Following a 13 day Mayan time cycle allows us an opportunity to tune into the energies of creation. As with the cycle of the new moon to full moon it is a cycle of manifestation each of these Mayan time cycles or pulses of the year allows us an opportunity to tune into the energies of a natural creative process. With the count of 13 we can use the first day as a point for deep meditation, focus and intention. On the first day we can ask ourselves what we want to manifest as it relates to the meaning of each particular time pulse and as it relates to the sign of the moon and other planetary transits. The first day of the time- pulse and each succeeding day will relate to a particular energy and vibration that can be felt collectively and also individually depending on the day you were born.
Each 13-day pulse moves in the form of the G, it is the unwinding of a cycle that mirrors the movement of galactic consciousness. Think of the Mayan number for one, “Hun” (whoon) as the point of unity, pulsing out a counter clockwise ripple of energy. The Mayan number 13 is the next level of the spiral, taking us up the winding pyramid of consciousness and creation. As Connie Kaplan writes in her book the “Women’s Book of Dreaming”, counterclockwise is the Shamanic direction. “It is the direction of the galactic spin, the direction the Earth rotates and the direction the Earth moves around the Sun. Counterclockwise is also the direction the Moon moves around the Earth, the direction the Milky Way spirals, and the direction of the DNA helix.”
When you follow these counter clockwise pulses of time-no-time you will be learning to re-program your inner knowledge and intuition. Moving in the counterclockwise direction sends our dreaming consciousness into the Galactic Realms. When we have anchored this galactic pulsing of time and the spiral becomes strong enough we can follow our dreams all the way back to the Great Dreamer and Primordial Creatrix who dreamed the world into being, In The Mayan Calendar this is represented by the first Glyph in the series of twenty, Imix, the crocodile.
