Ancestors/ Idlozi's name

When we talk about ancestors people immediately jump into conclusions and think of all the hearsay and unfounded facts and myth on the subject. This is because people who were involved in doing ancestral rituals in the past have not been upfront and open about it. There is a lot of information out there about ancestors but most of it is not true and it is misleading.

In the past people were not allowed to share or even speak about what happens when we are doing ancestral rituals. This has made the subject to be more complicated and a mystery, to a lot of people, leading others to jump into conclusions, becoming judgmental or paranoid when it comes to the subject. Some people have no clear knowledge of the ancestors and rituals because healers in the past did not want to share their work with their patients. They did this because they supposedly were afraid of disclosing “secrets of the trade”. It is this attitude that has sunk the ancestry field deep into darkness. Another reason why healers did not share so much was simply because of their ignorance and or lack of education as we know that most of the healers in the past did not have much of schooling. Most of the healers would leave school early or not even get a chance to attend school thus leaving them in the dark when it comes to ways and means of growing in the field and empowering themselves and others people out there.

There are healers, even today who are not too keen on answering questions about how they work or how they got their powers to start with. When one starts to probe deep into the subject and ask for reason you are told not to ask too much because some information about ancestry is the secret of the trade.

In the past healers, would just tell you what to do and not tell you exactly why you have to do it. They would go on to say that asking too many questions could sabotage the whole healing process, leading the patients to do rituals that they didn’t even understand with the hope that it would help them with their problems.

The other reason why the healers kept some information to themselves was because when the western religion came to our country, ancestry rituals were sidelined as something evil and backwards. This lead people to believing that doing ancestral rituals was not right and against the will of God. Most people turned into Christianity and those who remained were outcast until just recently when the church became more lenient when it comes to people and their culture. 

Not talking openly about ancestors and educating people what ancestors really are has opened a door for unscrupulous healers to take advantage of the helpless, desperate and unsuspecting people who come to them for help.

We are living in the times when the studies are leading us in discovering and uncovering so many things about our lives. Studying is used to predict the future and to separate the facts from myths. It paves the way forward for the future with its discoveries, while looking at the history of the earth / world. Through sociology we look at human society, its development, its institutions and its problems. When we turn to anthropology we look at the study of human kind, especially that of societies and its cultures. We then talk about study psychology to know more about the human mind, its workings and especially the behavioral effects thereof including mental characteristics. It then puzzles me how we forget to include our ancestry into all of these forms studies, discoveries and science.

I know that science is more of a study of a physical world where we observe experiments and results thereof but on the same note I would like to say that ancestral rituals have also proven to have substantial results in healing people with  difficulties be it in the physical form or on the emotional level.

May be we need to link ancestry and its rituals to scientology which focuses more on the seeking of self-knowledge and spiritual fulfillment but either way, ancestry also need some form of examination and deep study and understanding that can render it a science in itself.

Once again, I am going to blame this on  the lack of knowledge and the will to empower others on the subject matter because ancestry is also a bigger part of  science and its discoveries than one can ever imagine…

It is about time we started talking openly about ancestors, what we mean by ancestors, what they are and what they are not.

Christian religion came into our country and turned people away from ancestral rituals thus taking them away from the only spiritual link that our people had with God. It is not true that our people did not believe in God before Christianity. People always knew that there was God almighty, who was beyond human understand and was responsible for human life. People had their own form of a God and they had their own prayers that included ancestral rituals in them. When we accept, honor and acknowledge our ancestors, it does not mean that they take the place of God. It only means that they act as a passage way to our God almighty. They are our guardian angels who help guide and protect us once they are with God.

It also not true that people call upon the dead and try to wake them up so that they can praise them. This is just a myth which is spread by those who are still in the dark when it comes to ancestry. People need to know that ancestral powers are there and they exist whether one wants to admit to this fact or not. Ancestors come through and touch the lives of people in one way or the other, and then people start to listen and respond to the needs of their ancestors. No one wakes up and decide to become a healer out of the blue. When one becomes a healer we say that they are answering a “calling” because of this fact.

All healers are called to this field while they are living normal lives and trying to get on with life. Something happens in their lives that points to the direction of answering a calling and then they start to “listen” and then answer a calling. Some people are against this as they say that people are disturbing the “dead”. I like to differ because I am a living proof that it is not until the powers “touch” your life in some way or the other, that you turn and start to do or follow the calling.  

I was living my life normally, having set goals and visions for my own future when I was called to become a spiritual medium. Yes, I had been doing ancestral prayers before because it is something that was done in my house but this does not mean that I had planned to grow up and become a healer, one day. So, it worries me when I hear people say that we must leave the dead people alone because we are disturbing them, when in actual fact it is them (the dead) who come back and touch our lives, asking for help.

People say that when we are doing ancestral rituals we are praying to the demons but it puzzles me when that same demons ask us to pray for the people and provide healing to the troubled souls, here and on the next plane.

Yes, when the ancestors first approach you, they are in an angry state because they are caught in between worlds. Their problem is that they are carrying with them powers which are no longer needed in the kingdom of God. They then contact us so that we can use these powers here on earth to do good and help one another. Once they are cleansed and happy they operate as guardian angels and move on to the next form of life in the kingdom of God. All ancestors who come back to disturb peoples’ lives they complain about one thing, being stuck on their way back to the source(God) They complain that there are things which are holding them back and they want us to cleanse and pray for them so that they can move forward and rejoice in eternal happiness.

People say we are praying to the demons and yet the same demons ask us to help other people with these powers here on earth. They ask us to take care of our children and teach them to love and not to destroy that which God has created with love. They ask us to teach people that God requires us all to fill our hearts with love and not to judge anybody because we are all just humans trying to unsolved the mystery of life. Our ancestors ask us to open peoples’ eyes, hearts and minds in order to find that love and peace that we all seek here on earth.

I wish I could go on further and talk about the same people who say we are praying to demons and talk about all the ungodly things that they do in return while they claim to be children of God but that would be judging, so I will just leave it at that…

Ancestors are a power that comes form the souls of those who have departed. This powers come back to earth and disturb the lives of their loved ones if the person who died had unfinished business here on earth. The reason why they come back could be because they are carrying with them healing powers which are no longer needed in the kingdom of God, they have unresolved issues of family feuds and sins that are holding back or they left too quickly through an accident thus their souls are stuck in between worlds…etc-the list is endless for them to come back and “touch” the lives of those who are living.

They have an ability to come back and touch our lives because they are now living in a spirit form, which takes a form of an energy. This energy has the power to alter our lives by playing games with our mind to an extant that it culminates to even physical manifestation on the body.

I believe that we have not done enough studies when it come to ancestors, what they are, their powers, and what they are actually not. Ancestors are a power that is so close to our God almighty that it requires nothing but purity in our hearts. -This is the reason why we always emphasis the process of cleansing ones mind, body and soul before we even begin to start on this path. This is also the reason why we discourage the usage of bad muti when it comes to cleansing of the ancestors. By bad muti, I mean that muti which seeks to change the future or alter the lives of others people without their concern. That muti which is made out of that which is toxic and destructive on earth. Bad muti is the root cause of all evils here on earth as it promises people miracles but delivers nothing at the end of the day. We must also remember that there is also magic which tends to mislead people out there…

There are ancestors who are stuck because they did bad things while they were still alive so, when they come back they want to be cleansed off and be released so that they can move forward on their journey of a newly found form of life. These ancestors requires us to do good in order to balance out the energies thus setting them free. In order words, they want us to balance out the karmic energy that surrounds them and affecting us at the same time so that they can rejoice, and we can find peace here on earth…  “think about it”

Ancestors are powerful when used to do good and can provide a sense of peace to a troubled soul. Ancestors are a power that forms a part of a persons’ aura, whether one recognizes them or not.

On the 6-7 July 2012 we held a kiddies camp here edlozini with the aim of teaching our children about ancestors/spirits and the work that we do here edlozini.

We accepted children from the age of 7 to 22 whose parents already come to edloznini for healing and prayers. They ranged from grade 6 to 2nd year varsity student.

Here is the program for that weekend..........................................................

10.  Health and nutrition

Breakfast

Skipping breakfast is a big NO!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It doesn’t have to be bland. An ideal breakfast could be toasted bread with eggs, a slice of tomato and fried bacon or sausages. For cereal lovers you can jazz them up a bit with yoghurt and fruits like apples, oranges and bananas. Bananas are the most recommended fruits since they are high in fiber (meaning you feel fuller for longer) and they also help to release stress and keep you happy.

Lunch

It doesn’t have to be the old boring peanut butter sandwich. You can make a fancy cheese and tomato sandwich with ham, a bit of herbs and mayonnaise (not too much!), noodles with viennas, stir-fry vegetables with pasta topped with sauce or rolls with fish and mayo topped with green pepper and tomatoes (Fish helps your brain stay fresh and helps you to remember things for longer. Lol! ☺ How cool is that!) Mmmmm! Doesn’t sound so boring now does it? You just need to be creative and play around with ideas! Who knows? You could be the next Jamie Oliver! Just let your imagination run wild, be careful with the cutlery though, and have fun!

Dinner

Always  enjoy your dinner with your family at night. Dinner can be cooked meals with vegetables and salads. Always enjoy your veges as they provide the nutrition we need to keep our bodies healthy and strong.

Eat slowly and maintain good manners at all times. You can share the stories that happened during the day at school while you enjoy your dinner with your family.

Go ahead, enjoy and be happy!

...........................................................................................................................

I must say that I really enjoyed spending time with the children and I learnt a lot from them as well. I was suprised at their insight and knowledge about ancestors, life in general and even politics. I tell you, our children are well clued up and very clever these days.

The main aim of doing this camp was to get an idea of what our children are thinking and how are they coping with the problems at home, but most of all we wanted them to have some fun.

At the end of the day we all enjoyed ourselves and felt really blessed to be around the young minds........

Umgidi/healing session for adults started thereafter...

We will be hosting another childrens' camp in December, during school holidays.

Diversity      June 2012

In my line of work, I deal with different kinds of people from different backgrounds and different walks life. Luckily for me there is no need to classify and group the kinds of people and personalities I come across on a daily basis. People in this world are too diversified but it is important for us to find some sort of common ground when it comes to sorting out our problems in order to minimize misunderstandings and quarrels in the world.

I deal with people who are traditionalist, Christians, cultural conscious individuals and people who are just living their lives minding their own business not wanting to belong to any culture whatsoever, and this is just to name a few different kinds of people I come across. I haven’t even mentioned people who are lost between cultures, religions etc. I can even go on to mention that I also deal with people who are affected psychologically whether they are aware of this fact or not. I also deal with my “favorite” kind of people who are affected psychologically but they try to hide it by doing all that they can to “act” as normal as they can. 

First of all, it is important for an individual to have some sort of a background where they can drain the energy we all need to move on and persevere in life. These backgrounds may differ from one person to the other…And yet in my line of work I have to overlook all these differences and find a common denominator that affect us all as humans in the same way. This is the reason why I always stress the point that ancestors “speak” a “Universal” language that is divine.

Secondly, we find people who think that they don’t care about any culture whatsoever and by doing so they are creating a new culture or trend which in turn is a culture in itself. These people will come to me and say that they only want what is best in their lives without any affiliation to any religion or background referral. They always claim that those ahead of them have never taught them anything about any culture so they have no background and would like a fresh start that can steer them in the right direction. These people are open minded, willing to do things that make sense and they are not afraid of change in their lives. These are the kind of people who are go getters and risk takers who put no fear in their way towards achievements in life.

Thirdly, there are people who  have some sort of cultural background that they follow but they still find some loop holes and mishaps in their lives, so they come to me seeking guidance and explanations. They claim that since they do everything according to the culture that was taught to them from childhood, it puzzles them that they still find themselves with so much problems in their lives. These people will recognize stumbling blocks in life but they are too afraid to change the culture that was taught to them from childhood. In as much as they listen to what their ancestors say, they still want their ancestors to refer to the culture that they know when sorting out ancestral problems. These kinds of people will only see a change in their lives first before they accept that a culture needs to move with times and change at times when there is a need.

Lastly, I deal with people who have psychological scars  be manifested either consciously or subconsciously in their lives. Others are aware of these scars and yet they act like they are in control. When others are totally unaware and they just need answers to their unsolved mysteries. Those that are aware and are just acting as if they are in control are the kinds of people who take long to receive healing through doing ancestral rituals. These kinds of people act like they understand everything and yet they fail to see that what they understand clearly is the main reason why they are stuck in life. It doesn’t help one knowing where their problems come from if they are not willing to do what is supposed to be done in order to solve that kind of a problem. It doesn’t help to analyze and present dissertation of your problem when you are unable to open your heart and accept help from those who can help you.

What these people need is some sort of affirmation which can be introduced to their minds in order to subconcinsciously put their minds at ease and to let them open their eyes and see the light which is always shinning bright in front of them. Yes, the light is always shinning bright in front of us but we sometimes fail to “see” it. We sometimes allow psychological scars to block our conscious mind from helping our physical body to work properly. This is the reason why we all need some sort of a balance in our lives before people can give us names like crazy, abnormal or loonies.

It is even worse where you find that a person has complications that come from all of the above, and yes it happens. This person will have psychological scars and yet they do come from some sort of a cultural background or upbringing but because of problems in this world they tend to ignore it all and act like they have no culture whatsoever.

I think by now, you have an understanding of the kinds of complications I come across in my line of work. And the next time you see me drawn to myself and rolling my eyes with no response, you will have a hint of what’s going on in my mind.

I also think that may be you have found yourself a category where you belong and will try and do things right in your own life.

People should be empowered about all these conditions in order to make them understand that all our problems come from within each and everyone of us. We draw the kinds of problems that we encounter on a daily basis. We draw to us the kinds of friends that we keep.

There may be no way one can change their path in life but I believe that once a person has been taught about their circumstances it is then up to them to use that in a way that can take them forward in life. Empowerment in these matters is lacking tremendously and this is the reason why we view others as different to us simply because we lack the knowledge to deal with these negative forces that tear us apart. Showing sympathy and understanding to someone else’s’ problems is one step in the right direction.

We need to stop judging others when they are in trouble but help them to deal with their problems from within, because no matter how much we try to help them, it doesn’t take effect until they believe it from the heart that they can do it. And from the heart we draw the most powerful energy…of Love.

And yes, we all have a heart, we all are capable of Love. It is the love of money that makes people steal. It is the same love of money that makes others work hard. Those who have seen the light must do all in their power to help those who are still in darkness so that they can also be empowered and steered in the right direction. As we do this we need to be non- judgmental…

Human beings are a creation of love but we make these demarcations amongst ourselves that result in so much diversity in the world and then we complain about other people who are propelled by the same love that work within ourselves.  

And yes. Love is at the core of this Universal language acting as the engine from which we drain the power to move on in life. It is the Love that draws us and prompts us all to act in whichever way we act. It is only through this love that we can achieve and conquer all…

Let us love this diversity…so that we can only reap what is positive from it…

Ancestral powers were taught to me since childhood because I grew up in a culture that honors ancestors and do prayers through ancestral rituals. As I grew older I realized that other people from different backgrounds and walks of life also have their own beliefs and means of worshipping the “divine” being that is inside all of us. Later when I started helping people spiritually, I saw the need to educate people on this subject and try to bring clarity to all the misunderstanding that surrounds religion and belief systems.

I talk about ancestors because I was talk about it from childhood and I strongly believe that someone who grew up in the Hindu community would talk about different kind of powers that they believe in. I have also learnt that the Yoga that we do today originated from India and it talks about energy points(chakras) which are almost the same as the way we interpret our ancestral problems.

I have gone on to see people calling ancestral powers demons simply because they are staunch Christians who do not believe in ancestral rituals. I  have also seen Christians saying their messages come from the holy spirit, when I believe it is simply their ancestors communicating such messages to them.  All this has made me to realize that people all over the world are caught up in a lot of misunderstandings around religion and belief systems simply because we fail to open our minds and be accepting of one another. The fact that I don’t understand the way of your religion doesn’t mean that I have to judge and ridicule it.

At the end of the day we  all are one from the same source no matter which name you want to give it and we are all affected by the same powers as long as we define ourselves as human beings. Every human being will bleed when poked and fall down after jumping up so why make so much fuss when it comes to powers that affect us spiritually?

I think for us as a people, we need to get to a point where we study these different walks of life and belief systems, understand them so as to be comfortable with the subject and then stop judging one another in order to achieve some peace around the world.

We also need to realize that as the earth rotates on its axis, it brings about the same effects and changes to humans no matter where in the world we come from. So, these changes are bound to create havoc in our lives, in one way or the other. It is then up to us to teach ourselves, empower ourselves and be open minded in order to understand and accept other peoples’ actions and reactions towards us. At the moment there are so much problems in South African schools with school children being affected by spiritual powers where our kids go into trans simply because of the changes on earth that we fail to educate ourselves about. These changes have made us all to be  sensitive now more than ever before.

We need to realize that as the earth evolves so does our way of living and it’s important to keep up with times and be on point when it comes to religions and belief systems as well.

Ancestors in my world are simply the powers that we get from our loved ones who have passed on. These powers manifest themselves in different ways and can cause different problems in ones’ life if not  properly honored or accepted. There was a time when the belief was that a female person will always be lead by the female guides and a male by male guides but off lately, there are changes in the way we are guided by these ancestors. Nowadays you find that a female person can have male guides and when this happens it comes with problems in the life of such a person. The reason why this has happened is because we haven’t been listen properly to start with and we have not keep up with the changes that affect us in the world as the earth revolves….

Nowadays you also find males who are lead by female guides and this has made our ancestors to be unhappy in such a way that it manifest itself in unhappy lives on our people.

When your guides are unhappy it leads to an unhappy life.

Unhappy guides/ancestors are cause by ancestors who are not honored, accepted and celebrated properly and openly. These powers possess us they want to be proud of our roots while doing rituals and celebrations. These powers lead, guide and protect us in our lives because it is their duty to do so. The problems is they cannot keep on guiding, leading and blessing us if we do not accept honor and give thanks to them.

When we make our ancestors happy and we accept them we need to understand that it is through the powers of God that these powers are able to affect us in the first place. Whether you believe in God Almighty or the Universe, it is through the power of the divine that we are able to be in touch with our spirituality, so when we do our prayers let us start from the source and then branch off to our different belief systems.

There is only one source where we all come from and after death we all go back to the same source. It doesn’t matter what religion or practice I abide by while on this earth as long as I know my source that can keep me grounded let me understand that there is a power that is greater than all human understanding. The power that is the main source of all life forms on earth. The power that was here before, it is here now and will be here after life.

I call it ancestors because I understand these powers to be ancestors…

I go on to say there are ancestors who at an angry state and those who are happy.

Then there are those who come from my mothers side and those from my fathers’ side.

When doing ancestral rituals I need to satisfy all these aspects of ancestors and make sure that my ancestors are at the happy state before I can attain peace and happiness that I long for.

On the flip side of the coin now,  for someone who practices yoga, I understand that there are different energy point or chakras which come form the nervous system which can be further explained as coming from the Physical and Energy body. This practice continues to talk about the central nervous system from which we find the physical body control and also the non-physical body that comes from peripheral nervous system. In yoga practice we also talk about the Autonomic nervous system or energy that is non- voluntary which can either be sympathetic(energetic) or parasympathetic( calm state)

With such an insight one comes to an understanding that we are all governed by the same energy which comes from the same source. The differences that we see are only a way in which we relate to these forces depending on our up bringing, backgrounds and belief systems.

Studying and practicing yoga has taught me that the Universe has an abundance of knowledge that is readily available for us to take advantage of but we need to be very careful how we approach it. People should stop pointing fingers and judging one another, but we must make use of this knowledge and use it to our advantage. We need to be open minded about how we deal with such topics in order to create a better world for all… It is also important to move with times, as the earth revolves so that we don’t get stuck in practices that have lost meaning simply because we are afraid of accepting the change that mother earth bring upon us.

Let us take from our cultures that which helps us grow as people and do away with practices which seek to destroy the humanity in all of us. The choice is ours to balance things out and treat one another as human beings that we are from one source and stop judging and name-calling…

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.
