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

Today is Thursday, December 24, 2009, and in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar it is 3 Manik, the Deer or Hand. This posting is not about a religious belief, nor any tradition. It is about the idea that we can look forward to what comes tomorrow.

Each day has its own story to tell, and today is no exception. What tale does today hold in its imagination as we await the arrival of what will come about?

No matter what we are involved with, whether it’s quietly reading a book or interacting with another person we relate. It is our way, to receive through input and then take that next step. We perceive, assess, realize, and mold our perceptions into a world.

The earth has the element of four, with seasons [...]

Monday, December 29, 2008, is 7 Manik (Deer, Hand). This cycle appears to be one focused on letting go of the old ways so the new patterns can emerge and take hold. This is supported in that this week has been the start of a new 260 day cycle.
In this phase we have [...]

Thursday, October 30, 2008 is 12 Manik (Deer, Hand).  Grace enters the picture today.  It can be difficult sometimes to move forward.  It’s even more difficult to stand still.  The grace of Manik reminds us that there is a third element in the yin yang world.  No matter where you go, for whatever choice you [...]

Sunday, August 31, 2008 is 4 Manik (Deer, Hand): Today is the first day of completeness, represented by the number four.  The gentle hand of Manik, the deer, leads us from the darkened space of Cimi and into the light.  It is here that we see the beauty of the world, and all it has [...]
