LYALA
Greetings, I hope your heart is well.
My name is Lyala Aje.
I was first called Lyala by a South African elder who supported my spiritual growth. The name and its meaning resonated deeply, and over time I chose to carry Lyala as my spiritual name.
I was born in England, with Jamaican heritage and African roots—shaped by three worlds, and therefore three rhythms: Africa, Jamaica and England (AJE).
From this understanding, I chose Aje as a spiritual second name—a quiet summary of my identity.
Lyala Aje is the name I carry in this work, and the name under which my spiritual and ancestral practice continues to grow.
DECOLONISE YOUR LIFE
I didn’t create Decolonise Your Life to teach, I ‘guide’ and help others find their path, their way.
I am still listening to the ancestors and walking my own path as this work unfolds, so what I am offering is a ‘foundational understanding’ of reconnecting with ancestors and decolonising lives.
My work is primarily geared towards those of us who, for whatever reason, have become separated from ancestral wisdom. Too many of us are not awake to this important missing piece of our life’s journey.
Decolonise Your Life grew from a desire to share what I have been gifted—ancestral wisdom, reflections on life purpose and ways of understanding how trauma moves through lineages and lives in the body and spirit.
Truth is, many of you are decolonising areas of your lives already, you just don’t name it in that way. I hope that what I am offering can be an additional light helping you to see you are already doing the work.
