Ancestors/ Idlozi's name

 “We are on a threshold of a new beginning” …on Oprah. When I heard this statement I actually had a de ja vu moment. People all over the world are more aware of their spirituality now, more than ever before. Those in the know have said that it is a phenomenon created by the positioning of the planets, which seems to create these vibrations, making everyone more spiritually aware. These vibrations have made people to explore the possibility of the unseen forces that work parallel to our planet, but affecting us in a way that can have devastating consequences in our lives if we are not spiritually tuned in and open minded about it.

As far as I am concerned, it is great to be living in this time, when history is being made and the reality of life is being revealed to greater extents. Life itself has been a mystery to humans since the beginning of time.

Those that lived before us have tried to find answers but left this earth before making any sense of it all. When our children grow up we tend to neglect the facts of life when we teach them about this life. We always tell our children to excel and be the best at what they do and yet we do not tell them that, at times you try your best but destiny takes over and turn your life upside down. Nobody has an ability to change destiny but if we are aware of it we can find ways to live around and adapt to it. Most people grow up as over achievers and they live life for this lifetime only, without worrying about the future or the possibility of an after life. It is only when we experience major set backs in life that we start to look into spirituality and the way it affects us.

This threshold of a new beginning, what does it mean?

I will use my personal example on this one. Growing up I knew about ancestors but I had no idea that one day, I would become a spiritual healer. I do not consider myself special in any way now that I can connect with the ancestors but I still find it unbelievable that this is happening to me. I have learnt to accept my life now and am trying very hard to make the best of it. I had a job, I was working and took care of my family until the calling came and turned my life upside down. It was hard for me to understand and make sense of what was happening to me. Even though I accepted wholeheartedly, I still couldn’t believe it was happening to me. My life changed completely as I had to accept the new possibility of these forces that affect our lives everyday. I had to make sense of everything and had to make people understand what I was experiencing. I had dreams about my life then, but all of that had to be put on hold, all of a sudden. I had to start all over again and learn to live and be who I am meant to be. I am the kind of a person who likes to excel and be the best at each and everything I do. I like to take things seriously and elevate what ever I may be doing to greater heights.

Here, I was on a new spiritual journey unknown to me and the people around me. It was such a big challenge to me because as I was accepting it, I wondered, what more can I do on this field that has never been done before? I looked at everyone I knew who was doing this type of healing and I didn’t want to be like them. This was the time when I turned my full attention to God, the creator, almighty and our redeemer. I felt like I was born again and had to take on a new direction altogether. I accepted the change and prayed for nothing but wisdom. Wisdom to do and say the right things at the right time. I laid my life down before God and asked for him to guide me. In the beginning I was lost and had to make a lot of choices and decisions. In the end I realised that I had to listen to my inner self and trust that God will never leave me.

I did not ask for this calling to come to me and I do understand why my guides/ancestors would want to be cleansed so that they can move on in their journey. The process of accepting my guides took a while and when, it was done, I began to move forward on my newly found healing journey. I don’t know how many readings I have done to date and I don’t know how many peoples’ lives have been transformed through this encounter. Those that found the light and followed on instructions are much happier today. Today, I only help those who have serious problems and are committed to do something about their lives. In the past, I use to help everyone because I thought that was what a healer must do.

Later my guides came to me and told me that my purpose to set them free, had been met. It was time for me to move on and do what ever I wanted to do with these powers. It was up to me whether to continue healing or to may be go back to work and continue where I had left off. I made a choice to continue to help those who are in need, but under my own terms. The powers are within me and I don’t think they will ever live, so I decide to continue using the powers for the good. I understand that I am not God so I cannot be able to heal everyone who comes to me and be successful all the times. So I decided to take people who have potential to be healed. People who are matured and serious enough to make a difference in their lives. I figured I wasn’t going to waste my time and energy with people who do not understand God to start with. My aim is to make people realise that life can be unpredictable at times. It can take someone like me and change them into healers all of a sudden.

I did not have to go and train to do what I do. I had to learn on my own because my guides wanted to prove a point to everyone out there. They wanted to show people that we all have it inside each and everyone of us. We all can be whatever we want to be if we listen carefully to the powers that be and believe in ourselves. My guides wanted to take everyone back to God almighty. They wanted people to realise that being a healer means you are working with the miracle powers of God and there is no need to ask a lot of questions. As long as you believe and you do the right things God will give you miracles.

At the moment I am busy assisting those people who want to follow suit and help their guides/ancestors on their own. I am helping gifted people who want to satisfy the powers within them so that their lives can go back to a normal. I mean “ a normal” because may be we are headed to an era of new normal on this earth. When you are gifted people think you are not normal and yet we all have these powers within us, its just a matter of degrees that separate us. Sooner or later everyone will be aware of their own powers and may be we will stop talking about being normal and not normal.

A new beginning is a time when all people of the world realise that we are all the same in the eyes of the lord. When everyone is aware of the greater forces that are sending messages to us, trying to give us direction and guidance in our lives. I know that some people wonder why, I don’t like to call myself a sangoma or a makhosi or anything of that sort. I believe I am a spiritual medium because I help people connect with their loved ones who have passed over.

The spirits use my body to connect and tell you the state they were in and still are, during their time of death. I don’t call myself a sangoma because I do not rely on muti to do my work. I believe in connecting with the spirits and setting them free through the usage of prayer and acceptance. I believe that my powers come directly from God and for one to be healed successfully one has to accept God first.

My journey through spiritual healing has been one rough road because I had to change and or accept a lot of things about my newly found gift. It has opened my eyes to a whole new world out there that is working in conjunction with planet earth and is ready to be accepted by the living so that we can have harmony both in life and death.

The beginning will be when we start to accept this possibility and teach our children about these realities. We need to have a clear understanding of these powers and stop treating it as an African thing only because in actual fact it affect all of us all over the world.

It happened to me, I didn’t call it upon myself, I am continuing with life as normal as I can be. I am my happier self now more than ever before because I feel that I am in touch with my spirituality and living my life to the fullest.

When we dream…

When we dream we get different messages which can be confusing at times. At a young age we don’t worry about our dreams as much as we do when get older. This is because at an early age we don’t have a lot of life experience so even if we dream about significant things, it doesn’t really carry any weight. As we grow older and start to understand that our dreams may be telling us a story of our lives we begin to analyse them and it some instances it gets to a point where one goes overboard in pursuit of these messages.

The spiritual/ ancestral world has a lot to do with our minds as it only exists in the spirit form. So what ever you are going through is not seen or experienced by people around you, not unless they have some powers themselves. During this time you get messages from dreams and visions and these messages can be very useful when it comes to giving you direction. The dreams that we get during the time of initiation are a very sensitive matter, in that they should be treated and analysed with a certain amount of caution as they can be confusing at times. We should not take our dreams literally unless they come across as visions or they carry a logical meaning to our lives at that stage. I say this because you get people who live their lives relaying on dreams to give them direction and I find this disturbing because dreams come from a very complicated place that plays with our minds at times, hence we need to be very careful when analysing them.

Depending on your powers, sometimes you dreams about someone you are about to meet or someone you have just met. This means that the mind has an ability to connect with other peoples’ thoughts and feelings. If someone is thinking of you a lot, it affects you in that you also start to think about them so much that in believe in the connection the two of you have. Which is why newly found love can be so intoxicating at times. People start to believe that this is the real love but when it fades they get confused not knowing what happened to those feeling that seemed so real at the time. We dream about things that we think about a lot, things that happens during the day and things that touch our lives. Sometime we dreams about things that didn’t mean much to us but the mind takes note of such things and registers it in our dreams. We do not have control over what we dream or do not dream of. At times we dream about things we would rather not.

Dreams can carry you into a roller coaster mode and get you so hooked up in the events that you automatically become obsessed with that part of your life. The dreams that we get during the initial stages of our initiation must be treated in the most sensible manner because they come at a stage when one questions everything around them. During this time your mind is finding it hard to believe that the spiritual world really exists. Your mind is also revisiting a lot of other facts of life and trying to make sense of what is happening to you. Remember that at this stage you are asking yourself a lot of questions in your awake state and by the time you put your head on that pillow, you are already in the state of indecisiveness. It is at this time that your mind starts to play games with you. It gives you different options and scenarios in your sleep and make you choose your own destination. During your sleep, a stage play of your life takes place before your own eyes. You are given different possible directions and options including end results and consequences. When we are in dreamland we dream about things that are impossible in the real world. Some of us fly in our dreams and this means that your ancestors are in a stage of waking/rising up and will be giving more of their powers to you. This means that your powers are taking off, so its up to you to accept and follow the journey. They are just letting you know the potential you have in accepting the powers. It doesn’t really mean that you will be able to fly like a bird in real life, but it can mean that your powers can take you places if you follow their instructions and stay on the positive side of healing.

We then dream about our “enemies”. These dreams warn us about potential dangers in our lives. If someone doesn’t like you very much and they are casting negative energy/spells towards you, it does affect your aura. As they continue to have bad thoughts about you, you also pick up on them and start to feel uneasy about them. This is when you begin to think more about them and in some cases you become paranoid and obsessed with bad feelings towards someone. This gets into your system from your mind to an extent that you become physically sick. During this time you dream about this person and the bad things they are doing to you. At times you dream about the real things they have done to you like using muti or gossiping about you. Sometimes you will be given information in a form of a scenario, which will give a general outline to the amount of negative energy they have towards you. In this case you dream of things that are impossible in the real world e.g. you can dream of your enemy shooting you with a loaded gun, the bullets hit you but you don’t die. This dream is showing you that your enemy has deadly “thoughts” towards you but you on the other hand has very powerful guides who will protect you. From such a dream we need to extract the positive and move on without dwelling much on the enemy. Pray and be thankful for the protection you receive and stay away from the negative energy brought by the enemy.

When we dream about things we need to do in our lives… As we start on this spiritual journey we get different messages about the things we need to do and the rituals that will help us through. Dreams operate in the spiritual form so at times they can be exaggerated to emphasize their impact in our lives. I always say one must have a very strong support system in the form of a family at home or an honest, reliable friend who will help you stay grounded during this time. I say this because some of us are not strong enough to believe in themselves or to think things in a rational manner under these circumstances. Ancestors can tell you things to do in your dreams, they will guide and direct you and at the same time they will give you tests to prove yourself. At times they can even trick you just to weigh your progress in the training. The things that we need to do physically in our lives can be rituals that were ignored by our parents or certain traditions that we left undone in the past. All of these things are necessary to take you through to another level in your spiritual progress. The examples of these debts could be anything like, to accept ancestors (ukuvuma idlozi), to cleanse them, to initiate or enrol in a sangoma training program, to do thanksgiving ceremonies in appreciation of the life and families we are given or just to create a prayer place for the ancestors in your home. The question is, when do we take these dreams literally (or not?) Like I said before and I will always emphasize this until kingdom come, ancestors live in the spiritual world, earthly things don’t mean much to them so when we honour them we need to concentrate on the mind, feelings and the emotional side of things. For those people who can afford and they can go all out and do everything physically, its okay, it is their choice and they can afford it. But for those who are suffering as it is, they can’t even afford to go out there and seek help from a healer, it is very difficult to expect them to cover all the debts that were left out by many generations in the past.

An examples: Ancestors can come through and tell you they are hungry- this doesn’t mean you have to go and slaughter an animal. It means they are running low in their energy so you must find out what went wrong and what needs to be fixed. If you slaughter at this stage and invite a lot of people in the yard, ancestors do not accept it because they have no stamina to accept anything at that stage. When we do these things we need to be very logical in uniting these two worlds ( the ancestral and the real world). We need to find a common ground on which we can practice our rituals in a manner that is effective and relevant to both these worlds. Firstly if your ancestors say they are hungry, it means there is a reason why they are hungry so you need to give them something that can take them out of that state of hunger. If you offer them food without enticing them first, they will not be able to accept it. Ancestors have come through in the past and explained that as we do these functions and share food amongst ourselves, they are left to linger because they don’t even have an appetite to start with. And then you hear people saying that they have been doing rituals/slaughtering for ages so how can the ancestors come now and say they are hungry. When you slaughter you don’t actually feed the ancestors, you are just treating your guests to a feast. When you feed your ancestors you must know what they want and how can they receive it. People who have nothing are at an advantage these days when it come to honouring the ancestors because they do with what they have and it works very well. Before you can offer anything to hungry ancestors you must first cleanse them. This is done so as to take them out of their state and to get them ready to accept what ever it is we want to offer them. Most people complain that after doing a ritual/slaughtering things just take a turn for the worse and this does happen if you don’t cleanse your ancestors first. There is no way we can solve problems by spilling blood. We can only spill blood afterwards when things have come right and we are celebrating. After cleansing them you need to offer what they asked for. Say for instance they said they are hungry, now the question is how do we feed the spirit? Feeding your guests will not help your guides.

Now, you need to do an offering/ilati for your ancestors at your prayer place. This offering is a form of a healing process so you don’t need to invite people over. I always tell people that when you take pain killers for your headache you don’t invite guests to take or share with you, so why invite people when you heal/ sort out your ancestral problems? When doing this offering you must remember the things that ancestors need in order to get gain strength that will take them to a greater place on the other side.

Firstly, they need a loving heart from you, an accepting mind and a smell of greatness in the air. Ancestors gain a lot of strength from the smell of the incense and the smell of braai meat. This means you don’t have to slaughter at this stage as long as there is a smell of meat and incense at the prayer place. The other thing that will help you is to have traditional beer and a white piece of cloth to symbolise purity and prosperity. When you do your prayer you ask the ancestors to find a place in your heart, your prayer place and your home. You invite them to rejoice in your life and be a good spirit so they can move on, in their own journey. These debts we left behind by others and now they create a stumbling block for the ancestors but if you set them free they accept and move on, which means they start to sort out problems they had created for you in trying to get your attention. After doing such a ritual your ancestors will start to come in dreams and offer you advice where needed. In some cases they show themselves by making things a less difficult in your daily life. Changes may not be drastic but when you look back after a while you realise that your life becomes less stressful after accepting your guides. We do all of this based on a dream that said your ancestors were hungry, they needed a place and were feeling cold.

Some people will go all out and buy blankets, do functions or even build a house for the ancestors. This is all good if you can afford it but you must think carefully how much of this goes a long way and make a difference in the world of ancestors? Small gestures and a willing heart go a long way in helping our ancestors. When we go all out to please each other on earth, it remains just that and it doesn’t even begin to heal us.

The next time you dream, try and learn from it and please do not get carries away about dreams. Analyse them with a clear mind and learn something that will make you a better person in the future. What is important about dreams is the way you feel when you wake up. After having a significant dream, open your eyes and stay in bed for a while. Think about how you feel at that moment and capture those feelings. Be honest about it even if the feeling is not a good one. If you feel uneasy or angry remember that it is the purpose of that dream to bring out those feeling in you. If you feel happy, embrace and rejoice in the feeling. “Now, you can wake up and take on the real world”

Always remember to share your dreams with people you can trust, people who will support you in life no matter what. Some dreams can be very sensitive in their nature while others can be destructive if taken literally. Some dreams come to us as a warning for a period of difficulty ahead and this can not be avoided, one just need to prepare themselves.

People with a calling will have a lot of dreams about the sea, snakes or chanting. When the sea is dark and vicious it means your guides are angry they need your acceptance immediately. When the sea is calm and blue, it means your guides are at peace and so is your life. A dark coloured snake means your ancestors have become your own enemy so you need to accept them before they give you hardships in life, and a green snake means ancestral powers that are ready to be utilised in helping others. When one dreams of people chanting, it means that you must take up healing and become a healer(one way or the other).

When your dreams are nice and uplifting in the morning, it implies the state of your own life in general and when they are exhausting and giving you headaches it means just that.

How you feel in the morning determines your day ahead.

Dreams come to us for a purpose but we need to be clear about boundaries when it comes to analysing them.

I am sure by now you understand the significant commonalities between God and ancestors. They both operate in the spiritual form. We turn to God and ancestors for our prayers when we need help. Some of us do remember to send our gratitude and praises even when we rejoice, in our lives. Newsflash: God does not discriminate, and so does the ancestors.

People still find it hard to pray to God and the ancestors on the same prayer. This is because we have been told that our ancestors are demons who come back to disrupt our lives so they must be cast away and be forgotten. If this is true, why then do we suffer so much when we don’t listen to our ancestors, to such an extant that once you start to honour them your life goes back to normal and even better than before.

Going back to the similarities between God and the ancestors, I wish we can understand that the ancestors are there to protect and guide us but God is above us all, he makes that connection possible. If it wasn’t for God we wouldn’t be to dream when we sleep at night. The messages that we get in our dreams guide and warn us, and at times they are just mind games that need to be pointed out.

God is for the good and so are our ancestors. The difference between God and the ancestors could be that with the ancestors, they need us to set them free so that they can help us, but God is always there to guide, lead and protect us. For all of this to take place harmoniously we need to unlock and establish our relationship with our ancestors and then honour God as a creator who is above all things, living and dead.

I know that there are certain rituals which are performed by people doing ancestral ceremonies and these seem to clash with the bible and I accept that difference. For me doing ancestral rituals does not have to be something dramatic and horrific, one must be careful not to contradict the work of the Lord with human cultures which are designed to benefit only man(humans).

God does not discriminate so does our ancestors. God wants us to believe in him and do away with muti usage, so does our ancestors. God treats us all the same, male or female and so does the ancestors. Once we start to discriminate and put a lot of rules and regulations in the ancestral practice we then move away from that which is Godly and start to shift towards manly desires instead of focussing on the Lords way. As long as you know what God expects of us you will be able to do what is right when it comes to doing your rituals. (we will talk about the rituals some other time)

One thing that has been revealed to me ever since I started helping people was that my ancestors have a lot of similarities to what God stands for. They do not discriminate between male and female persons. Anyone can do what ever they want to do when ever they want. Any person has a right to do their own prayers without having to rely on others for this. As long as someone is old enough to burn impepho and say a prayer that person can carry on and perform their prayers should a need arises. If people decide to pray together as a family, the head of the family can lead a prayer but each and everyone of them must get a chance to say their prayer and ask for what ever they want as well.

Most healers will tell you that a woman may not do or lead ancestral prayers at home but if she is a sangoma this rule falls out. There are so many female headed families nowadays and the women do just fine raising kids just as men do, regardless of the challenges we are all facing in the world. My be in the past it was easy to discriminate women in this regard because female were lead by female guides so they were submissive. Today you get females who are lead by male guides, who can do just about anything they set their minds at. Women of today have more powers within themselves that it becomes a problem to try and put them down in any way.

Most male lead women have had a problem when doing the reading and their guides have come forward and told that they are tired of being oppressed emsamo. They demand freedom to be equal beings in the place of prayer. These situations have lead to a breakdown of communication in a lot of households and even breaking ups in marriages. Everyone is the same in the eyes of the ancestors and if we continue to oppress one another in this regard, it leads to breakdown of relationships in families.

The world is changing all around us and we need to adapt, move on and catch up. God has allowed for democracy to prevail in our country but we have not been welcoming of this democracy when it comes to other spheres of lives. This democracy was made possible by God, it should filter through our ancestors first before we can reap the total rewards from it. We have tried to make excuses so that we maintain our old ways of oppression in areas where we feel manipulation can still exist.

God wants us to do our own prayers and be accountable for our actions and so does the ancestors. You cannot rely on someone else to do a prayer for you unless that person is the one suffering because your burdens. What I am saying is that when the ancestors affect you, they talk to you or disrupt your own life. So when you start to honour them, you cannot now go and ask someone else to do these for you just because you are female and cannot be able to do these on your own. It has always been a problem to me as to why should women wait have a male figure in their lives for them to be able to pray and get through to the ancestors. These days women headed families have not choice but to do things by themselves and they are doing just fine.  When ancestors ask to be set free they actually mean freedom in all aspects of our lives. They want freedom in every sense of the word.

We need to get the information out there so that people can make their own choices and be accountable for it. In the past healers, never use to share anything when it comes to their work. This has lead to people believing that there is something special about being a healer but on the contrary being a healer means you are a servant of God. You need to relay constructive messages to the people and help them stay on the positive.

So if one is going to tell me that a woman cannot do certain things emsamo, when we are living in a world of democracy, I am going to tell them that I believe in the God of non- discrimination and my ancestors abide by all that is Godly.

We are all the same in the eyes of the lord.

What ever God does not allow, we cannot turn around and do it for the ancestors and claim to be children of God at the same time. And while we are on this ancestral journey, we need to make sure we do what is right with no exceptions. We need to have no fear of what other people say because they are trying to keep the ancestral revelations to themselves so that they can use it to their advantage.

Churches have done so well in the past because all the information is out there and is being relayed to people everyday. Healers must also do the same if they really want to help heal the people…

Set your spirit free…

Abaningi basuke bephila impilo enganelisi futhi engenayo injabulo ephelele. Lokhu kusho ukuthi basuke bengaphili impilo ababeyidalelwe uNkulunkulu.

Manje ke uma uqala welapha idlozi ukulesisimo kumele wamukele ukuthi impilo yakho izoshintsha njengomuntu ozalwa kabusha. Uma wenza konke ngendlela efanelekile impilo yakho isenokushintsha yonke ithathe indlela entsha.

Okunzima ke kubantu ukwamukela ushinstho nezinguquko. Okokuqala nje abantu abaningi abafuni ukuhlukana nomuthi, abakujwayele ukushisa impepho futhi abakwazi ukuhlanganisa idlozi noNkulunkulu emithandazweni yabo. Abanye abanayo idawo yokuthandaza- (umsamo-prayer place), futhi abanso isineke.

Isibonelo:

Owesilisa onobudlelwano obubi nowesimame wakhe, ulungisa idlozi. Owesilisa ungumuntu olungile kodwa uqinelwa owesimame futhi baxana njalo kodwa abahlukani. Ngisho umndeni usukhathela ukuxabana kwabo babuye babuyelane. Impilo imile, ngoba abashadi futhi owesimame akasebenzi. Owesilisa usothandweni kakhulu yize ehlukumezeka ngokomphefumulo. Ukuba kuya ngaye ngabe uyashiya kodwa unokwesaba.

Uma owesilisa esukuma elungisa idlozi lakhe kuyaye kube noshintsho kulobu budlelwano. Owesilisa uthola isibindi namandla okubona lo wesimame njengoba enjalo. Kusuka ingxabano bahlukane.

Emumva kwesikhathi owesilisa uhlangana nobambo lwakhe ngoba phela useyilungisile impilo yakhe yabuyela endleleni ayedalelwe yona, kwaze kwajabula nedlozi lamupha injabulo. Angeke siyithole injabulo ephelele nebusisekile uma sinagathokozisi abadala.

Uma wenza idlozi bese ubona sengathi kuyonakala kumele udle imihlathi ngoba ukuwa kwenye indlu ukuvuka kwenye. Yingakho ngihlale ngigcizelela ukuthi idlozi alelashwe umuntu onomqondo ophusile, umuntu ozimisele ukukhohlwa umuthi kodwa ozobambelela emandleni kaNkulunkulu ngoba phela uye kuphela ongasenzela imilingo.

Idlozi livamile ukuqeda ubudlelwano obungalungile. Kungaba yilobo obakhiwe, noma ubudlelwano ofakwe kubo yilo idlozi uqobo ngoba linolaka lifuna ukuthi uzwe ubuhlungu uma sebuphela lobudlelwano. Kwesinye isikhathi idlozi likupha okuhle ngoba lifuna ukukuphuca bese uzwa ubuhlungu uma ungumuntu ongalaleli futhi ongalenzeli elikudingayo.

Ngakho ke uma welapha idlozi kume uvumele ushinstho empilweni yakho ukuze usheshe uzuze.

All healers will tell you about the energy that affects them when they receive the calling. Once this energy is unlocked, it releases the healing powers that they use to help others. It is also well known that we are all surrounded by energy because we are all living beings. This energy is either good or bad.

I watched Oprah the other day and they spoke to a little boy who claims to be affected by negative energy. As from the age of four this boy started throwing a fit and having prolonged scenes of madness around the house. He wouldn’t listen to his parents and would get upset each time he was given an instruction. Mostly he would fight with his mom and threatens to kill her. He was later diagnosed to be suffering from some mental illness and is now on medication for this. The medication seems to have helped him a bit but, just by looking at him you can tell that he is affected by angry spirits.

So my question is, is it all in the mind?

While Oprah was talking to this boy, he said something that really caught my attention. I actually felt the hair at the back of my neck standing and I got shivers. The boy said that the only way he managed to fight the negative energy was through the use of white light/positive energy. He said that each time the negative energy approached him, he would pray and invite the energy of white light to protect him.

 I noticed that the boy used this technique despite the medication and counselling he was receiving. Even though the parents and everybody else believe in the medication, the boy insisted that it is his usage of the white light that has helped him.

All ancestors/spirits affect us in the form of energy. This energy is either good or bad (positive or negative)

Usually the energy is bad/negative because most people don’t acknowledge the ancestors until they experience problems. It is up to us to accept these powers and free them so that they can flourish to help us with our problems. This negative energy shows itself in different ways in our lives. When affected by negative energy you become unhappy and miserable.

Even though it is little boy who is sick, I think the mother should look at her own life and try to listen to what this negative energy is saying to her. When something about our children is making us unhappy, it becomes a problem which is directly intended at causing us heartache. If a child is getting out hand ,we should try and find the root cause of that problem instead of blaming it on peer pressure/ bad influence.

As a parent, if you didn’t accept your ancestors, you may encounter problems when it comes to raising your kids especially by the time they become teenagers. If may be you were stubborn and ended up ignoring them altogether, you might end up experiencing the same problems with your kids, only this time you would be on the receiving end. Your ancestors will say that since you didn’t listen to them, they will make you feel what its’ like to have kids who do not take any notice of you.

When the energy is positive, it means that the ancestors are happy with you. Once you have set them free, they start to change your life gradually until you attain the happiness you deserve in your life.

When the energy is positive, it becomes powerful and so strong that nothing stands in your way. This form of energy is amazing and it is what we all need to overcome challenges in our lives. Positive people are winners. Winners are positive people. They are overachievers and can change any challenge into victory. When you become positive your problems are automatically minimized, you look at life differently, and you never succumb to failure.

To be able to succeed in life, you need to be able to change something within yourself. You need to change the way you look at problems. You need to understand that your mind can play games with you, at times, so you must learn to return the favour. Tell your mind that, “ Yes, I can”. And before you know it your problems will be looking dim.

In the case where you are unable to do this on your own, you must someone to help you, in order to achieve this positive attitude. Find someone to connect you with your guides and follow their lead. Once you connect with them, they will give you a positive attitude that will take you through and lead you all the way.  

What we need is the connection to our spiritual existence and the rest is history.

Yes! It is all in the mind, for those who use medication and those who opt for ancestral rituals.

At the end of the day, it is the spiritual world that affect our lives and cause problems and dysfunction.

Which ever way you choose to sort yourself out, it doesn’t really matter.

 What matters is that: At the end of the day, we are all talking about the same thing, energy which is either positive or negative….

The choice is yours…..
