Ifá teaches you that the world is not always as it seems and more profound influences are often at play. Ifá ushers you through the thin veil of awareness, offering you a deep, intuitive understanding of the Universe and a heightened awareness of secret or hidden information.
Ifá says that during this year, for some of you, the veil between you and the spirit world is thin, and you have the opportunity to access the knowledge deep within your soul. Make time to be still so you can tune in to your intuition. The answers you are seeking will come from within, from your deepest truth and ‘knowing’. Allow the Orisa Osun to become your guide as you venture deep into your subconscious mind and access this inner wisdom. Connect with your intuition and your Higher Self through meditation, visualization, and being part of spiritual communities.
Allow your intuition to assist you to become more in touch with your subconscious mind. Knowledge of how to fix these issues will not come through thinking and rationalizing, but by tapping into and trusting your intuition, so allow yourself the time and space to meditate and attend to your inner voice. Look for areas in your life that may be out of balance or lacking ‘flow’ and ease.
This will also be a year of heightened intuitive ability and psychic insight. If you are developing these skills, Ifá offers you further encouragement to continue your journey and trust that you are on the right path. The more you listen to your intuition, the more it will flow.
If you are curious about whether you have what it takes to achieve your aim or complete an important project, Ifá says you will be successful so long as you keep your focus and remain confident in your abilities. You need to use your willpower and self-discipline to concentrate on the task at hand. You can’t cut corners or take the easy route, or you will fail. Instead, see this endeavor as a test of your strength and conviction, and recognize that victory is within reach, but it’s up to you to follow through.
Ifá says that this year will bring the end of a major phase or aspect of your life that you realize is no longer serving you, opening up the possibility of something far more valuable and essential. You must close one door to open another. You need to put the past behind you and part ways, ready to embrace new opportunities and possibilities. It may be difficult to let go of the past, but you will soon see its importance and the promise of renewal and transformation. If you resist these necessary endings, you may experience pain, both emotionally and physically, but if you exercise your imagination and visualize a new possibility, you allow more constructive patterns to emerge.
The year 2022 will be a year of significant transformation, change and transition. You need to transform yourself and clear away the old to bring in the new. Any change should be welcomed as a positive, cleansing, transformational force in your life. The death and clearing away of limiting factors can open the door to a broader, more satisfying experience of life.
Ifá says that during this year you need to learn to let go of unhealthy attachments in your life to pave the way to a fuller, more fulfilled life of deeper meaning and significance. Ifá teaches you to let go of outworn and outgrown ways of life and to move forward from them. This is a perfect year to break a bad habit or pattern of behavior. See this year as a time to cut out excess and let go of what is unnecessary for your life. Purge the old belongings, memories and baggage that are getting in your way.
You may be projecting fear into your present and your future, based on your past experiences. You may have a painful memory that caused emotional distress, and rather than dealing with the emotions you pushed them down deep into your subconscious. Now, these emotions are making a reappearance, and you may find yourself under their influence on a conscious or subconscious level. For example, if you had a car accident when you were young but didn’t deal with the emotions, you may get sad or anxious every time you get into the backseat of a car. To remedy this, connect with your subconscious mind and release any fears or anxieties holding you back. Ifa Divination and Ebo work can support this process.
Ifá says that some of you may experience uncertainty and illusion; when nothing is what it seems. Be careful of making fast decisions during this year because you may later realize you only had half the information you needed. You need to listen to and trust your intuition so you can see beyond what is in front of you. Use your feeling to guide you through situations rather than thinking what they mean. Let go of your conscious mental blocks or negative self-talk and allow your intuition to guide you. Your dreams, intuitions and inner guidance lead you forward toward higher levels of understanding if you listen and use your judgement to help interpret the messages of the subconscious.
Ifá says that during this year you need to connect with the divine feminine and uncover deep intuitive insights and visions of what lies beyond everyday life. Pay close attention to the lunar cycles and attune to its divine power using ritual, visualization or Ifá readings. On the New Moon, set your intentions and plant the seeds of opportunity so they can grow. And on the Full Moon, honor your achievements and look at what you need to release so that new aspects of yourself can shine.
During this new year you need to rely on your inner your strength to give you the confidence to overcome any growing fears, challenges or doubts. Feel the fear and do it anyway! If you have been going through a rough time and are burnt out or stressed, Ifá encourages you to find the power within yourself to persevere. You have what it takes to see situation through to its eventual end during this year.
