How many in your family/community/group are living with the Mayan calendar?
4-5
How do you use the Mayan Calendar in your everyday life? Do you combine it with the Gregorian calendar?
a combination is necessary when I'm working, but I've tried to live without the gregorian for a while and that felt so good--so I will do that again. the gregorian calendar is missing the holistic perspective.
I follow the energies and trecenas, and I try to connect with nature especially on the shaman days. a small offering of tobacco or food is a good way of thanking our Mother, and Great Spirit.
the days that I don't know the trecena or energy, the information comes up through art or 'coinsidence'.
How has the Mayan Calendar influenced or changed your way of life or thinking?
to integrate celebration and transformation, contact with ancestors and mother earth in such a direct way has given a huge impact on my life, in such a degree I want to learn more everyday. It's so comprehensive for my whole being, and the level of synchronisity has increased more and more. the calendar is alive.
What challenges or difficulties have you encountered in integrating the Mayan Calendar into your daily life?
the main difficulty I feel is how I long to explain the reality of this to my friends and family, but their interest must grow from inside.
another is that I wish to live according to my soul purpose everyday---and I know that it is strongly connected with the maya and the calendar. I'm happy knowing that I get closer to that goal everyday.
What do you feel are the benefits of living with the Mayan Calendar?
true spirit
I, as so many others, lost myself completely-I lost the ability to laugh, to play, to be honest, even to be sober. because of this I have tolerance and understanding for others, and a deep appreciation for life. the soul needs work--and the way of the soul is a science, not something too 'high-flying' to understand. but we need to go through the portals, ego-death, and see ourselves again and again. The maya calendar has helped me tremendously in these processes. thank you:)
