New Beginnings

1 Feb

Happy first of the month. The word February comes from the Roman word februum meaning purification and februa, referring to rituals used to be performed to clear the way for fertility of the land and of the people. February was seen as an important time to prepare for the coming of spring in Rome and other parts of the northern hemisphere. What is the date where you are? Marking time is not set in stone. There are many variations about the days, the months, the years, even the conception of day and night. This is just one of the topics to be covered in the Orange Feather Podcast Series. If you are interested in knowledge of self and the universe, to enhance your personal development and your spiritual growth, then you have found your kindred community.

The Link Between Emotional Health and Spirituality – Free Download

23 Jan

The link between emotional health and spirituality has come more to the forefront, especially since the reorganisation of every aspect of life, during the winter of 2020. The speed at which everything is moving has negatively impacted many individuals, whose mental health has greatly suffered.

Your emotional health is dependent upon your connection to your inner spirit. If you know that you are a spiritual being having a human experience, then maintaining a balance between the spiritual and the mundane is central to your wellbeing. This is one of the best ways to rest in the centre of a storm, whenever, however or wherever it appears. Learning to relax is central to stress management, as well as being in nature, which forces you to appreciate the moment. And this in and of itself, is a meditative tool, one which can greatly enhance and enrich your inner spirit.

In summary, when we decide to invest in ourself, we are making a commitment to advance our humanity. This is the ultimate self care lifestyle modality. A community is made up of individuals, if everyone made such a bold but natural decision to engage in a daily invocation, then the world would be a better place. To this end a 5 point check list has been created to help you to review your emotional wellbeing, with tips on how to bring yourself into homeostasis. Gain access by clicking on the link below:

What Are You Thinking?

4 Jan

In the West African Spiritual Practice of Ifa Orisa, as with many other examples across the continent, there are three important pillars of the faith: inner spirit, ancestral reverence and the spirits of nature. All three are regularly called upon to assist with decision making, when devotees and initiates consult the oracle with the assistance of trained priests and priestesses. In the West, this is the task of the personal development life coach, the design thinking content creator and various other journey guide services. However you first have to acknowledge that you need help. This is the first step in the process, of reflecting on where your mind wonders to, when left to its own devices.

The thoughts which are whirling around in your head, will lead you in one direction or the other. If you are ‘a wondering generality‘, you will choose pot luck. If on the other hand you are ‘a meaningful specific’, you will clear a path and start a journey with purpose. Which is it to be?

Thank You 2020 Halo New Earth #3

1 Jan

As an Independent Researcher into indigenous nature spirituality in general and African indigenous knowledge in particular, I am grateful for all that I continue to learn, from the gentle power of the natural world. If the past 12 months have taught us anything at all, it is the importance of self reflection. Developing your power of thought, is the most important exercise you could engage in at this time. Remember if you don’t use it, it will atrophy.

Whilst doing one of my time and space reconnaissance, it occurred to me that, its the simple things in life, that will help us to navigate to dry land, during this quantum hurricane season. And the safest place to be right now, is in the safety of your wise-mind. The free webinar is no longer available.

Thank You 2020 Halo New Earth #2

1 Dec

Look out for the upcoming Webinar to Celebrate 10 years of community engagement and what we can look forward to in the new earth…

Well done for making it so far. What a journey… and the changes have just begun. Some have called it the quickening, the eternal struggle between the forces of good and evil, as you may be aware of through the Highlander series.

In the West African Orisa tradition, the supernatural world is heavily populated with the good forces on the right known as the Orisa, the evil forces on the left known as Ajogun and the neutral forces in the middle known as Oludumare and Esu, as articulated by Ifa priest Baba Kola Abimbola of Ifa University. And we give thanks to all our teachers.

Thank you to our sponsors, supporters and members. Please feel free to follow us here at bluewaterfmaily.blog. to get updates when we release new content.

Ire o (pronounced “E-ray-O”) Blessings to you and your family.

Do All Living Things Have A Soul?

17 Sep
key words
Animism is the belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence. Potentially, animism perceives all things—animals, plants, rocks, rivers, weather systems, human handiwork, and perhaps even words—as animated and alive. Source: wikipedia [accessed 16-9-20]
The Collective unconscious refers to structures of the unconscious mind which are shared among beings of the same species. It is a term coined by Carl Jung. Source: wikipedia [accessed 16-9-20]
In the West African Yoruba tradition (and others across the continent), in simple terms, humans, animals and plans are all considered to be ‘persons’. This is not a unique belief amongst the religions of African Spirituality: Japanese Shintoism and Shamanic practices globally, hold similar beliefs. Carl Jung would perhaps site this phenomenon, as what he called ‘the collective unconscious’. Perhaps Raul Dhal himself was a healer of the human psyche, just like many authors who intentionally use their words as medicine. What do you think? Continue Reading Here.

Today is The End of 2012

11 Sep
Is today really the end of 2012? The answer is yes! this post will remind you that the concept of ‘Time’ is relative. We will use Ethiopia as our first example. Here are some facts about The Ethiopian Calendar: it is different to the Gregorian one in a number of ways.
The Ethiopian calendar is divided into 13 months not 12. The new year is on 11th September and 12th during a leap year, like this one in 2020. The Gregorian calendar is 7 to 8 years ahead of the Ethiopian one. Why is this? Time is relative, cultural and current. Different cultures count time in ways that are specific to their traditions. All time counting is dependent upon the celestial movements of stars, planets and natural satellites. Time keeping is also incorporated into traditional and contemporary spiritual and religious ritual practice. Click on this link and continue reading here:
