If Only We Could Begin Again

By Estee Taschereau

The Mayan Tzolkin calendar is an ancient spiritual view of the cycles we experience throughout our lives. Beginning a new 260 day cycle just days before our present day New Years we can approach the days of resolutions with a little though and a lot of letting go. This is a time to begin again, taking the best from where we have been and stepping up to a whole new level.

The Mayans perceived time as an inward spiral, in a sense speeding up with each cycle. We see this all around us, with our technological changes becoming obsolete before these new creations reach the marketplace. Time speeds up, and the energies of the planet change as well, with a focus on the higher vibrations. What can we do to increase our awareness, and make the best of these changes?

With time moving faster, and energy rising, how are we supposed to find balance in this world? The answer is simple. I mean it, simple. We have a yin yang world, and in order to have your yin yang power all we really need to do is balance the ever-rising cosmic energy flow with the energies provided to us by the earth.

Many speak of consciousness, and finding their spirituality. My belief is that we are spirit, which negates the idea that we become spiritual. We are spiritual, with consciousness and awareness on many levels outside this physical world.

We do live in the physical world, a place often perceived as the opposite of our spirituality. It is difficult to have the one when we are totally engrossed in the other. Somewhere in the middle there must be a space where we can have both. Somewhere in the middle we integrate body mind and spirit and find a joyful balance.

One primary step to our body mind spirit integration is letting go of our complex past. This is where the Mayan cycles come into play. As we move from one cycle to the next there are many subtle messages to let go of the past. A burdened soul cannot easily rise to the next level.

Here we have a flow and balance between the yin and the yang, the physical and the spiritual. We can bring more of our focus into the present time experience, let go of the distractions we face, and bring a greater awakening to our experience of our spirituality in the body. Welcome to the world!
