Mayan Daily Insights – Time Honored Wisdom Mayan Tzolkin and our Leap into 2012

We have the expression, “It is always darkest before the dawn”. So much of what we expect is based upon our patterning, so then what is our experience when we are on the verge of something new? Transformation is one of the most desired experience, as well as the most feared.

Today is Wednesday, December 23, 2009, and 2 Cimi, Death, in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar. There are those who would risk death to fight for that which they believe in. This statement sounds so much like a fairy tale, doesn’t it?

The Mayan tzolkin and 8 Cimi: The setting sun, the waning moon, they allow us to have what we would not allow ourselves when we’re holding on to the past or our old perceptions.

Today we have the most intriguing combination, with a present time day/date combination that provokes superstitious thoughts and behaviors. Today is, November 13, 2009, and ironically it meets the Mayan Tzolkin calendar with One Cimi, or Death. This seems to be a rather intense pointer to a potential outcome, but wait. Isn’t [...]

Cimi appears to be the most somber of glyphs, and by many it is known as the glyph of death.  We know that in death we must travel alone.  So to is our cleansing process.  We turn inward, in silence, to pray.  We perceive that we are alone, but in our journey we realize that [...]

Monday, December 8, 2008, is 12 Cimi (Death). Returning to the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, we find Jack in the darkness of night, mulling over his actions of the day. The opportunity presented itself, and he was only trying to do something that would benefit himself and his mother. His [...]

Saturday, August 30, 2008 is 3 Cimi (Death):  This cycle truly is in the spirit of balance.  Yesterday we had the fire and passion of Chicchan, and today we have the restful, internal surrender into the hands of Cimi.  The best way to view Cimi in this cycle is through the moment before a birth.
