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

Our world is grossly unfair to that inner child, and its desire to express itself, play, and create through interaction. Instead we find ourselves protecting our intellectual properties and ideas. Somewhere in the midst of our work environment we will still find a creative aspect of self, longing for expression as well as appreciation.

Today in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar we greet Wednesday November 18th with Six Chuen, the monkey. This brings us the benefit of enjoyment, playfulness, and that joy that is found when the inner child is entranced by an amazing sight.
We learn so easily when we give anything our attention. The more we [...]

In the Mayan Daily Insights, Friday, October 9, 2009 is 5 Chuen, the Monkey. This day comes at the end of the workweek, and for many we here that deep sigh of release as they whisper, “TGIF”. On this day we return to honor the inner child and our playful, self gratifying nature. [...]

In the Mayan Daily Insights, Wednesday, October 7, 2009 is 3 Muluc, the Water. When we look into the water we see a reflection. Our eyes may catch the physical form, noticing the lines of time or the weariness of the day. Our spirit sees far beyond this outer wrapping.

In the Mayan Daily Insights, Sunday, August 30, 2009 is 4 Chuen, the Monkey. Our interactivity and connectivity, as discussed yesterday, those are the things that make it all worthwhile.
Day three is the first day when the different aspects connect, but day four is the first day when everything really comes together [...]

In the Mayan Daily Insights, Tuesday, May 5, 2009 is 4 Ix, the Jaguar. Yesterday we spoke of the satiated step forward from the childhood stage, playfully staged for us by Chuen, and journeyed forward into the decisive realm of Ben. Today we carry that forward with Ix, who enlightens us with a [...]

Sunday, April 19, 2009 is 1 Edznab (Flint). The life of a child, in our best scenario, is filled with make believe and illusion. We support and even encourage the imagination, with stories that entrance and delight both young and old.
What purpose does our use of imagination play in our development? [...]

In the Mayan Daily Insights, Sunday, April 12, 2009 is 7 Chuen, the Monkey. The past two days have been so contemplative, isn’t it about time we lighten up? Chuen brings us the chance to play, throwing caution to the wind and dancing a wild dance.
Chuen, as the child, is arms [...]

Wednesday, February 11, 2009, is 12 Chuen (Monkey). As we drift away from the recent full moon I have to ask: which is worse, to be cast into a world of darkness, or to stand exposed by the light, even during the cover the night?  Sometimes what appears to be lunacy is only a [...]

Chuen holds within its grasp the inner child.  With this comes the spontaneity and innocent qualities that many of us lose sight of over time.  Life experiences can cause us to lose our trust, especially ones brought about by betrayal by others or the overstepping of boundaries.
Life means duality, and the paradox contained within the [...]
