This past weekend we celebrated at edlozini, praising and praying to God and our guides for good health, life and prosperity. It has become a norm that we gather for these celebrations once a month in order to help those who need a place where they can communicate with their guides and honor them amongst the people who share in the same intersts.
The evening began with a brief program as usual where people were once again reminded on what it is that we do here edlozini, which is honouring our ancestors by allowing the power of God to work through us without using any muti. Cleansing of our ancestors is also an important aspect of what we do as it helps them to float freely and become good guides to us. People were reminded about the importance of accepting their guides, honouring them and
making sure that they are consistent in the way that they do spiritual rituals.
Highlights of the evening:
-Yoga introduction by Caryl Bridge ( Yoga Instructor Warner Beach) Caryl spoke to the people about the importance of practising Yoga, its origin and benefits it has in ones’ life.
-Thandolwethu Ngidi (Radio DJ) spoke to the people about her experience since she came to edlozini, starting from how she got to know about us when she wanted to do an unveiling ceremony for her mom.
she reminded people that it is improtant to know what you want in life and do just that and be strong against peer pressure.
What was clear amongst everyone present was that everything happens for a reason and God allows for us all to go through life experiences good and bad. It is up to each and everyone of us to accept our guides honour them and then embrace life experiences as they come before us. We also learnt the importance of living a well balanced life that feeds the mind, body and soul, hence we welcomed the Yoga talk by Caryl.She reminded us that Yoga is not a religion but a practice that helps anybody who wants to live a well balanced life and be more productive in their lives. In the future we hope to have a Yoga demonstration, that will actually show what Yoga is all about.
After this talk, people asked some questions those, who had some queries and then we continued with the order of the day- Umgidi.
People participated, celebrated and prayed the whole night through. It is always such a refreshing experience to attend umgidi because it boosts the energy for those who are healers while it heals those who participate and pray wholeheartedly.
Amazing things happen during umgidi and it is up to the participants to give it their all and not hold back in order to connect with the ancestors. Just by attending and praying one can have their prayers answers even if one is not a healer. After such an experience one feels like a load is lifted off the shoulders because with the prayers we ask all the guides present to rejoice and listen to our daily prayers.
Once again I would like to thank all those who came, attended and made this an unforgettable night of prayer and spiritual upliftment that it was.
Our next Umgidi celebration is on the 9June 2012.
We do have another day prayer on the 26 May, which is for children, whereby parents bring their kids for spiritual prayers. This happens during the day on a Saturday from 12:00 to 16:00. It is intended for parents who have concerns about their children especially those who have difficulties in school.
