A warm hello from Oribel

Hello Friends,

Thank you for visiting my blog. If you are looking for inspiration and empowerment you’ve come to the right place.

Apart from articles I've written based on my own personal experiences I have included suggested affirmations, intentions, prayers, visualizations, meditations, ideologies and a whole lot more. I have personally benefited from them - I gained more self-confidence, learned about self-love, self-acceptance and self-respect, overcoming fears created by years of conditionings, tackled self-doubt, self-worth and self-esteem issues. And I’m learning to trust myself more and more each day.

I invite you to open heart and empty your mind and pick any subject that you are drawn to. Take only the information that resonates with you and leave the rest behind as they are here for others. You see, each of us have different lessons to learn in this life. Much of which is to overcome different types of fears - fear of being lonely, fear of rejection, fear of failure, well you're getting the picture. And, hence, we need different tools in our lives as we seek to discover ourselves and to turn our challenges into life lessons. With self-knowledge comes true power.

And always know that you have much to give the world by just being you....the authentic you that is. And also remember that when you reach a higher truth be prepared to let go of older ones that no longer serve you. That's how we evolve and expand.

Happy journeys,
Oribel

The Warrior's Prayer

The Warrior’s Prayer by Stuart Wilde

I am what I am.
In having faith in the beauty within me, I develop trust.
In softness I have strength.
In silence I walk with the gods.
In peace I understand myself and the world.
In conflict I walk away.
In detachment I am free.
In respecting all living things, I respect myself.
In dedication I honour the courage within me.
In eternity I have compassion for the nature of all things.
In love I unconditionally accept the evolution of others.
In freedom I have power.
In my individuality, I express the God-Force within me.
In service I give of what I have become.
I am what I am:
Eternal, immortal, universal, and infinite.
And so be it.


This powerful prayer is taken from Stuart Wilde’s book entitled Affirmations: How to expand your personal power and take back control of your life.

I have used many prayers from renown spiritual teachers and self-help gurus from the Western world. And this one absolutely resonates with me. The reason I say it’s powerful is because the prayer is actually an affirmation to one’s self. You see we are a piece of God and we have the POWER within us. So God is not out there, in the sky or in Heaven. God is within each of us. We are made in the image of God. So when we pray, we are actually praying to our expanded selves, our Spirit/Higher Self who hold all the answers to our every need. And prayers should always be said from a point of power and not weakness or lack. There is no ‘poor me’ statements in this prayer. It’s a prayer that’s full of reminders of who we truly are. And knowing who we truly are, we proclaim to the Universe this is who we are and we seek to become more conscious of it.

And what I like about this prayer is it covers every aspect of our life. It reminds me of our Oneness with all creations on Earth. Remember that we all come from the same Source. Yes, even the dirt, the grass, the trees, the animals, the insects and all other life forms – ALL come from the same Source.

And so I share with you this most powerful prayer. I say this prayer every morning when I get out of bed and every night before I sleep. And I said it with feeling and from my heart. May you come to realise the spiritual be-ing that you are.
