In Ifa Spirituality, the Ori is known as our head. You do not have to be initiated into Ifa in order for you to strengthen your Ori every morning. The Ori holds the blueprint for your life. This includes your soul purpose, lessons, gifts, etc.. It is very important that you be in alignment with your Ori so that you can live your best life. When you are not receiving blessings, you need to pay attention to your Ori. Once you begin to pray over your Ori, blessings begin to come.
