They are called the Akashic "Records" from the sense that within them exists an energetic library that contains all the information of your soul and its infinite life journeys--past, present and future. The information is not contained in anything like a physical book, however. It comes across energetically and is experienced.  It feels like intuition or knowing.  When I open your Records for a Reading, you may feel a sense of calm and peace.  You may feel more clear and certain about an issue you are exploring.  The Records are truly the ALL, where all possibilities exist, so it isn't a place where your story is already written in stone.  You participate in creating what that story will become.  The Records are always a place to uplift and dignify the Being that you are in this place and time.
