Meet Sara Murray | Akashic Records Reader, Shaman, Spiritual Teacher

We had the good fortune of connecting with Sara Murray and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sara, the decisions we make often shape our story in profound ways. What was one of the most difficult decisions you’ve had to make?
The most difficult decision I’ve ever had to make was choosing to listen to myself, and my own intuition, over the logic and reasoning of those around me. My business is, well, a bit weird – I am an intuitive Akashic Records reader, psychic, shaman and spiritual teacher. Although I’ve always felt in my being that this is my path, I’ve had to deal with the doubts, judgements and fears of others – even those closest to me – throughout my journey. I learned that although other people’s opinions can help guide me on my path, they are not the ultimate truth, and they are speaking from their perspective, based on their experiences. Every human being is unique at soul level in my eyes, so therefore they can only give me the best advice they can based on their unique standpoint, and what works best for them may not work best for me and my unique energy.

My professional journey begins back in August 2017, when I had a near death experience in the form of a motorcycle crash. The crash took the life of my boyfriend Sam, and left me disabled – severely burned on 63% of my body and transitioning between life and death. I spent 10 days in a coma, 3 months in the hospital, and had a very difficult reintegration into society following my recovery. In my coma, I had a series of dreams that would turn out to be prophetic and symbolic for what was to come in my life’s journey. I was told by a spirit in my last coma dream that it was “time to go back to the hospital, I still have work to do on the earth plane,” to which I replied that I did not want to go back and wanted to stay where I was. I was reminded that it’s not my time, there is much work I’ve chosen to do, I must go back… and then I woke up in the hospital.

During this pivotal time, I found I was very sensitive to literally everything – food, substances, environments, energy. As a burn survivor, we already cannot use any products with perfumes or dyes in them, which started me on a path to finding natural, safe alternatives to the products I had used my whole life. I learned how truly toxic most products we use daily are, and started questioning the systems in place around me. Were they really there to serve my highest good? I felt betrayed by society, and began to seek out my own truth and what really resonated with me.

Starting in 2018 I could pick up on “vibes” much easier than I could before. All my senses felt heightened, and I had no idea why. This was not ideal for me because I was still having reconstructive surgeries every 6 weeks on my burn scars, all while trying to heal mentally, emotionally, AND please my family by getting a job, which should have been the last thing on my mind. I began following intuitive nudges to try new things, searching for “signs from Sam” my deceased love, and studying the paranormal. I bought an ouija board, and talked to Sam through that until a psychic medium advised me to just get a pendulum instead. I missed Sam deeply, but communicating with his spirit truly helped me make peace with his death and recognize that he was still, and always would be, with me – he just lost his physical shell.

I began keeping journals of my journey and watching YouTube videos about consciousness and spirituality later in 2018, which really began my spiritual awakening. This helped me make sense of my experiences, and what was going on in the world around me. I began watching ancient aliens again, which was my favorite show in middle and high school. I highly recommend this show to anyone just starting out on their awakening journey!

Seeing as my favorite show as a kid was ancient aliens, I’ve never been able to fit in, and always saw myself as a black sheep, and I was starting to understand why – because I was here to help others make sense of what’s really going on here, who we really are beyond our humanness, and how to live a more whole, integrated, multidimensional life. Everything I rejected about myself was finally starting to come together and make sense. Everything was connected, and happened to me for a reason – something I’ve believed since I was a little kid. So synchronistic.

My art unfolded organically throughout this process. I began writing EVERYTHING in my journals – every time I saw 1111, and what was happening when I saw it. What crystals are good for meditating, healing, etc. How to use and develop my intuition. Song lyrics that felt meaningful. “Oofs” as I called them, or conspiracy theories that turned out to be true tales. Everything that related to me, my magical life experiences, and this strange pull I felt towards helping others. At the beginning of 2019, I disconnected from my family and people who “didn’t get me” and didn’t understand why I couldn’t just go get an office job like they wanted me to. I began reading tarot, and actually threw out my first ever deck because I thought I broke myself lol. Tarot is such an important part of my path, and I see now that my first deck opened my 3rd eye and higher senses. I felt like I was high, all the time, and thought I did something wrong. I later learned that I opened my 3rd eye, and soon got another deck. I began offering readings to my friends and my sisters who were in middle and high school. At the same time, I connected with “the children” as I called them, or a bunch of misfit kids in my town who also felt rejected and outcasted by mainstream society. They were high school age, who I met through my sisters – it was seriously miraculous how we all came together, but that’s for another time.

I began teaching them everything I was learning – how the universe works, what’s really going on behind the scenes, how to connect with and align your chakras, how to do shadow work and heal trauma, and how to use tarot cards to receive guidance from spirit guides. We called it “woke school”, and every Monday the 7 of us (sometimes more) would gather around to eat pizza and learn things.

Because of woke school, I started posting on Instagram, and making plans to provide knowledge for the people who were going through spiritual awakenings and saw the world the way I did. I got amazing feedback from people all over my community, saying my posts were spooky accurate to how they were feeling, and how I said the right thing at the right time and catalyzed a shift for them. I saw that my words had immense power, but my family dynamics caused me to hold back on pursuing it more. I understand that everyone is always doing the best they can with the resources they’ve got, so I get it that my family just wanted me to pursue a safe, predictable path. I could tell this was not going to jive with me, and the biggest challenge was being rejected, ridiculed, ignored and bashed for pursuing my own goals and this dream I felt unfolding within me. I wanted to be a YouTuber, a spiritual teacher, and a professional reader – and everyone around me wanted me to just shut up, stay quiet and be a cog in the machine.

Thankfully, my spirit said “NO WAY” and continued pushing me off the beaten path, and towards my destiny.

Throughout 2020 I continued posting on Instagram, finding my own way of doing things and aligning with my own version of purposeful work. Eventually I moved to Florida, created a new life for myself, and took an Akashic Records Soul Realignment certification course that gave me the framework I needed to be a professional psychic reader and mentor to others going through a spiritual awakening.

I officially began my business in spring 2021, traveling around central Florida as a vendor and psychic. I noticed that the more I shifted and embodied my path, and didn’t give a crap about what anyone thought of it because I trusted what I felt in my heart, the more others accepted me and followed me. Almost all my family dynamics were healed and shifted to see the value in what I was doing for the world. My mother, who was my perceived enemy all through 2017-2020, is now my best friend, biggest supporter, and someone who really SEES my vision at a soul level. My biggest advice to all reading this is to choose yourself, choose to follow what you feel in your heart, because it will never ever lead you to anything other than your highest possible path. Even when everyone is telling you to go right, if you feel it in your heart to go left, DO IT – run in the direction of your intuition, and never look back.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Currently, I am living in Massachusetts- a very sacred, beautiful, interesting place to call home. I would say, the first place on my list would be Salem, MA – not for the typical witchy touristy things, but to soak up the massive amounts of spiritual energy that are pouring through an energy vortex located in this area. The history, paired with the unique vibe this area manifests, creates for an interesting and life changing experience.

Aside from the energetic aspect of things, there is also amazing food and beautiful places to shop in the Salem area. Metaphysical stores housing crystals, divination tools, handmade items and more are everywhere in Salem, including a sacred Tibetan arts store which is my personal fav.

I believe that everything is energy at its core, and everything has an essence that can be tuned into and felt – this is what psychics do, just tune into and determine the essence that an energy is conveying. So it would be my goal to bring people to the places that I personally have felt the most authentic, magical energy, and also teach them about their experiences. Everything vibrates at a particular frequency, on a spectrum between high and low, light and dark. Sometimes high energy places can make people feel uncomfortable or frightened, so a simple lesson on what’s going on around them can shift them from feeling fear to feeling the wonder and unconditional love that place is vibrating at. The more we know, the less we fear!

I am extremely passionate about the whole Salem / Lynn / Saugus MA area, because there is so much spiritual energy playing out behind the scenes. This area is rich in history, and has sacred spiritual significance as well, even though most people see it as a gross ghetto area. So, it would be my goal to help my visiting friend to see beyond the “matrix” and into the world of energy, frequency and vibration. See behind the city distractions and tune into nature.

This energy world is always there, we just tune it out as we focus on the flashy, attention grabbing things all around us. The matrix to me is an artificial reality that has been pasted upon the real reality of nature, to keep us distracted and disconnected from our true spiritual nature, and keep us consuming. Think tv, bars, clubs, the fun earthly things that fight for our energy and attention. The matrix serves an important purpose, but it is not the only available reality. Blending the fun of the matrix and the spirit of the real world in a balanced way helps create a full picture of the way earth life can be, and was intended to be all along 🙏

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would love to dedicate my shoutout to “the children”, mainly my friends Kat and Emma. Without these 2 beautiful souls, I would have never found my path or found meaning in sharing my wisdom with the world.
