Is there a benefit in doing a Soul Matrix Healing on the akashic records directly, or is this automatically done whenever a Soul Matrix Healing is requested?

The akashic record will not be overridden by healing, it is simply added to, as a record of the changed status. So in a sense, on record are all of the versions of the self, through their origin, their growth, and maturation, and eventual senescence. All stages are captured dynamically moment to moment. This is unalterable, and this is also why creating a life in divine alignment, and in balance, is a wise path because it will leave behind no record of difficulty, or lack. This is not only preserving one’s reputation, but also preserving the energy of being attacked, and with integrity of action this serves the soul, because the akashic record is so frequently consulted, and represents a touchstone for learning and guidance all along the way, in the life journey. The resonance of past experiences will always provide a point of comparison going forward. If those times were accompanied by a grave alteration because of corruption, the triggering of the similarity will allow that prior discord to be brought up as a reference, and it may in some cases, be embraced and began to influence the current functioning of the person and their current energetic signature. This is how past bad behavior can reoccur in another lifetime, even multiple lifetimes later, it is a reconnection with a prior time and place, and expression of that particular combination of factors, and influences. Even though it is long out-of-date, it can be referenced yet again, and borrowed from as a template, to readjust the current energies, and be re-created with a high degree of fidelity. This is unfortunate when the reference point is a negative expression of the individual and not a positive divine-level expression, but does happen. It is also a way of seeking those who may be vulnerable to manipulation. So there are many consequences to having an experience of being out of alignment, or walking on the wild side as some have described this, or flirting with the darkness. Many will choose this experience for learning and growth, but it has a downside, because it is there as a template with the soul signature of the person being in a distorted mode, and there may be a negative consequence from accessing this information if it causes the individual to remodel themselves to be a match to those energies. They may well regress to a prior time of being incomplete or corrupted. It can also be exploited as a way to manipulate a person and drag them down through indirect manipulation. This again, is a karmic consequence of taking that path in the past. It creates a vulnerability, and this will always be so of every negative action. It creates a future potential for repetition and sometimes at the worst possible moment.
