternative methods to treating mental illnesses.
The book starts with Dr. Altshuler describing how he met Dr. Bishal, his Hindu teacher in Nepal and was introduced to the idea that all beings possess psychic abilities but need to hone those skills by learning specific techniques such as meditation. Dr.Altshuler then proposes that the root of most problems, including depression, lie on a metabolic problem of insulin resistance. In order to lower insulin resistance and increase insulin sensitivity in the brain, Dr. Altshuler places his patients on a strict diet consisting of beef and water for an entire week and then follows a maintenance diet, such as keto, for the remainder of the treatment.
So let’s talk about what didn’t work for me. This book is very small, with very few meditation techniques to increase your vibration and allow you to access these so called Akashic records. He briefly mentions a few meditation techniques that are rather basic to people who are used to meditating, and then he spends the rest of the book talking about insulin resistance and being in this extremely strict diet of beef and water.
