The purpose of any spiritual or life affirming practice is to equip the seeker / practitioner with the needed tools to be or become the highest version of themself that they can possibly be, in this lifetime. And most importantly, to do so in a balanced manner.

We are encouraged to reflect upon the Odu of Iwori Obara and a verse of Ifa within it that speaks about safeguarding ourselves from self destructive behaviors, actions, and suicide even, be it physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.
