I prefer to be in solitude when doing Im my spiritual cleansing and praying . I am draw to the ocean, Cleanses, candles, and crystals. I believe in Jesus Christ. I am an empath, and I have warning dreams. I do believe my ancestors are leading me. I just do what feels right. I love your videos.

My spiritual path was already laid out for me, I am grateful to my ancestors for waking me up

My Buddhist journey lead me right to Santísima Muerte. I have natural gifts I hated because I couldn’t control them. It made sense for me once I began learning about her, I was always seeing spirits and really enamored with the Goddess Hel.

I enjoy all the elements Air , fire , water and earth . I enjoy being outside with my spirits I enjoy taking cleansing baths I enjoy candle magic and I enjoy incense and burning sage . When I miss a day when I’ve not done at least one of these I feel like I’ve missed something and spirit let’s me knkw by tapping me on the shoulder . Spirit now surrounds my home and my children. They tell me they feel my grandmother near them when they pray . We have an altar in our home for her and we honor her daily . Thank you for this video .

EXACTLY! theres no rule that says you cant practice more than one thing.

When I talk to Elegua I feel so at comfort. And I get a higher vibe and giving Elegua his gifts . I feel good in a spiritual way.

Am living alone in the mountains ⛰am so happy

I love being who I am ,I taught myself ,it just happened , I’m psychic , now learning witch craft xxx

I love Ifa for my Ori for leading me to the light. Ori Yeye Osun has always been sweet to me. My spirit/ Ori with Esu The community is the root for me. Asé

You absolutely exude positive energy and light and it starts with that big, warm, welcoming smile! Love your videos! ✨🧿💖

Really enjoyed this. Something we have in common is Buddhism. Although I’m interested & involved with African Spirituality & Hinduism…I always fallback to daily yoga/meditation & dharma. Grew up in the Baptist church, so always have this connection with Christianity, especially the Ethiopian mystic connection.

Thank you high priestess. This info helped a ton. I didn't have any guidance going into my journey and it's never to late to ask for it.

Yes... this is a conversation that needs to be had

Who I am at my core self is someone that deliberately refuses to choose one and only path. I’m like a lone wolf. I’m extremely introverted and private. I believe in Omnism. I am dedicated to creating an extremely unique and custom path incorporating things from multiple different cultures and styles. The only thing I’m interested in is a general spiritual guide or mentor to teach me the things that I shouldn’t learn by myself so that I don’t make harmful mistakes.

I loved this video. Thank you! As someone who has had no guidance in the spiritual realm, I love that you said “ you can be anything and combine anything you want” ( paraphrasing here ) as I always mix so many things - whatever FEELS right for me really! But this has been a question I had on the back of my head - Am I all over with my spirituality ?” 😊 glad to hear I am not. I work alone in the solitude of my room where I feel the most safe and peaceful. I see my spiritual practices as a form of self care, as my practices have been born and evolved out of the necessity to protect myself and keep myself sane. You see, I have been energetically attacked all of my life. Mainly psychically by ppl’s evil eye, constant gossiping about me, bad intentions and envy from the closest ppl in my life. Because I was extremely naive and only saw the good in everyone, I was very susceptible to allowing in energies that harmed me. Thank God for this gift of KNOWING that is undeniable. Since I can remember I have always been aware of the energies around me, and although I was never taught self protection and therefore I absorbed so much toxicity from the ppl I kept in my life, this pushed me to have consistency and self discipline. I am an empath, a clairvoyant and a self taught tarot reader. I use my spirituality to stay connected to source and now to protect myself and keep a clean energetic body as much as I can. I started with lighting candles, buying crystals and believe it or not, using the element of water to balance my “out of wack”energies, as I could feel a sense of being dirty energetically speaking. As I grew more into my practices, I realized why I had the NEED to wash my hair EVERYDAY ( which is not good for my thin hair ) but that was my way to clear the constant psychic attacks. Now, I still use water, but my need to clear my crown chakra has diminished the more I have cut toxic ppl out of my life. The more I have grown spiritually, the more I have learn to incorporate candle magic, candle reading, tarot, crystals , incense and now herbs. What’s beautiful about all of this, is that I am my own magician and at the end of my rituals I FEEL peaceful, supported and connected with a higher source; with God. Blessings to all reading this and in search for what works for you in your own spiritual path. Lastly, que viva Puerto Rico y nuestra sangre negra !!!! I can’t leave out my love for Yemaya, reverence for the Ocean and MUSIC!!! Amo los tambores🪘 y mi música africana .

OF COURSE WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR STORY... as much as you're willing to share...

Your ancestors, those powerful women who came before, have blessed you with beautiful skin. When I see you, I see all of them. Love your videos! Cathy

I agree. The path chooses you.

I rarely leave comments. Lol but I love your HAT!

I love working with the spiritual path, whether its researching, advise, healing, travelling, during keep-fit...I treat everything as a positive spiritual awareness with the Divine Ancestors, spirit guides etc and would love to learn more on what really works for who I am. Ase 🙏 P.S I wish I was in the US to pass round your shop instead of online. One day.

Yes when I did my DNA, I started looking that direction. Although I believe that a thread flows through all spiritual aspects.

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Wherever we feel comfortable and we are growing, who cares what people or family think!

Yes I would definitely like to know how you started your journey....❤️❤️❤️

The path definitely chooses us :)

Wow...this was the perfect video I needed to see. I'm a natural born healer but I didn't understand my gifts from TMH until now. Thank you!

Application...this touched me so much. I was watching another video (months ago) with a Taoist priest explaining the iChing and I will never forget his words...'it's not your tools it's your cultivation'...the most profound statement for me. This video has brought me back to that statement. Thank you for the lesson. :)

I started my spiritual journey about a year and half ago ..

Hello from the Northern Mariana Islands! I started my spiritual journey just under a year ago and this channel has been such an invaluable resource to me since the beginning. Thank you Elemi and your team for all that you do. It is truly a gift.

Awesome video Elemi...I love your beautiful energy ❤💐💐

Much appreciated thank you for sharing 😊

How do you go about finding a mentor on the ATR path? bc that's been a real challenge for me

Sharing you with eye 15yr old granddaughter

I love this lady, she taught me well

I love your blue heart Elemi. 💎🥇💕😘

On a path since 10, by myself needing answers. I love bells, sun, my crystals on a string, turquoise, plants, prayer and God. I love all religions and people. Never liked the dead that visited growing up. Grand mother said to just say go they way. I am 50 now. Meet my mom in 01 and the story goes she and my grandmother and great grandmother has the same issue. and was told embrace it ugh. I am figuring everything out by watching your videos. My ancestral back ground is African, Irish, and Indigenous North and South American. You are helping so much. Many Suns and Moons to you.

This makes me feel nervous. However, yes! I’ve had my DNA done, I have African roots and most importantly I’ve seen enough signs to know that I am on the correct path. Most recently something kept calling me to PR. I needed to recalibrate my soul. I experienced a lot of death in my life. My father and uncle (his brother) were from Aguadilla. Something drew me to Aguadilla. I felt such comfort sitting on Crash Boat beach just talking to the Ocean. I began to explore different beaches while at the same time talking to the ocean. I had also recently broken up with a girlfriend of about 13 years. One day last year, while visiting my favorite beach in PR (Isla Verde) I met a girl who felt such strong feelings towards me. We began to talk and I find out that she had the same birth date as my twin brothers death date 10/7. I knew for sure that something answered me or blessed me. About two weeks ago, while at my favorite beach, I’m talking to the ocean as I always do and noticed a santera conversing with the ocean. I was curious to see if we were talking to the same power. I walked up to her and asked her to whom is she talking to. She introduced me to Yemaya. Once again I was freaked out because once again someone was sent to guide me, answer my questions and to confirm what I felt. Needless to say, I’ve been watching videos and researching everything there is to know about Yemaya and discovered the Yoruba religion. I am interested in a reading by you if at all possible. Thank you for making these videos and for making yourself available to us.

Problem is finding a spiritual teacher who isnt trying to swindle you.

Thank you so much. I have been in conflict for sometimes. This resonates with me

Right on time thank you love from NC

Thank you for this enlightening video. I am committed to Jesus and love the Catholic church, but also find imporant elements connected in Hinduism and Buddhism. I felt guilty practicing other spirituality but it does ground me and i'm going with my feeling.

Been doing Buddhism since1987

Loving the hat!

I’m hoping I can attend live, if not, I’ll be watching it later. Thanks this is great!

since I was a little girl, I have always been good at discerning energy and hearing spirits. This voice inside of me that doesn’t even feel like mine, guiding me all the time. Nature especially the ocean 🌊always seem to heal me. That’s where I feel the answers the strongest and feel the most connected to. 🇨🇺📿🧿

Thumbs down? Really? How is this lesson a thumb down lesson?? The DNA statement...so on point.

Such good medicine and guidance!!!

an a healer love the out doors. I can feel people engery some times it's hard to be around too many cause I get very drain of my own enter.❤

You sound like me I’ve been a part of all spiritual practice but I feel ifa is calling my soul

I'd love to hear how you started and advanced along your spiritual path!!💕💖

Hi Ms. Elemi! It’s so good to watch your videos. So refreshing and enlightening! TBH I hadn’t watched in a while but I felt like spirit was calling me to replay some of your old videos I’ve watched a few months back. And that’s just what I did! I actually feel better ☺️ Your videos are so therapeutic , it’s like that bowl of soup that’s needed when you’re not feeling well! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. Oh one more thing…. Will you be having anymore events coming up? I received the email for the meditation session I believe it was on July 4th in Newark but unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend. I would like to though. Please let me know when you’re having another one. 🥰

Thank youuu sister ❤ this was hugely helpful🔮💫🙏

Joining from Guyana 🇬🇾

Thank you! This was great. Second video from Generational curses which was also a great video. Plan on checking you out more.

When Me and my boyfriend came to the story yesterday I was nervous but you are so nice and I loved the store

Love the new look ❤️🎩

shiiii with a smile I CAN BE WHATEVER I WANT haha love it

just found your channel just they way you talk keep me here now imma hit that SUBSCRIBE BUTTON haha

Great video. Let's me know I'm on the right path. Thank you ❤️✌️🌱

Thank you for your practical approach and reminding us of the relevance, the BACKBONE of practicality. Sometimes i do think i'd like to be whisked away by the bells and whistles because that initial romanticism is so fun to reminisce on lol! And yes pleaaaaase plz make a vid of your journey, one specifically on ATRs if possible. I've been standing at that particular crossroads for a hot minute, listening to my ancestors, connecting to ori, waiting for an elder! Also i was wondering if you could elaborate on your "obscure" tradition? O ps. As for practicing more than one tradition. I feel like it depends who you ask. Some of my teachers say not to learn more than one path at once because it can become too confusing even though the work we do can take you anywhere your intent calls for you to go. I think it was confusing for me for a while, especially in terms of ego like questioning my loyalty- i felt torn, like i was cheating on my tradition, til i talked to a priest who told me it's about honoring it all, and finding balance.

I would love to hear about how your journey started. I didn't have a guide or mentor. I think history of my ancestors has led me to my current path. I think my path is MASALA. I need more clarification. ❤️

Its so many secrets, I believe people pick and choose who they want to teach. I am trying to go to Africa so I can get some guidance, its hard to find it here in America 😪

As always thank you for your insights and your beautiful energy. Love you so much 🥰💜🦋 and that top is fabulous!

I grew up next to Brazil...Guyana...love your vibrance...blessings Sis!!!

That’s right Mama Yeyeo we can do whatever we want 🎉❤ Ase

I believe into spiritual growth all thought I got lost listening to others people talk about all religious so I just believe in the right paths God said all things will come true in Jesus name ❤🙌

Would love to know how you started your journey 🤎

Yes I would like to discuss my spiritual journey with you...please. thank you.

I miss you Elemi it's been so long since we have talked and sat down. I hope I get a chance to speak with you for my birthday. Thank you.

Right ON TIME

How fun. Many paths. Thank You ❤️

I want to thank you for your amazing videos. I discovered you yesterday and have seen so many and excited to keep learning through you. You are an inspiration. Many blessings!

Thank you Elemi!

I need mentorship...

Ooo can't wait to see!

Your the best 💪🏼

It's really neat how fast the net brings in so many great things to Learn and have fun with🐌😊

Elemi I love the channel so much. This was helpful. I've returned to the path after a long hiatus. So much of this speaks to me. I just tell people I'm an eclectic Pagan.

Beautiful, and enlightening! Thank you!🥰

Yes I’m interested ❤

This was perfect. Best video yet.

I really enjoyed the video and needed this teaching, thank you

Ase' Ase', Ase'!! I love your hat :)

Much love. 🙏🌬♥ Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I've been a wanderer too. 😊 Have learned much & that will continue until I draw & expel my last breath.

Thank you for sharing this with Us. 💯❤

Hi Elemi, I’m gonna come visit you soon I’m super happy to know you in nj & you close to me.. I’m in orange I just placed several orders with you online.. And I’m gonna schedule a consultation with you soon yaaay 😂 see you soon

Thank you

I’d love to know more about how u came into choosing ATR.

I am drawn to all of it and great at all of it and have been presented with resources and guides for all of these areas . Can you make a video about how it's been like balancing all of these interests and how we can tune into when we are being called to move into different gifts . So many people have asked me to start doing readings and offering my spiritual work . However right now I am only feeling called to working for with with myself .

Many Paths up the Mountain... "Change We Must" by Hawaiian Kupuna Nana Veary. The pathway often chooses us. Yemaya chose me, and she has taken another 30 yrs. to really unfold why... 🌊 Elemi I hope you won't mind my adding this + your helpful OGUN video to my Orixa Axe' playlist!?

Thank you for sharing those wonderful advices. Yes I would like to hear about your spiritual journey.

I think I was like 10 when I discovered nature and Africa kinda callin me and kno I'm in my first few months in African Spirituality feelin something I didn't feel in Christianity

Yaaaayyy, caught a live! NY here.

Quite interesting, I found myself drawn to the left hand path after a long time trying different systems. Definetely not a path for everyone but has led me to true fufilment.

Love this ❤❤❤ I love Buddhism too ❤❤❤

I am from India but unfortunately there is no botanica shop.i would love to shop from a botanica
