Rita Mirchandani's path to becoming a spiritual guide started nowhere near a meditation cushion — it started at a chess board. A former competitive chess player, she describes a spiritual awakening that redirected her toward energy healing and, eventually, work as an Akashic Records reader. Rita Mirchandani joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to walk through that shift and what she says the Records reveal to the people who consult them.
The conversation covers her own first reading, a formative trip to Asia, and her techniques for clearing a space of what she calls negative energy, all offered as her lived experience rather than settled fact.
About Rita Mirchandani
Rita Mirchandani spent years as a competitive chess player before a spiritual awakening set her on a different path. That shift led her into energy healing and, over time, into work as a reader of the Akashic Records — a practice she describes as a way of accessing insight about a person's life path, decisions, and, in her account, even business direction.
Her own account includes a formative trip to Asia and a period of what she describes as shutting off — and later reclaiming — her intuitive abilities. She now works with clients on what she calls spiritual evolution, framing personal and spiritual growth as intertwined.
