In Yorùbá spirituality, self-disruptive behavior is seen as a reflection of imbalance in character. Traits like impatience (àìsùúrù), arrogance (ìgbéraga), unresolved anger (ibínú), and indecision (àìpinnu) block alignment with one’s Orí (divine destiny). Through proverbs, reflection, and simple rituals, Yorùbá wisdom offers a path back to balance, reminding us that healing begins with character—ìwà pẹ̀lẹ́.

In Yorùbá spirituality, Orí is the inner divinity that governs your destiny, chosen before birth and honored through daily ritual, prayer, and ethical living. Far beyond intuition, Orí is a personal deity—your spiritual compass and the force that lifts you up. This article explores how to honor, listen to, and align with Orí through offerings, stillness, and traditional practices, empowering you to walk your path with clarity, character, and divine support.
