Sometimes the hard part is not giving but opening ourselves to receive and remembering that love is also accepting what others want to offer us.
On this day, the energy reminds us that we are communal beings and that we do not walk the path of existence alone. I was thinking that when we talk about spiritual wisdom, the focus is often on what we can give, how to contribute, respect others’ paths, and share our light. All of that is valuable and beautiful, but today I want to turn my attention to something different, to receiving.
Let us observe how open we are to that vulnerable part that involves asking for help and accepting support when we need it. Receiving is also a spiritual act; it means giving space for someone else to share their light with us, and that is also love. Let us not put on the shell of believing we are so strong that we close the door to what someone else can lovingly offer us, or hold the false belief that we can do everything alone and do not need anyone.
I think this is a meaningful reflection for today. Once a Nan told me that if we close ourselves to receiving, we also close ourselves to the more subtle blessings, our intuition, gifts, and messages. As Kawoq says, abundance is born when we share, and opening ourselves to receive is also part of that.
A veces lo difícil no es dar sino abrirnos a recibir y recordar que el amor también está en aceptar lo que alguien quiere darnos.
Hoy que la energía nos recuerda que somos seres comunitarios, que no caminamos solos el camino de la existencia, pensaba que cuando hablamos de sabiduría espiritual muchas veces el enfoque está en lo que podemos dar, en cómo aportar, respetar los caminos de los demás, compartir nuestra luz. Todo eso es valioso y hermoso, pero hoy quise poner la atención en algo diferente, el recibir.
Observemos qué tanto nos abrimos a esa parte vulnerable que implica pedir ayuda, aceptar apoyo cuando lo necesitamos. Recibir también es un acto espiritual, es dar espacio para que alguien más nos comparta su luz y eso también es amor. No nos pongamos esa caparazón de creernos tan fuertes que cerramos la puerta a lo que alguien más puede darnos con amor, a tener esa falsa creencia de que podemos solos, de que no necesitamos a nadie.
Creo que es una reflexión bonita para este día. Una vez una Nan me dijo que si nos cerramos a recibir en este plano también nos cerramos a los regalos más sutiles, a la intuición, los dones, las señales. Como dice Kawoq, la abundancia nace cuando compartimos y abrirnos a recibir también es parte de eso.
We can choose to use the same energy we use to avoid what scares us to heal and empower ourselves.
Our mind has the power to transform what we live.
The mistakes we make are part of our learning process in life; they are tools that bring us wisdom.
Our good fortune begins with the certainty that it is possible to create what we dream of.
Today begins a trecena under the energy of Ajaw Aj, which indicates the inner strength, authority and power. It is learning the value of caring, protecting, and guiding in order to bring strength. Aj tells us that the path begins with the first step, so it is necessary to take action, keeping in mind that everything unfolds when there is a good foundation, strong roots provided by Ajaw Aj. The power and recognition given by this Ch’umil should not distance us from being humble and aware, because one of the greatest obstacles on the path is pride. Aj inspires a respect based on experience, so we must pay attention and avoid being imposing, obsessive, overly serious, or someone who becomes a ruler.
Taking a step into the unknown is not always comfortable, but staying in the familiar may limit what we are here to manifest.
Let us intentionally seek to experience things that fill us with joy.
We do not need to dim other lights for ours to shine.
Let us remember that every moment of our life can be sacred.
