This day is guided by Ajaw 5 Kawoq, which carries the energy of family, community, and, more broadly, humanity. This Ch’umil also represents abundance and, in these times is marking the destiny of humanity.
Its importance comes from being the point of unity of the family, Don Pascual once told me. If there is anything certain, it is that in the end, the ones you can truly count on are the members of your own family, in times of difficulty, in moments of joy, and throughout your personal growth. In ancestral times, the family was sacred, and the destiny of all its members was shared. Although the Ch’umil or Nawal grants each person their individuality, power, and level of evolution, the family has always shaped our origin and the characteristics that define us. As he explained to me, this has to do with the seed we inherit, the spiral that gives us our character and the traits that distinguish a particular group, our DNA.
That is why we pay attention and respect our family group, and why we listen to the advice and guidance of the elders, which was shared around the hearth (the home) located at the center of the house. Today we are far from that force that was the foundation of our greatness. There was also unity within the community, since work was always done for the common good. Today we are far from that strength that once formed the foundation of our greatness. There was also a strong sense of community, where work was always carried out for the common good. Today, many live in individualism. Perhaps at the level of a country there is still some awareness of belonging, even if it is sustained by language, race, or territory, though at times it feels almost ironic, as people often come together more easily around football or other sports.
Ch’umil Kawoq represents family unity. From the eldest to the youngest, we all have a mission and shared work to fulfill. That is why the well-being of everyone matters. The trecena invites us to work in harmony, to resolve differences, and to find peace and nobility as a foundation for the evolution of the consciousness of our family group.
Este día está regido por el Ajaw 5 Kawoq, quien manifiesta la energía de la familia, la comunidad y en términos más generales la humanidad. Este Ch’umil también representa la abundancia y en estos tiempos está marcando el destino de la humanidad.
Su importancia deviene de ser el punto de unidad de la familia, me decía don Pascual. Si hay algo seguro y certero es que al final con quien cuentas es con los miembros que la conforman, para los problemas, las alegrías y para todo tu desarrollo. En tiempos ancestrales la familia era sagrada y el destino de toda ella iba unido. Aunque el Ch’umil o Nawal nos da a cada quien su individualidad, poder y nivel evolutivo, la familia siempre marcó un origen y características que nos definen. Eso me decía, tiene que ver con la semilla que heredamos, que es la espiral que nos da el carácter y los rasgos que caracterizan a un grupo determinado, nuestro ADN.
Por eso ponemos atención y respeto a nuestro grupo familiar y por eso respetamos y escuchamos los consejos de los abuelos, los cuales se impartían alrededor de la hoguera (el hogar) que estaba al centro de la casa. Hoy estamos lejos de esa fuerza que fue el cimiento de nuestra grandeza. También existía una unidad de la comunidad, ya que siempre se trabajó por el bienestar común. Hoy cada quien es individualista, quizá a nivel de país hay un poco más de conciencia de pertenencia, aunque sea por razones de idioma, raciales o territoriales que se mantiene esta unidad (pero es hasta irrisorio, la gente se une más por el fútbol u otro deporte).
El Ch’umil Kawoq es la unidad familiar, desde el más anciano hasta el más niño todos tenemos una misión y un trabajo conjunto que realizar. Es por eso la importancia del bienestar de todos. La trecena nos indica trabajar en armonía, solucionar diferencias y encontrar paz y nobleza como una premisa de la evolución de la conciencia de nuestro grupo familiar.
This day is ruled by Ajaw 3 No’j, which manifests as knowledge that becomes wisdom, it is balance and harmony. It is the power of the mind that allows creativity to arise. No’j is the true and profound knowledge of things, people and situations, and it is what allows us to interact with reality. It shows us the need to review our actions and the way we move through life, making possible harmony, peace, understanding, knowledge, creativity, and the creation of our own reality.
The elders used to say that this Ch’umil carries two very strong energies, one is forgiveness and the other is sin.
This day allows us to change the direction of our lives. Today a trecena begins, and when you focus your attention with all the power you possess, miracles can happen. Everything in life, health, finances, emotional well-being, and finding a good partner, is a projection, a creation of our own creativity, that powerful force we do not fully understand most of the time. Turning toward this force brings an experience that breaks the structure of this reality and leads us into the creation of our own reality. It is here that we enter the realm where what seems impossible becomes possible.
When we fall into the illusion of feeling superior, we forget that we are part of everything around us.
Understanding may begin in the mind, but integration, power, and true shift happen when the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual bodies move together.
Let us not remain waiting for everything to be perfect in order to walk our path.
We are living faster than we can integrate, and in that rush we are disconnecting from the most beautiful things in life.
If something makes us uncomfortable, it may be an invitation to pause for a moment and look at what it is showing us.
Today we begin a new trecena under the energy of Iq’, who is the spirit of air and wind, a force that purifies the body, mind, heart, and spirit. It is the energy that nurtures our ideas and gives us the ability to renew ourselves. The wind that empowers thought, allowing us to transcend the limits of the mind and transform our reality.
