Global Healing
Global Healing by Iyalode Yeyefini Efunbolade
In the reading/forecast of the year for the World 2010 conducted by Yeyefini it states …
“We must find global solutions rather than think of ourselves as separate groups because we all face the same challenges and we’re all looking for peace in our lives.”
To achieve global healing here are some suggestions for monthly full moon spiritual ceremonies. Each month contains the name of a spiritual energy know as Orisa in the Ifa/Lucumi/Candomble spiritual system of the Yoruba people of Nigeria, West Africa.
