If Only We Could Begin Again
By EsteeTaschereau

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.

In the perspective at time we are on an ever-increasing inward cycle. I see this as a spiritual awareness cycle, one I hesitate to describe as upward, though it includes higher vibrations. We can have empowerment through those higher vibrations without the ownership and understanding of those levels.

In order to fully possess the power given us we must have the "downward" or simplification cycle. What is that simplifying step? The full integration of our spiritual progress comes by moving in two directions at the same time.

We have created some interesting concepts about our spirituality and consciousness. Many seek their spiritual self, but the spirit is the most consistent part of you. You cannot help but be spirit. We also have the other side of the spectrum, with our physical existence and perceptions. The secret is finding a good viewpoint somewhere in the middle.

With all the focus on spirituality we still have our basic body experience. No, not so basic. We have quite an array of abilities and expressions available to us in the body, and have woven quite a perception of what life truly is, based on the physical experience. What if we were able to mix both the physical and spiritual sides? We can find balance, bringing more of our spiritual awareness into the body.

The Mayan calendar is cycle based, and within a 260 day cycle we find many transitions between the upper and lower levels. We have constant reminders of the physical as well as the spiritual so that we do not become so fully engrossed in one direction. In order to make the most of this yin yang pulsating cycle we must let go of a portion of the past. Much like a balloon, it is easier to rise up when we are not overburdened with the weight of the old.

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!
