While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a typical fashion affair, we like to do things a little different here at La DoubleJ, to dive beyond the basic canapés and cocktails and cultivate a more ascendant kind of experience. That’s why, when we met the magical Sound Healer and Divine Channeler, Mikaella Akashic, we knew she was the perfect person to host a powerful practice for our users at our Raise Your Vibration Celebration in Dubai this past Spring. Discovering at an early age her capacities as a seer and akashic record reader, she plumbed the depths of her innate gifts at the sacred mystery school in Santorini before launching her own practice, hosting seminars and workshops in Cyprus, Bali and Dubai. Who better than our Lemurian sister to share the best places, people and things in Dubai and Bali to open one’s soul and heart, than the gorgeous and glorious, Mikaella? Scroll for her story, and her favourite soulful spaces.

LA DOUBLEJ: You’ve noted that you became aware of your psychic gifts in childhood - but how did you discover the specific practice of Sound Healing?

MIKAELLA AKASHIC: My path to the realms of music started at the very young age of 5 years old, where my parents sent me to my first piano lesson. For many years since then I studied piano in music theory and in harmony of music, and later in life I studied the vibrations of music and the magical healing of using the divine instruments. I play many 13 instruments in my sessions together with two ancient greek instruments of Greek Ancient lyra and Monochord.

LDJ: Can you give us a little insight into what our individual Akashic Records are?

MA: My akashic record readings started after completing years of studying sacred mystery school with my teacher Astrea Sri Ana. Our major memories, traumas and experiences over all of our lifetimes are stored and held in our akashic records. If there are traumas and experiences held in your akashic records that are unresolved, they do attract into your life continuing patterns of struggle and distortion. Under the Universal Law of Attraction, what you hold is reflected back to you. And so it is important to clear all of the unresolved akashic records, so that you are not continually affected by recurring challenges.

In my individual Akashic Record sessions, I work closely with the individual patterns that are shown to me, finding the core ancient experience that still recurs today and creates suffering and struggle. And the record is able to be dissolved, so that the recurring experiences and challenges are no longer experienced.

LDJ: You also have a gift as a Divine Channel and Seer and offer guided group journeys - how do these manifest?

MA: My gifts of Channelling and as a Seer have been two of my strongest gifts in this lifetime. By channelling and being able to see clearly what I receive from the divine, I am able to share this information in my channelling journeys and also into my akashic records sessions, and have been able to help so many people around the world. I also work together with my teacher sharing the teachings of Sacred Mystery School and the Path of the Masters.

LDJ: You recently guided a sound healing practice with La DoubleJ in Dubai - how was that experience for you?

MA: I received that the experience was of divine plan. The opportunity to share the beautiful journey with the magical vibrations of the instruments was a divine experience and I am very grateful.

“Each colour holds its own vibration and its own energy point. I work closely with colours and the chakras and I am always working on raising my vibration with colours”

LDJ: You’ve explored so much of the world, uncovering new destinations that have such a strong wellness draw. Are there places you’re excited to explore in the future?

MA: I have been travelling for many years around the world. Indonesia has been my second home for the last 10 years. Each place around the world is unique and I would love to explore most of the countries in this lifetime. Each country I visit, I receive something important for my life path.

LDJ: Do you think the wellness communities of Dubai and Bali have changed in recent years, to become more inclusive of the unique practices you offer?

MA: Wellness communities in general and not only in Dubai and Bali have been increasing as we are stepping into the new world, and more and more people are being called towards meditation and sound healing.

LDJ: We often talk about the high-vibrational qualities of color. How does color appear in your world, in your interiors, in your wardrobe?

MA: Each colour holds its own vibration and its own energy point. I work closely with colors and the chakras and I am always working on raising my vibration with colors.

LDJ: What attracts you to La DoubleJ’s clothes? To J.J.’s world?

MA: One world ‘increasing the vibration with divine colors and beautiful designs'
