2012 Reading of the Year for the World , US and African Americans

#1 – 2012 Reading of the Year for the World
By Iyalode Yeyefini Efunbolade, President of Yeyefini.com / Balanced Living, Director of the International Institute of Afrikan Studies & Knowledge, Inc.

Ruling odu: 8 – 10

This is a year when we have to keep our heads very cool. We can be very successful in the area of taking risks, metaphysical work and progress financially, just remember and use the talents and skills we have to re-invent our selves

Do rituals to the ocean for Yemonja and Olokun.

Yoruba practitioners are recommended to get a little net. If you have Olokun put it on Olokun, if not put it to Elegba. Periodically clean yourself off with the net. Periodically take the net to the ocean, drag it in the sand and water, and take what it drags up to do ebo. Ask if you should keep it in your house, bathe with it etc…

The world leaders will be challenged to make decisions with clear heads.

Continue to pray for President Obama and high officials so that they have the loyalty and support of people with cool heads around them.

People will have the tendency to be more optimistic than last year and should use this optimism to get involved in the political process of their nation.

Prayers on the full moon for our leaders can be very effective.

There may be instances where women will come under attack.

We must do more volunteering and philanthropic work so we’ll be a part of the global healing and appreciate our connection to one another.

Leaders should be careful of being videotaped and recorded; the statements made could be detrimental to them.
Take care of the ancestors, especially the male ancestors. Ask them to give us assistance in helping the world to heal.

#2 – Reading of the year for the US
By Iyalode Yeyefini Efunbolade, President of Yeyefini.com/Balanced Living, director of the International Institute of Afrikan Studies & Knowledge, Inc.

Odu: 7 – 6
The President has to really focus on internal affairs if he is to win this election.

Everyone living in the US needs to recommit to the success of this nation and to the blessing of living in this country.

When we don’t recognize the blessing we run the risk of recognizing it in retrospect.

We must teach our children national pride and family history.

Everyone needs to be involved in the political process because it has value globally, nationally and individually.

We have to hold ourselves accountable in our actions because we could lose the thing that is valuable to us as Americans. People come from other countries and take advantage of opportunities people born here take for granted. It’s time to reconnect to how many more opportunities are available to us.

Send President Obama healing energy to help him connect to his ancestor. Send prayers, Reiki… so he can make decisions to keep America and the world successful with global challenges.

#3 – 2012 Reading of the Year for African Americans and the Diaspora
By Iyalode Yeyefini Efunbolade, President of Yeyefini.com/Balanced Living, director of the International Institute of Afrikan Studies & Knowledge, Inc.
Ruling Odu: 10 – 4
3 – 8 ire
8 – 6 aiye
7- 6 mojale

Honor the ancestors with celebrations in our families and communities.

Periodically when you are eating put some food aside on your plate or on the mantel and invoke the ancestors.

Feed the earth food from your plate.

Feed the earth, the ocean, and ancestors often. For success in the African American and Diaspora community feeding the earth, the ocean and the ancestors in that order can be very beneficial.

Be respectful of elders.

Take care of your ancestor shrine consistently to help strengthen the family and your family values. Those who don’t have a shrine can pay homage in some way to your ancestors, for further information you may purchase the Household Guide for Yoruba Spiritual Wellness by Yeyefini from her website www.Yeyefini.com.

This year every family should consider getting a spiritual consultation on the spiritual dynamics and energy of the family. This is an opportunity to know the power and legacy of your ancestors.

There may be some type of memorial established for African Americans this year.

Consider taking the family especially the children to see the Martin Luther King memorial in Washington D.C. because it represents freedom for everyone and it shows the power of the spirit of the things that can be accomplished when people come together as one.

Connect to the value of family traditions so you don’t lose your heritage. Make projects out of old traditions to teach your children.

Honor and worship Oshun.

Value and enhance your marriage and love life this year. Create your own traditions.

Don’t be distracted by negative displays of sexuality this year.
