Exercise: Clearing Your Orishas
With Poetry
How can you safely employ a bit of this ancient knowledge
for yourself? Start by closing your eyes and breathing deeply
before selecting a specific challenge. Ask the Divine to give
you a spiritual healing guide for this process.
Ask that this healer assess your ori, the spiritual soul of
your being, next revealing which orisha is most affected
by the causes of your situation. What natural law has been
broken? What is this ailment or challenge trying to teach
you? When you feel ready to shift your consciousness, ask
the healer to help you remember, write, or find a poem in the
next couple of days—a poem that will both reveal your issue
to you and reflect the necessary and transformational truth.
Thank this being and the Divine for this personalized help
and return to your day.
Oya orisha: Seventh chakra
The guardian of the cemetery, winds of
change, and progression, Oya is usually
found with Shango, who allows the old
to die so they can initiate rebirth. The
area served includes the lungs, bronchial
passages, and mucous membranes.

What I've learned in writing this
book—this time—is that no matter the
culture, chakras are portrayed as essential
components of our being. They enable
us to be fully human. They invite us to
be divine. And they create within our
soul a space in which to be both.
