When in the silence, the plants grow again…
5 days of “No time in the Mayan Calendar”, when it is the time consecrated for cleansing and purification, manifestation of new projects and to attract new energies to rise as human beings to guide others.
WAYEB
It is the space for you to perform cleansing ceremonies, change bad habits, let go of past things and old stories of our life and prepare for the New Year in the 11 EE, energy that guides in the four directions, attracts vitality, harmonization and balance in the world, in life, in communities.
If you have manifested a new project, 11 EE; It is the year in which your word has to be heard. That is the year in which we hold to have strength in the strength of the deer because it is authority.
It is the time to recharge yourself with new energies, to plant your new seeds.
It is time to cleanse, release and purify your physical and emotional body and reconnect with your maximum spiritual potential.
“It is a time called time out of time. And all these times, that is an ancient way of celebrating, waiting, the pause. The pause. It means like not working these days.
Because these days are days called time out of time. It is five days. So it begins from the February 14th to the 18th.
So these are sacred days. There are weak days and also powerful days; Strong days!
This is the time where we must be in ceremonies of cleaning, releasing all the trash that we have accumulated during this year that doesn’t serve us, that has been occupying our lives.
This can be emotions, can be relationship, good or bad experiences we have living all these times.
So this is the time to release, to remove, to give to the “fires” that were we going to do; and this is what way up is and why yep. It’s sacred time of offerings, of these ceremonies.
And it’s a time of cleansing of our soul, our mind, our spirit and our body, of course. So this is what Wayeb is.”
“For this year, KEJ brought us the manifestation of the four directions.-
The manifestation of four direction is like to find these four paths, which is east, west, north and south, or red, black, white and yellow.
It means that it is our task as human beings to wake up, to use our feet, to guide other people, to give a structure, to let them find their own direction, their own colors, their own medicine. Of course we got so excited for all these message, for all what we have learned and acknowledged.
Then we made many mistakes.
Now I am this because I was told that I must go to this place or must use this medicine because “I am a shaman”, all these stuff like I’m going to do this because the spirit told me to do this and to do that.
But really, this year that is coming, it’s eleven, it’s resolving, it’s correcting the path.
So this year that is coming is going to be eleven EE’. So we’re going to correct our path, to really define, to remove all these dust on our eyes, all these obstacles out of our way, what is distracting us, what is not helping us to walk, what are we making our stuff, what we’re making ourselves is to be a victim.
So just to remove all these crafts, all these makeup, to really walk our path with hardness, with real strength.
If we really shaman, if we really healers, we must jump all these obstacles, then we must go further and to find and open more doors for those who are having troubles, for those paths, to find this more, to widen their path.
But we must go and find a path that is not created. We must go and seek for those paths who are not made.
Nobody is guiding those people. So we have to go to clear the path for them, to create the path for them, so they can see their white path and yellow path.
The path of teaching and the path of receiving and being supported by your community. There’s a lot of jobs that need to be done, but a lot of job is not only your job, there’s a lot of inspiration, but also you must be supported by your community because you cannot work hard and just giving.
You must receive something on own your path. That’s a real walker, a spiritual walker who opens the path for other people who are not comparing with other stuff,
But owning its own path.”
“Eleven EE means that we need to resolve. It inspires us to bring solutions and to bring answers for those paths has been confused. Many of them.
We are trying, many of us, we are trying to go to the East, but we end up going to the South.
Many of us, we’re wanting to go to the West, but we’re going to the South, we’re going to the west instead of going to the North.
So we have found a lot of these paths, “the wrong ones”.
Many of us were trying to find our path, but we’re finding other people. We’re distracting, we’re comparing ourselves with others instead of growing, instead of focusing on our path, focusing on our roads, many of us were just still comparing,
– Oh, look at that person!! Who’s doing that? I should be doing that. I should be more than that or I should not be doing that. –
Remember, The ONLY way to follow our path is to follow our heart. That’s the path for the spirit.
______
We must go and find our path and help other people to find their own path through our practice, through our examples, through by leading it, through, by walking it.
We can speak, we can write, we can read many things. “I read Tarot, I read this and that”. If I don’t really own it and follow my path and just wasting time, so let’s focus on our path.
The path must include white path and yellow path.
WHICH ARE:
The path of teaching and the path of receiving. Also receiving abundance, also giving.
So you must give to receive, so you must teach, then you can receive.
So that’s the way, the meaning of these eleven!!”
“Through teaching, through your practice. In a practical way.
It’s the only way that’s the way to balance.
If you’re sick, practice your path. If you’re so happy, practice your path. If you’re so abundant, practice your path. If you’re having a hard time trusting, practice your path.
The only way how to deal with it is to walk your path.
“How to prepare ourselves is to come. To come the way how you are. I don’t ask you to come clean because we’re not clean. We come here, “dirty”.
So during Wayeb, we’re going to be taking our close, our burden. This is why it is for. It is a space for restoration. That’s why we stopped working. That’s why we stopped making noises.
We focus ourselves into healing, into processing, to release all these stuff. Then we would be cleaning that time.
So let’s bring herbs, flowers, seeds, tobacco. Good intention, good gift. Gifts that you want to give God to come from your heart.
Things that you don’t use anymore or what you have been holding for so long. For a year or more. Bring it and give it to somebody else. Change the owners. Because it’s trash you have been keeping there.
Why abundance is not there?
Because you have been accumulating trash. So remove.
Give this gift so then you can receive your up on you. So I don’t ask you to come clean that way up cleaning out.
“Calendar Cholq’ij is called the human calendar. The human calendar is based on twenty and thirteen, which is ten fingers and ten toes. And the articulation, the joints, that’s the sacred days of 260 days or nine months.
Sacred days, the counter of the shaman, the sacred days in Pacific. If we want to use the Haab Calendar (Solar) if we want to use agriculture. This works like the solar. It has important date, so it has 360 days in it plus 5 days of Wayeb. So the date of today it will be also date of next year.
It’s the same also with a harvest of corn. It’s the same date solar because it’s all about the sun, about the harvest. So important days, like the celebration of the sun, celebration of the moon, the harvest, blessing of seeds, it’s based on this and the solar calendar. So the solar calendar is for the celebration. But if you want to use a ceremony as a ritual, use Cholq’ij or Moon Calendar”
“Writing some things down or bringing your own offerings. Remove what you are letting go, what you are letting go of; especially those of us who worked last year, with different contracts, with projects that were not given to us, that did not flourish.
It is time to let go then, but be grateful with happiness.
We do not let go with anger, but we thank him because he taught us something. Then we must release them through fire ceremonies.” – Izaias Mendoza
“In this case, the practices are cleansing ceremonies to heal our attitudes, clean the things that we have not left in our life.
We have worked a lot, then we have to clean what we have kept for years, emotions, relationships and old patterns; WAYEB are days of cleansing.
So it is recommended to bathe a lot in herbs, take temazcal and pamper your body because it is time to recharge because more work is coming, more load, more responsibility and more commitment. And this year, KEJ is the year of commitment where we assume our responsibility.
It is the year when our word has to be heard. That is the year when we stand on the strength of the deer. Because that authority.
We must keep our sexuality clean. We have to purify our body, mentally, emotionally and physically.
Cleanse your body with incense, with being committed to your partner, to your work, to your own word.”
We have fire ceremonies with prayers, with bowls, nahual counts and cleanings with tobacco, also cacao ceremonies, intentional ceremonies.
The ceremonies will be led in Spanish, English and Mayan as well.
In the evenings there will be singing circles organized by different people, of which people can bring their own drum, rattle, flute because we are all going to share always with the accompaniment of the Sacred Fire that will be lit during these days of WAYEB from the first day.
Then from February 13th until the 20th we will be in Ceremonies of Intention and Cleansing.
During these days we hope to have food and things like that to sell here so that people don’t have to go far to eat.
