Mayan Daily Insights: Our Qualities, Virtues, and Values

Saturday, August 1, 2009 is 1 Ik, or Wind in the Mayan Daily Insights. What better place to begin new life than with the breath. The body has no direction without the soul. Our actions mean nothing without purpose. The breath gives us everything we need to make the simplest experience into an enriching spiritual [...]

Friday, April 24, 2009, is 6 Akbal (Night, House) in the Mayan Tzolkin Calendar. Yesterday’s message of the breath is important to remember as we step into the night. The dream world is not confined to sleeping. We can also find ourselves drifting off into a daydream, or hypnotized by some mind-numbing experience. What happens [...]

In the Mayan Daily Insights Thursday, April 23, 2009, is 5 Ik the Wind. Yesterday we looked into the depth of Imix. No matter how much we try to hold on to those times or places where we feel most safe we cannot. We must continue to grow, and experience, good or bad. We must [...]

In the Mayan Daily Insights, Sunday, March 8, 2009 is 11 Cib (Vulture). When we take a step forward we must always pull ourselves away from where we have been. We must leave behind the treasures we have found along the way. When we walk across the beach do we feel a loss by leaving [...]

In the Mayan Daily Insights, Sunday, February 22, 2009 is 10 Ik (Wind). Today is the day of manifestation, and our creation is quickly carried away by the wind.

Thursday, December 4, 2008, is 8 Ik (Wind).  The wind is a powerful tool, both creative and destructive.  We never see the wind itself, only the affect it has on others.  So the wind, in a sense, is one of the darker elements, though it should not be feared.

Friday, November 14, 2008, is 1  Ik (Wind).  Yesterday we filled ourselves with the earthy tones of Imix, the alligator.  Today brings Ik, the wind, and the breath of life.  What good is life without awareness?

Saturday, October 25, 2008 is 7 Ik (Wind). Today is the highlight or highest point of this cycle. The number seven is often described as a spiritual number. There are the seven chakras, and some say there are seven spiritual levels to achieve in this lifetime. Ik brings us life, the breath and the movement [...]

Tuesday, October 21, 2008 is 3 Edznab (Flint).  We reach day three of this cycle with Edznab, who brings in a new spark of awareness.  In order to grow we must bring in awareness. Oftentimes in order to create space for something new we have to recognize that what has been is not really complete [...]

Sunday, October 5, 2008 is 13 Ik (Wind):   The thirteenth day of a cycle is both the ending and the beginning. The labors of the summer give us the seeds for the following growing season. Drink deeply from the wellspring of life. The breath, the wind, is our constant relationship between our individual experience [...]
