13 Aq’ab’al – Creation to Realization for Cholq’ij New Year

Nawal Aq'ab'alAQ’AB’AL is the first ray of light in the darkness. Let’s imagine when everything was just space, when there was an emptiness of dark matter. Then a light emerges, breaking monotony. Creation begins to awaken and movement takes place. This is the energy of Aq’ab’al. Aq’ab’al is the dawn, it is the count of the days; the Ch’umil that connects us to the eternal present (past-present-future). It is a step towards the creation of the illusion/reality in that infinite Macro Spiral of the Najt (Space-Time). This goes from the macro to the micro; in the constant expansion of the Universe, in the Chipi Kakulja, the small ray that produces the neural synaptic interconnection. The purpose of this Ch’umil is to allow us to develop that connection, to delineate our own reality according to the cosmic creation. This energy brings a lot of opportunities. It brings unforeseen changes, but it also brings challenges. The light of Aq’ab’al leads us to other places, sometimes unknown, but it always protects us. Within this chain, which is a sequence of Creation, how the energies arrived to create reality, Aq’ab’al opens the opportunity to find light in the darkness, a light that will illuminate our path. Where are we headed? What level do we want to reach? To what dimension do we want to arrive?

Healing with the Energies of the Cholq’ij

An evening workshop series
July 14th & 15th, 5:30-7:30PM – New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts, Santa Fe, NM Cost: $35/ session; $60/ Series

During this workshop we will begin the process of healing ourselves by using the twenty energies (Ch’umil) of the Cholq’ij Calendar as our tool. The purpose of learning this healing technique is to begin the search that will allow us to find balance in our four planes of manifestation: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual, in order to find the stability and inner peace that is necessary to accomplish our purpose of life and to open the path that will lead us to living in harmony with everything that surrounds us and with our own being so that we can find self-fulfillment.

Each participant will work with a problem they are facing at this moment of life. Together we will learn to use the twenty cosmic and telluric energies of the Cholq’ij Calendar to overcome that specific problem. This workshop will teach participants how to use the Maya Calendar to face any future problems that may rise.

Attendees of the workshop are invited to attend a fire ceremony the following day. Details, including location (in Santa Fe), to be shared at the workshop, $10 materials donation suggested.

Public Talk: Maya Healing

Free Talk (Suggested Donation $10)
July 13th, 6:00-7:30PM – New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts, Santa Fe
Maya culture, with 5,200 years of existence in Mesoamerica and with its close connection to Mother Earth, has accomplished different natural techniques of healing the body, mind, heart, and spirit. These techniques range from the use of plants and herbs, to minerals, steam, flowers, and fire, all combined with the energies of the Calendar of Life (Cholq’ij). Each of these healing techniques is practiced by a specialist. For example, the people who work with plants and herbs are called the Ajqayis, the people who work with the minerals are the Ajab’aj, with the steam the Ajtuj, with flowers the Aj Cotz’ij, and with fire the Ajk’at. During the talk we will speak about these techniques and others like healing with the flint knife, healing through sound and using chants and prayers to lift the spirit of a person who died in an accident.

Interpretations of Mayan Sign

The Sacred Maya Calendar has 20 energies which are complemented by 13 different numbers or levels. It is the combination of an energy with a number that gives us our personality. According to the Cholq’ij Calendar, each person, depending on their date of birth, has specific talents, strengths and weaknesses. By getting an interpretation of your Maya sign you will understand your energy and learn how to use it to its full potential. You may wish to bring a recording device or take notes during this session.

Divinations

In the Maya world divination is done with the seeds and stones of the Sacred Pouch. This form of divination is used to give us a guide and a specific answer to questions on situations that are affecting the person in order to help them make a better decision. This type of divination is probably the most ancient one that is still being used.

Energy Cleansing

By using the healing power of the obsidian stone one can heal illnesses or eliminate the negative burdens from our body, heart, spirit and soul in order to become lighter beings and to obtain a better quality of life. When using the obsidian stone together with tobacco smoke ―a plant that is considered sacred to many indigenous peoples from the Americas ― the energy of the person can be lifted and strengthened, developing a protective shield for when a person’s energy is weak so they become less energetically vulnerable to illnesses.

Healings

In the Mayan world healings are often done with tobacco, sacred stones and/or oils with the intention of either healing the person completely or helping them feel relief, this depends on the strength of the illness.

MAYAN SACRED FIRE CEREMONY

The Mayan Fire Ceremony has been practiced for thousands of years; according to the Mayan tradition the first Fire Ceremony was offered by the four B’alaneb’ (semi-god, jaguars) who suggested that every time that we needed to be in contact with god, we could make a Ceremony and he would listen and help us. $10 materials fee, donations welcome.
