Ă’rĂ - The Yoruba Concept of a Person's head
OrĂ literally meaning "head," refers to one's spiritual intuition which is the calabash that contains the head and heart. It is the reflective spark of human consciousness embedded into the human essence, and therefore is often personified as an Ă’rĂsá in its own right. It is believed that human beings are able to heal themselves both spiritually and physically by working with the Ă’rĂsá to achieve a balanced character or Iwá-pèlè. When one has a good balanced character, one obtains an alignment with one's OrĂ or divine self. It is also believed that OrĂ is to be worshiped like Ă’rĂsá.
The Yoruba believe that OrĂ embraces both knowledge and wisdom, and because it is a manifestation of both thought and emotion, a better definition would be either the human soul, or the human spirit.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia & Inner Peace - The Yoruba Concept of OrĂ by Awo Falokun Fatunmbi
Ă’rĂ Prayer
If I have money, It is OrĂ whom I will praise, My OrĂ, it is you. If I have children on earth, It is OrĂ whom I will praise, My OrĂ, it is you. All good thing that I have on earth, It is OrĂ whom I will praise, My OrĂ, it is you. OrĂ I salute you, You do not forget me your child. You bless before the Ă’rĂsá. No Ă’rĂsá blesses without the consent of Ă’rĂ.
