The Mayan ancestors studied the energy of each day, according to the movement of Mother Earth, and created a solar and a lunar calendar.
These calendars teach us about very sacred energies and our relationship and deep connection with all the elements of nature, that make life possible.
With these calendars we are able to get to know ourselves in a deeper way, create positive change for our lives and be in touch with constant changes happening in Mother Earth.
The Mayan cosmology explains the way of thinking and behaving of each human being, according to the energies they were born with.
Our lives on Mother Earth are written in cycles and the Mayan calendar is a way of measuring, ordering and counting time by observing the movements of Mother Earth.
This ordering is made up of the cycles of time with their respective carriers, the guardians of time and from space.
From Maya thought nothing that exists on the face of the earth is ours , life positions us here and now just to be guardians and protectors of nature and Mother Earth. We are free to live, unfold and develop over a period of time and be witnesses of many suns, many cycles and many life events.
For a period of 360 days one of them takes position to be the guide and guardian.
These four bearers of time take turns every year and relieve each other. They are of great importance because they exert a great influence on the lives of human beings.
K’ak Junab', a new cycle of 365 days,
The Mayan New Year is the day we receive our new time carrier with its respective energy.
As an example we just transitioned the Junab' (year) which was governed by Ajaw 10 Kej last year and now this February we received the Ajaw 11 E.
The Mayas celebrate this passage with great joy through ceremony, music, dance, food, many offerings to commence a new cycle.
Join us to understand more about how these energies affect each year, each month and our lives individually, and how by understanding our make up, we can harmonize with these energies and create more balance in our every day lives and open paths to manifest our goals.
