Learn to Access the Akashic Records

Rose Marie Swanson

I was born and raised in Charleston, SC, and spent many years as a Medical Lab Technician before retiring. Today, I am an International Speaker, Certified Consultant, and Certified Teacher of the Akashic Records.

My journey into spirituality began under difficult circumstances—I was raised in an abusive family, and for many years, I felt lost. My true awakening came after a near-death experience following a car accident. As I lay trapped and unable to move, I heard a voice:

“Choose whether you want to live or die. If you live, you will have to make some changes in your life.”

That moment changed everything. I chose to live, and in doing so, I set out on a path of deep spiritual exploration.

I immersed myself in learning, becoming a Reiki Master and Hypnotherapist. I also ran a Reiki Clinic, offering healing sessions to the community each week. But something even more profound was waiting for me—the Akashic Records.

My first experience with the Akashic Records began in the 1980s, when, during a hypnotherapy session, Mother Mary appeared to deliver guidance for a client. These moments of divine wisdom continued, and in 1992, I was formally introduced to the Akashic Records. My first teacher verified that the information I was receiving came directly from the Records, confirming what I had always sensed.

I was fortunate to continue my studies under Mary Parker, one of the foremost teachers of the Akashic Records. After years of dedication and training, I became President of Akashic Records Consultants International in 2003.

On October 23, 2005, under the guidance of Mary Parker and the Lords of the Akashic Records, I was honored to receive the “Mantle of Light of the Akashic Records.” This sacred responsibility is my life’s purpose, and I am deeply committed to sharing this wisdom with others.

The Akashic Records were the key that unlocked the door to Who I Truly Am. Now, I dedicate my life to helping others access this divine knowledge, empowering them to rediscover their truth, heal deeply, and awaken to their highest potential.

Ellena L. Lieberman – Akashic Records Teacher, Consultant, and Author

For over 35 years, Ellena L. Lieberman has been dedicated to guiding others toward inner transformation through the profound wisdom of the Akashic Records. Her journey began in 1990 when she and her sister, Roni Reisler, attended a life-changing class with Mary Parker in Chicago. Captivated by the depth of wisdom imparted, they committed themselves to immersive study, traveling between Chicago and Odessa, Texas, to fully absorb the original teachings.

A pivotal moment came in 1992 when Mary Parker personally invited Ellena to begin teaching alongside Roni, recognizing their unique energetic balance and deep spiritual harmony. Since then, Ellena has devoted herself to helping individuals access their Soul’s wisdom, facilitating personal growth and awakening.

Ellena’s expertise has earned her international recognition. In May 2022, she was a featured speaker on the global summit “Chaos, Healing, and World Change”, hosted by Shifra Hendrie, where she received widespread acclaim across the U.S., Europe, and Israel. Her teachings have also reached audiences throughout North and South America, and she has trained numerous students who have gone on to become leading figures in the Akashic Records community. Among them, Rose Marie Swanson, Mantle Holder of ARCI, took her first formal training with Ellena and Roni in 1992.

In addition to her spiritual work, Ellena’s background as a vocalist and actress has deepened her ability to connect with others, guiding them toward self-realization and empowerment. Her book, The Principles of Dynamic Manifestation As Received Through the Akashic Records, reveals how individuals can activate their full potential through Divine Force and has been highly praised by bestselling authors.

With a deep passion for awakening the heart’s true wisdom, Ellena L. Lieberman continues to inspire, teach, and uplift, helping others access the transformative power within.

Roni Reisler

Roni Reisler is a dedicated Akashic Records teacher, consultant, and mandala artist, whose journey into the spiritual and creative realms has been profoundly shaped by her lifelong connection to the Records.

Introduced to this transformative work through a family effort, Roni’s path began when her brother-in-law shared insights from his early studies, inspiring her and her sister, Ellena Lieberman, to explore the teachings firsthand.

In 1990, Roni and Ellena attended their first workshop with Mary Parker, marking the beginning of an intensive period of learning and deep spiritual connection. Over the next two years, they traveled between Odessa, Texas, and Chicago, immersing themselves in the practice while living and studying with Mary. This dedication culminated in 1992 when Mary personally invited them to teach the Akashic Records, recognizing Roni’s role in balancing and expanding this sacred work.

Roni’s artistic journey is deeply intertwined with her spiritual practice. In 1998, she earned her first certification in mandala creation, seamlessly integrating the wisdom of the Akashic Records into her artwork. With a background in art, theater, music, and literature, she has always embraced creativity as a channel for higher consciousness. Through the Records, she has unlocked new dimensions of artistic expression, allowing Light-filled energy to guide her work.

As a teacher, consultant, and artist, Roni Reisler continues to inspire others by blending ancient wisdom with creative exploration, helping individuals access their own divine guidance and potential.

Marcia Swanson

Hello, my name is Marcia and it’s pronounced Marsha, although I do respond to most variations as long as it starts with M. I am a retired professional baker who has traveled extensively teaching the craft. I was first introduced to the Akashic Records a tad over 25 years ago by my dear friend Rose Marie in Charleston, SC. There was a group of us here in Charleston that were interested in learning how to read the Akashic Records and as part of her training Rose Marie invited Ellena Lieberman to come and teach a level I class. Of course I attended.

As a result of that class there were many of us that chose to continue (Wendy Sue Wahl being one of them) and we were instructed by Ed and Denise Comney in a Level II class. Ed and Denise returned later to teach an advanced Grace Points class that was phenomenal! In 2002 Mary Parker came to Charleston to teach us a Level III.

I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity of her staying in my home at that time and to say I was thrilled doesn’t begin to cover the level of my excitement! I was blessed with having had the opportunity to see Mary Parker again on several occasions. At a retreat in South Padre Island I was honored to have been accepted and certified as a teacher by her.

I had the privilege of being in her presence repeatedly in Odessa where she resided. I was in attendance when she transferred the mantle of Akashic Records. to Rose Marie Swanson and it was a moment that the word powerful doesn’t even begin to describe. The transfer of light was truly amazing. I’ve had the delight of co-teaching with Rose Marie many Akashic Record classes.

Currently I use the Akashic Records as a tool to assist me in my dowsing, creative writing and as a means of personal growth. I have been blessed beyond measure to have learned this amazing Sacred Prayer Method of accessing the Akashic Records. I am a managing member of ARCI Inc. and hold a pillar of its foundation.

Reverend Wendy Sue Wahl

Born in Alaska, and raised in Washington State, I lived in several states with careers in Aviation, Banking and the Grocery Industry. When I was 35 years old, I moved to Charleston SC seeking a change in my life.

I found that change 2 years later, at a Girl Scout Training Camp, when I met a person who introduced me to Rose Marie Swanson and Marcia Swanson. Through my relationship with them I learned Reiki, and started taking Akashic Record classes in 2001.

I had the pleasure of being taught by Mary Parker for the first time in 2002. I immersed myself in a journey of healing and found myself daily asking the Masters, Teachers and Loved Ones for support and clarity. I became an ARC’I Certified Teacher in 2005 with consulting and teaching becoming my full-time business in 2009. I am a co-Board Member for Akashic Consultants International, LLC

In 2004 I was ordained by Universal Brotherhood Ministry. I use many modalities in combination with my Akashic Records work which include Reiki, Polarity Therapy, Havening, Hopi Wisdom and I continue to learn daily through my connection with the Akashic Records.
