Mayan Daily Insights: How We Learn About Ourselves, One Day At A Time

Waves do not come in and then instantly disappear; they pull themselves back into the vast ocean, beckoning us to follow. Tempting it is to give in to that pull. Today is Tuesday February 9, 2010 is 11 Ix the Jaguar in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar: It pays to pay attention.

Today is Saturday, February 6, 2010, and 8 Chuen the Monkey in the Mayan Tzolkin Calendar. We’ve heard it before, laughter is the best medicine.

Today has its own qualities and tones. Today is Friday, February 5, 2010, and it is 7 Oc the Dog in the Mayan Tzolkin and the Mayan Daily Insights.

This day is Thursday, February 5, 2010 and 6 Muluc, the Water in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar. The number six to me can be a difficult one, a pivotal place nearly midpoint in the 13 day number system, a time we could consider restful for the body, but not for the spirit. Muluc doesn’t make this day any easier, given the depth that the water could potentially take.

Have you ever had one of those dreams where you felt like you were falling? This is that day, or that night. No matter whether waking or sleeping there is a point when we must let it go. Oh but that can be so challenging, letting loose long enough to see what will happen.

Today is Sunday, January 31, 2010, and in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar it is 2 Chicchan, the Serpent. This symbol in the Mayan calendar is highly charged with the passion and pleasure of participating in living.

Today is January 24, 2010, and it is 8 Edznab, the Flint in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar. Edznab appears to be in the middle of it all, taking the voice of “Set”.

Today is January 22, 2010, which is 6 Cib, the Vulture, in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar. Cib serves us in realizing our own voice, the inner message that seeks to find its place within the world.

Today is January 21, 2010 is 5 Men, the Eagle in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar. Whether our audience is one, or a million one’s, someone is depending on us to carry on being the best representative of our story.

January 18, 2010 is 2 Eb, the Road in the Mayan Tzolkin calendar. As we travel along the road of life we carry with us markers: the flags, cones and road signs we use to assign value to the steps we take.
