The Mayan Tzolkin calendar is an ancient spiritual view of the cycles we experience throughout our lives. Beginning a new 260 day cycle just days before our present day New Years we can approach the days of resolutions with a small though and a lot of letting go. This is a time to start again, taking the best from where we have been and stepping up to a whole new level.

Time was seen by the Mayans as an inward spiral, speeding up over time. That spiral can be experiences as well through the shifts of consciousness on the planet today. The energy of the planet is rising quite rapidly. How can we make the best of this every changing situation?

The greatest tool available to you today is the one most overlooked, the ability to slow down. Logically speaking, if you want to be balanced, in the middle, you need a counterbalance to the rapid change we are experiencing. This means focusing as well on our earth connections.

We have made some fascinating concepts about our spirituality and consciousness. Many seek their spiritual self, but the spirit is the most consistent part of you. You cannot help but be spirit. We also have the other side of the spectrum, with our physical existence and perceptions. The secret is finding a excellent viewpoint somewhere in the middle.

How do we bring about our consciousness in our physical world? We do so by connecting to our world. Sounds a small backward, doesnt it? By connecting our time and space reality we draw more of our scattered awareness to the here and now. This is step one in making a potent body mind spirit mix.

One primary step to our body mind spirit integration is letting go of our complex past. This is where the Mayan cycles come into play. As we go from one cycle to the next there are many subtle messages to let go of the past. A burdened soul cannot easily rise to the next level.

By connecting to the moment and releasing the energies that burden your spiritual perceptions you can more clearly see what is before you, and follow that path. This is the message of the new Mayan cycle, and the forthcoming long count shift in 2012. Let it go, and live in the moment.
