The Power of Light

Elegua

Elegua has opened the doors to the opportunities.

The Deities/Orisha work with the lights along with my Ancestors to guide me down the correct road at this time and it is up to me to see the signs.

Elegua works with the Candles offered to my Ancestors, Oshun & Yemaya to guide me along my path at this time.

The Light is also bringing new opportunities at this time and moving forward existing opportunities.

To strengthen the work of the Orisha and My Ancestors is the energy of appreciation and gratitude for the known & unknown Blessings.

My actions must reflect appreciation and gratitude and these energies give strength to the Light energy.

Libations compliment the energies of the candles, unifying the energies of water and light.  Intentions are the driving force.  Check your intentions.  Negative intentions to control, force or manipulate backfire on the sender in time.

Work Through Pettiness

Is it good character to use spiritual work to block others because they are not coming to you?

And what about those who are priests (eses) who do work to block others to try to force someone to run them. 

Is that what Ifa deems is good character?

A Universal Law is you receive based on what you do.  What you do comes back to you.

Is pettiness a wise way to live and act?

My challenge is to be response-able and not reactive.  It is to see their fear and insecurity manifests through pettiness.

MY Focus - Seeking Divine Guidance and Divine Love

How Do You Honor Your Ancestors Each Day?

We are not here for ourselves.  This planet is being loaned to us by our children’s, children’s, children – 7 generations forward.

We owe our existence to our Ancestors.

We can’t imagine what our Ancestors endured from the time of capture through Reconstruction in America and Colonialism in the African Continent and Caribbean Islands and South America.

Yes it was the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade; our Ancestors were transported across this globe for Profit. 

We must Honor them in all we do.

Our Ancestors pre-Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and pre- Invasions from Foreign European & Arab Nations have much to teach us about life and living too.

What changes do you need to make in your life in order to Honor your Ancestors recent and Ancient?

Libation for Life

http://www.consciousplat.com/

You can’t walk this life journey alone.  

We need our Ancestors, our Creator, and Deities to guide us.  

They need us too it is an interdependent relationship.

Libation is giving to your Ancestors and Deities, the Universe & Mother Earth.  

It is a way of communing and communicating showing appreciation, giving light and love, a way to connect.

As I grow in my relationship with my Ancestors and Orishas my libations are daily. 

For me the pouring of libation is a way to directly connecting. 

It is a quiet time, a sacred time an action that confirms I am not alone. 

It calls me to always increase in my awareness for the signs of their Guidance.  The signs can be subtle, so I must remain conscious and alert.

I pour libation to give thanks, honor and praise for Divine Light for my Ancestors for all Blessings Known & Unknown.

Unknown Blessings

Days of confusion followed by days of clarity and then around I go again.

Then Guidance comes and must be humble, I do not know the unknown Blessings.

Walking Out On Faith

http://pamgalmeida.com/?page_id=12

This journey of Spirituality’s self-discipline is not an easy journey. You can’t walk it alone.  You need a support of a community.  

You need the guidance and support of the Orisha.

One of my many lessons is to step out on faith.  To be diligent in my work of creating and moving forward on opportunities knowing Spirit will manifest what is best.

There are days when Oya winds of change, winds of cooling and winds of boldness & courage work through me.

These next few days stepping out on faith, without stressing and maintaining focus on the tasks at hand, while listening to Divine Guidance.
