Throughout the years, we’ve been trying to maintain alive ancient wisdom from our deep roots like indigenous communities, ancestral civilizations, and knowledge. At the same time, we live a life full of separation, consumerism, and problems, in a constant look for something to survive, leaving behind the idea that we can live a meaningful life supported by our own personal power and universal truths.

It all narrows down to the way we perceive time, as we live encapsulated in an artificial perception of time based on money and mass management systems like the calendar and the clock, leaving behind any sense of fulfillment of our purpose, where we decide to forget to ask ourselves if we are happy or not. Its never too late to change this and all it takes is a decision, the mayans knew this, they are known to be the masters of time, thats why they inherited us a tool called “Tzolkin” a “harmonic constant” that can show us the way we evolve and which energies are in our path, so we can use them and create a meaningful life.


Using the tzolkin to tune into radial time


We tend to have a linear perception of time, when in reality everything is happening at once in an eternal present moment, the tzolkin, is considered a harmonic constant, showing us which energies are present each day, with 20 signs and 13 tones, helping us perceive time as a moment full of meaning, by giving us “signs” we can interpret as guides to move into purpose.


Tuning into purpose


Mayan wisdom states that time is cyclical, within those cycles we can find energies that compose who we are as a whole, as each day carries specific energies that materialize into being with the help of gravity, it creates who we are. Within these cycles we can find “the wavespell” a process of 13 energies that indicate our evolution.


It can help us identify how we move through life, our purpose, our destiny, our service, our balance, amongst other things that helps us evolve.


What is keeping us from our purpose


We come to this world to live a legacy, to live as creators and not as victims, we lose this power by falling into what I call “layers of self” ideas we adapt through our history, we think we are someone and that takes us away from the moment by trying to relieve the past which is who we think we are, all of this is brought by our perception of time. When we decide to drop what we think to be the history of ourselves we can free ourselves from the responsibility of being someone and we can just embody whatever the moment is trying to tell us.


We can always decide to shift our perception of time so we can live a meaningful fulfilling life, leaning into our energy with the help of the tzolkin, all it takes is a decision, sounds easy but its always the hardest thing to do, leaning into the unknown in order to live a new reality, if you want to know more about the tzolkin and natural time in order to create a dream, follow me in my socials on my profile!
