The fifth day of Tz’apiq’ij, according to the teachings shared with me by my father, Tat Carlos Barrios, he dedicated it to projecting. This is the day to activate the intentions we outlined the day before. Let us not forget that one of the most powerful gifts we have is the ability to transform our reality. The reality we live in is an “illusion” that has form, dimension, weight, color, and structure, a very concrete illusion, and within us lies the capacity to transform it by connecting with our inner power and with the strength of our mind.
Let us read today the list of objectives we set in each realm and, with those objectives in mind, focus our thoughts on manifesting. We can support this by lighting a white or light blue candle and, with our attention on the flame, hold the intention. Let us remember that to reach what we seek, it is important to manifest, but also to take action and create opportunities, for intention without action will not bring results. Let us keep our list in a special place and return to it from time to time to observe our progress and to direct our thoughts and actions so we can achieve our goals.
The day on which we close this Tz’apiq’ij is deeply synchronic and powerful. Today the trecena of I’x comes to an end, keeping us connected to our gifts and opening a powerful space for the manifestation we are bringing forth. We are also accompanied by Oxlajuj Kame, the energy of cycles, which offers us support to close the year and open ourselves to what is new, to be reborn into a new version of ourselves. This moment is also accompanied by an eclipse that gives strength to this change and to the new direction we are taking.

El quinto día de Tz’apiq’ij, de acuerdo con las enseñanzas de mi papá, Tat Carlos Barrios, lo dedicaba a proyectar. Este es el día para activar los propósitos que delineamos el día anterior. No olvidemos que uno de los dones más poderosos que tenemos es el de transformar nuestra realidad. La realidad en la que vivimos es una “ilusión” que tiene forma, dimensión, peso, color y estructura, una ilusión muy concreta, y está en nosotros la capacidad de transformarla al conectar con nuestro poder interior y con la fuerza de nuestra mente.
Leamos hoy la lista de objetivos que trazamos en cada plano y, con esos objetivos en mente, enfoquemos nuestro pensamiento para manifestar. Podemos ayudarnos encendiendo una vela blanca o celeste y con la atención en la llama sostener la intención. Recordemos que para alcanzar lo que deseamos es importante manifestar, pero también accionar y crear oportunidades, pues la intención sin acción no nos traerá resultados. Guardemos nuestra lista en un lugar especial y volvamos a revisarla cada cierto tiempo para observar nuestros avances y direccionar nuevamente nuestros pensamientos y acciones para poder alcanzarlos.
El día en que cerramos este Tz’apiq’ij es profundamente sincrónico y poderoso, hoy finaliza la trecena de I’x, que nos mantiene conectados a nuestros dones y abre un espacio poderoso para la manifestación que estamos haciendo, nos acompaña también Oxlajuj Kame, la energía de los ciclos, que nos brinda el sostén para cerrar el año y abrirnos a lo nuevo, para renacer a una nueva versión de nosotros, y este momento está acompañado por un eclipse que da fuerza a ese cambio y al nuevo rumbo que estamos tomando.

On the fourth day of Tz’apiq’ij, according to the teachings shared with me by my father, Tat Carlos Barrios, he dedicated it to defining. This is the day to outline our goals, the direction we want our year to take and the steps we will take to move closer to the path we wish to walk. Let us ask ourselves what makes us happy or unhappy, what we want from life and what prevents us from accomplishing it. We should plan and determine what we want at every level, the growth we seek in the physical/material, mental, emotional and spiritual realms. Let us make a list for each of these planes, decide with awareness what changes we will make, take into account whether it is possible for us to make these changes and how we will carry them out. Let us remember that many times to achieve great changes we have to begin with many small changes.
On the second day of Tz’apiq’ij, according to the teachings shared with me by my father, Tat Carlos Barrios, he dedicated it to acceptance. This is the moment to free ourselves from our attachments, without giving space to regret or to “what ifs”, for we cannot turn back time or erase what we have done, but we can transform our possibilities and project a new destiny. Remembering the past is important, for from it arise our experience, our knowledge, and our growth, but it is even more important to create new opportunities in the present.
On the second day of Tz’apiq’ij, according to the teachings shared with me by my father, Tat Carlos Barrios, he dedicated it to self-recognition. This is the day to become aware of who we truly are, being honest with ourselves, without lying or making excuses, regardless of whether we like what we see or not, simply observing ourselves without judgment or harshness, just honesty.
According to the teachings shared with me by my father, Tat Carlos Barrios, the way he practiced his Tz’apiq’ij was by focusing each day on a specific aspect. The first day he devoted to review. This is the day to reflect on what took place over the past year, if we celebrated Tz’apiq’ij the previous year, to look at what had been projected and see what turned out well, to understand why something that had been planned did not take place and what reasons prevented our intentions from being fulfilled. Today it is important to review our path, to see how we are and where we stand, to go deeper and determine what has brought us to where we are. We can write down the events that have occurred and the things that will later help us define the next cycle.
Today we begin the last month of the Haab’ year, called Tz’apiq’ij or Wayeb’ —in the Yucatec Maya language—.
Let us not forget that we did not come here merely to exist, we came to be and to create.
May the gifts we carry within not remain dormant. May we have the courage to activate them and use them.
The fact that we are all different is precisely what gives balance and meaning to life.
We have great power, the question is are we using it?
