To us, Ashé is "it" . . . the purest of energies in motion, the source and the catalyst that makes things change and shift and move for the better. Ashé assists us all in working to manifest the Highest Good, while Living Full Truth. In Yoruba it is like saying "amen" or "let it be done." "The concept of ashé is central to understanding right and wrong in Santeria. Ashé—from the Yoruba Asé—is, like the Hindu term dharma, a dynamic and hard-to-define concept. A sense of order and balance in the universe. Ashé is the ultimate source of everything." Ashé, the energy of creation in Yoruba mythology and the primordial stroke which is life force, in the Shambhala teachings of Chogyam Trungpa.
