A ray of light begins to open the sky. The darkness of the night wanes. Spiritually, at this hour bright energies from many different realms are descending upon Earth. Some may call them “angels” others refer to them as “deities”. It is the job of these energies to be among us as the day breaks, and so it is crucial for every human being to understand that this -this very moment- is a special time for us.
The vibration and frequency of sound and telepathy are at it’s highest range just before the sun lights the day. Many people do not know how to begin their day spiritually, and if it is even possible at all. How we begin our day is often a rare thought. Most of us simply wake up and get to work! Or awaken to daily unfulfilling routines, almost always forgetting the spirituality of the day ahead. The time between getting out of bed and beginning your day is crucial and sets the tone not only for the day but for the week or more. What I will teach you was taught to me many years ago by nonphysical beings who would wake me at 5:30 in the morning to pray. Some of what I will share was also taught to me by my mother, and at the time, I had taken this information for granted. But as I grew to become who I am, I now realize that what she handed over to me was priceless and so I will hand it over to you all.Spiritual Things to do to Start Your Day
1. Get Naked
As the sun rises, find the East and face the stream of its light while bare and pray. Avoid pleading prayers such as “Lord please,” or “I beg…” Pleading is a prayer without belief or intention and only implies that you believe there is a possibility that you will not receive what you desire. Replace “pleading” prayers with affirmative prayers, such as “I will,” or “I am“. Affirm not only for yourself but for your loved ones and the world at large.
See this post on how to affirm your prayers! Before your affirmations, pay your salutations. For example, “I salute the sun which rises to meet me this morning, alive and well. I salute my mother, I salute my father, I salute my ancestors, I salute my head (your inner consciousness or higher self).” Then follow these salutations with your own affirmations.2. Let Something Physical Represent Something Spiritual
If you are the kind of person that awakes expecting a bad day because of something or someone (boss? co-worker? long drive?), or if you are the kind of person that has trouble remembering your spiritual commitments, choose something you see every day and redefine it by giving it a spiritual meaning. Seeing: Your window plant: Reminder to pray A stop light: Reminder to be grateful The neighbor you hate: Reminder to help someone today For instance, use the sun as a reminder to practice gratitude. Every morning as the sun shines, you will remember to be grateful for at least 1 thing in your life. Or if there is a job that makes you unhappy, use that job to represent a spiritual commitment. Before you enter the job in the morning, use that moment to envision yourself in a “perfect world”. In that world, where do you feel you belong? Maybe you’re married with children, or maybe you’re traveling the world, whatever it is – use that “terrible job” to become your reminder to begin creating the reality you deserve.3. Stretch!
When we stretch in the morning, it allows the spirit which traveled during the night, to fuse once again with the physical body, creating a union once again. Now, according to science, we stretch because“…Aside from feeling good, it actually does help to wake you up. Stretching works to increase flexibility and range of motion in the muscles and joints. It also improves circulation and relieves tension.” – livestrong.comBut as science gives us the “physical” answer, it is unaware of the spiritual answer. When we look at yoga, it is defined as “…that which brings you to reality,” as the word literally means “union”. So stretching in the morning does “wake you up” but not only because of your muscles and joints but because it fuses your spirit with your physical. Every time we sleep, we astral project. Our spirit travels out of the body and into the realms. Here, we experience things and places, receive messages, attend meetings, and even battle. So when the spirit returns to the physical body, you may wake to feel very tired. So stretch as much as you can! You will realize that by the end of the day, that sluggish feeling you return home with after a long day, will never return again.
Note: We experience jet lag for the same reason we stretch. Whenever we travel from one place to another, regardless of transportation (drive, flights, or even sleeping and traveling out of the physical body), the spirit returns back to the body days after the physical has arrived. The spirit is multidimensional and can be in more than one place at once. This is what we refer to as “jet lag” or “sluggishness”, a lack of complete spiritual fusion.
4. Meet with Water
This meeting is more important than meeting the President. “Meeting with water” simply means clean, clear, water meeting the physical body in any way. You’re not only cleansing your physical body, you are also refreshing your spirit. When you meet with water, reaffirm your affirmations! You have already affirmed to the sun, now have your meeting with water. These are two powerful elements that meet every single human being on Earth. Do you wish someone would call you? Do you desire a good day with someone in particular? Whatever it is that you need, whatever it is that you desire to make your day a good one, use water as your “postal service.” Deliver your message to this element and you’ll be very surprised.5. And finally, Don’t Forget the World
Humans can be selfish, but we are not alone in this world. Use the powerful hours of the morning to create a better Earth. Giving and being of service is an essential source of happiness and can start your day with this comforting feeling. You may think that as an individual, you lack the power to change the world, but in actuality, 1 prayer can save 100 lives. An utterance is powerful, especially in this morning hour. The Universe longs for humans to understand that we have the power to help each other and help ourselves. Never forget the world, it is our home. We are all apart of each other, not apart from each other. We are here to serve each other.

- Before leaving your house, just before you shut the door, utter these words: “Let me come back and see everything as it is supposed to be. Keep disasters away.” Tell your spirit guides to protect your home while you are away.
- Practice your morning rituals before speaking to anyone as you wake! Let your first words be of spiritual use. This first utterance gives immense power to the spirituality of what you intend to use it for.
- Stay positive! Always know that there is absolutely nothing without solution and nothing that happens without reason. If you embrace your spirituality, know that there is nothing beyond your reach. A positive mind projects a positive reality. There really isn’t a “worse that can happen” unless you believe there is. It all starts with you.

Blessings!

First, After reading this post, i have included this affirmation method of praying and not begging and… Read more »
Great rituals. I have been doing this for 10 days now and I’m seeing and feeling things. And i always put you in it Ma’am Obara. Thanks for your priceless teachings which are free. May you and yours be blessed all round. Iba Obara Meji… Ase Ase Ase!!!
The other morning before I saw this I was in bed and didn’t want to wake up and I felt the stretch coming on and I couldn’t stop it and as soon as I felt it I knew to myself damn it (really said the F word) I’m up now. A neva waa wake up yet mi did a feel depress and is like mi spirit sey no girl gal u haffe git up we have Obara post dem fi go read. and work fi go do …. but now I know the spirit was probably coming back at that… Read more »
Wow! The more I read the more I learn the more I share the more I get back! Thank you Obara you are the filler of my cup! I have never know to do these things and now that I do I will. I just have one question. What do you mean by meeting with water. How do I reaffirm my affirmations with water. I don’t have a pool and I don’t live near the beach. Can you give me an example of something I can do. I really want to get this right. Cause I’m up after 2am then… Read more »
Meeting with water when you shower, brush your teeth, drink water, or “meet” with water in any way. You use that opportunity to reaffirm your affirmations to water or pray to it.
Reading your post always uplift my spirit. Thank you Obara.
Who’s seen the “All the Stars” music video with Kendrick Lamar and SZA? OMG Obara! African spirituality is reaching pop culture! What a time, IT’S BEAUTIFUL! I AM SOOO PROUD!!!
Reggae which spawned rap and all other sounds of music, with sound and beat all came from Africa the continent where civilization began. Not a S*@t Hole place, but a place of beauty that spawned All of us, regardless of race. We all came from Africa.
I always look forward for a new post from you and this one is an eye opener.
Though l have a tradition of getting up before 6a.m in the morning to pray, but the prayer of affirmation l will put into practice.
Thank you for your teaching. May you abundantly be blessed in every sphere of life. Ase
ase o!
I read this post and started applying this practices some days have been good but it’s hard to break out of old habits I tend to greet my husbands once I’m awake. I am learning to wake up quietly and apply these rituals. During one of my readings, you told me that I am linked to the water realm so I give special respect to the water. I have included in my morning ritual feeling a bowl with water and doing my affirmations over it then leaving it in my bedroom. On days that I follow a morning ritual my… Read more »
and blessed I shall remain!
I have morning rituals that I’m so not consistent with but after reading this post I will try to get my life back on track. Everything just seems so chaotic right now but “Thank You God” has been my waking up routine. I really need to dedicate the time time to fix myself. Oldayo once told me that I can achieve anything I set my mind to I don’t know what he sounds like but I can hear him saying it to me especially in times like these when I don’t feel good enough. Thank you for this blog Obara,… Read more »
you are welcome Owasinda!
halo Yeye, thanks maa’ma, i started this exercise today and the experience was great. it was so refreshing, i feel anew and a pure surge of energy. this gift of knowledge to us is indeed a secret gold which is scarce which most learned spiritualist won’t share this openly and specially but you chose to give us on a platter of love. I receive grace to be consistent and steadfast in this path you are leading us.
testimonies are encouraged, thank you Adunni
Morning ES.
O….Muah.
Hailings to all those that I don’t see.
Hello Cami, nice to see you here today!
Big hugs to my spiritual teachers and my ES family. Ma- I have learnt something significant today “Practice your morning rituals before speaking to anyone as you wake! Let your first words be of spiritual use. This first utterance gives immense power to the spirituality of what you intend to use it for.” The post has encouraged me to make more of an effort to start my day in a spiritual way.
You’re awesome Ma- thank you. Stay blessed.
Where have you been young lady? Nice seeiyou here today,
Love and light Ma.
Last couple of days have been a bit busy. The post came right on time for a lot of us, helping us get through the school of life. Thank you universe- much love to everyone.
@SeaQueen I have been to the bottom of the river before, there was no water there we were in a room (I have written this before on the blog). The room seemed clinical, magnificently clean and there were silver drawers like they have in morgues. I was on a gurney, silver with wheels of course, and there were two women there, who looked like the figures of the Taino people (except these were two women) people on our Jamaican coat of arms. By this I mean complexion and the darkness and texture of the hair, except the hair was waist… Read more »
Sounds so mystical. Do you feel you will ever remember what you saw or do you believe you won’t ever remember while you are in this realm? Did you hose down the yard because some bad energy was left there?
What they taught me is within me and surfaces when I need it. I hosed the yard down for many reasons, too many to share here
@SeaQueen A fear of water (not de kind of not loving to bathe or brush teeth), but feeling like you may drown while taking an ordinary shower, or an eerie feeling upon arriving at the river or the ocean or any body of water, is a big indication that you are from the water. The same goes with other elements. Water people are very well plugged to their realm and they know it. Sea Queen, upon you opening your eyes at the first light of day, their your day begins, use the tools I have given you. If you want… Read more »
To be honest, I’ve never thought about how water affects me so deeply as far as my enemy having a fear of drowning. When I’m at any body of water there is a mix between peace and fear but I will dive in head first anytime. Good to know. I will reread the steps and adjust them accordingly setting my alarms for prayer and reflection. I grew up wondering why the Muslims that owned the 99 cents store always shut down for prayer at a specific time each day and now I fully understand.
Good morning mums and ES family! First let me say, I love the new site interactivity with the tweeting and the polling and bare tings! I love to see when things grow and bloom and my dear O this site has done just that and helped all of us bloom as well. I can’t say thank you enough. Now to the post. I have noticed the effect water has on my life since joining the blog. Every time I shower I fall on my knees and just pray for everyone and what I see (in the spiritual sense) as their… Read more »
Dear Obara, you are priceless. Thanks for this one again. You always seem to write on matters that are present in my subconscious mind. You are just awesome. you embody a mother figure to someone like me who has lost mine. I also believe that my late mother’s eleda was part of the guide that led me to find you. She had answers to many of these questions when she was alive and almost everyday I miss her so much but your blog is a motherly guide to me just as my mom would have given. Thank you so much!… Read more »
My darling Adunni, I am Yeye Osun’s representative in every way. The red woman feeding her child on the blog is exactly how I feel when writing here and sharing what I know with you all. Chronological age does not matter with spirituality. I am a mother of four that I have that came from me biologically and a mother to any and everyone who sees me as such, I accept. Osun the deity is a mother, and whatever she is, I am also. So my dear, look to me as you will, I am that person in your life.… Read more »
You are who you are yeye, you are deep, you are kind, you are love, you are sent, your words are always spot on. you just said ( (own your power, discover your life, face challenges and overcome), I’ll try so much even more. Since I found you, my life has not been the same anymore, I’m becoming wise, I’m waking and waking, I’m getting spiritual again and loving. I pray all of my life puzzles fall in place and I pray I can be able to find you soon too. ore yeeye o, funfun ni o,you are indeed from… Read more »
I will pass your message onward Adunni. I do not know why he retired, perhaps he had no idea of the impact he was making on other people lives. But I am happy that one returned to say “thanks”. We are all here to serve each other regardless of thanks, (although appreciation does encourage us to step out further). People are generally unappreciative and my guess is that is how he was feeling, he did not say. He is young however and at least he did make a difference for a time in many people lives while he was here… Read more »
Thanks for the open invitation. it means so much to me. it’s a beautiful feeling to have some with God. You are one with God for me Yeye, May you and your children be richly, abundantly and excellently blessed in all that pertains to good life and godliness. (Ashe)

Hi Marjorie
Obara that was a very interesting blog. This help for those who had forgot to do something beautiful in the morning. .great job.
Love and light
hey Lucinda
Hello Obara. These simple, practical routines that you give us are some of my favorites because it’s easier to stay consistent. I remember you teaching us this in one of the earlier classes and I have mostly stuck with it a lot but not everyday. Thank you.
Aisha 😈 :silly: ((((((((hugs)))))))))
Woi Obara!!! Before I say anything let me just say that when I voted in the poll the option I chose said 11.11% and the time on my phone’s clock read 1:11pm 😐 The thing with me is that I do not have a regular sleep pattern and it tends to change if I am awaken before my time to wake up. Is there any chance that should I tend to go bed in the 5 – 6 am range that I can do my affirmations before I go to sleep? Thank you very much for tip no. 2 as… Read more »
A very great Haitian Spiritualist taught me something when I was very young, his name was Mr. Pierre. He has gone on to work in the other realms, but I will share it with you Mike and everyone. He told me that setting a particular time everyday, the same time to pray or affirm will certainly bring your wish to fruition. You must however be consistent, meaning doing it at the same time, there is another part to this so email me for the next part. This is a really BIG power that I am handing over to you all.… Read more »
Thank you for the response Obara.
Good morning Obara happy new year to you and the blogger I enjoyed reading your post I have always learn a lot from you reading your post up lift my spirit thank you so much far your post have a bless day
Thank you Obara I will incorporate your advice. Some of these things I already do… I love getting up early… to pray, meditate, do things in silence. How I start my morning sets the tone for the rest of my day. I feel empowered and more mental clarity. I love the sound of the water running… I know it wasteful, but I do it unconsciously… it’s soothing and I daydream. I guess this well help me to manifest my hearts desires.
I feel so bad…is wah kind a waking up mi going on wid? Bere Whatsapp and Instagram Mi nah lie, I was a bit hesitant to read the post as I thought the lesson/steps would be complex an have mi a gwan wid a bag a tings inna di early mawnin when mi a try avoid traffic. But mi like dis, I can do this…simple and practical and mi sleep naked suh mi off to a good start 🙂 A competent spiritualist (aka Obara Meji) once gave me a ritual that had me up early (well mi usetuh jump up… Read more »
You are welcome my dear. Bout hesitant!
Good morning Obara My affirmations are spoken every morning. I just stood and stretched even though I have been awake awhile. It was needed and so it will be added to my morning ritual. Thank you Teacher! You keep on teaching sister and we are here to receive. May you be replenished for all you pour out! ASE ASE ASE!
I humbly receive KB
Obara you know I stretched and immediately my shoulders felt better. Just wanted to come say thanks again for sharing your knowledge and letting you know when I implement your teachings it assists me. Whether physically, spiritually or emotionally.
Good morning Obara,
Happy new year. You captivated me this morning. Thank you for your wonderful words of wisdom. Sometimes we ask for signs and God answers in misterious ways. This was exactly what I needed this morning. I’ve been having a few ruff weeks at my new job and your post just opened my eyes to why certain things happen.
I will be following your advice to a T.
Many thanks for the many life lessons you have taught us all. Keep up the good work and never you dare ever change.
Your comment means a lot to me Nordette. Thank you
Thank you for this post. I’ve been practicing a lot of these things with my son since he was born. Now at 5 I’m always impressed to hear him salute the sun every morning and speak his positive affirmations when alone without prompting. So question, I was not taught any of this but I am knowing, how so? Even as a child people asked me and still ask why my natural rhythm is so Attuned with the earth and the sun’s rising and falling? No matter where I am in the world I rise before the sun for what I… Read more »
