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 little though and a lot of letting go. This is a time to begin again, taking the best from where we have been and stepping up to a whole new level.

The Mayans perceived time as an inward spiral, in a sense speeding up with each cycle. We see this all around us, with our technological changes becoming obsolete before these new creations reach the marketplace. Time speeds up, and the energies of the planet change as well, with a focus on the higher vibrations. What can we do to increase our awareness, and make the best of these changes?

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 created some interesting 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 good viewpoint somewhere in the middle.

We do live in the physical world, a place often perceived as the opposite of our spirituality. It is difficult to have the one when we are totally engrossed in the other. Somewhere in the middle there must be a space where we can have both. Somewhere in the middle we integrate body mind and spirit and find a joyful balance.

How does the Mayan calendar help us in our integration between body and spirit, and help us to grow into greater awareness? Each 260 day cycle contains many cycles, and these cycles pulse back and forth from the spiritual reminders to the physical influences. We are gently guided and given opportunity to make the most of each day. In order to rise to the next level we need to let go of the old.

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.
