Happy Maya New Year - March 6

Dear Friends:

Miguel Angel, our friend and Maya Spiritual Guide, could not be with us this year to commemorate the Maya New Year. You may, as I have done, commemorate the day with a small fire ceremony of your own.

Simply light a candle and give a short prayer towards the four cardinal directions. East may be considered the direction of the future and the unborn. West, the direction of the past and a place of offering prayers of remembrance to our loved ones who have departed this world. South is the direction of life and growth. North, the direction of storms and tests.

In behalf of the Lake Worth Interfaith Network, Happy Maya New Year 5130!

=======================================

Below is a New Year message from Miguel:

This sixth of March, we celebrate the Maya New Year in the Energy of 2 AJPU, the grand clarity that comes to orient humanity, toward the real spiritual light, for the renewal and purification towards life and rebirth. In this year of 2014, on the sixth of March, we enter a solar cycle of 365 days, guided by 2 AJPU, which represents  the balance in our lives of the four aspects of our being, that is physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. AJPU contains the concept in Maya cosmology symbolizing Grandfather Sun, also the twin Warriors who obtained wisdom to pass the tests of the five houses of the underworld. In this year we should make fire ceremonies each 40 days in the energy of AJPU, one of the four major carriers that travel the spiritual path with humanity for the next 52 years until 2064.

Happy Maya New Year, as we journey together in the cosmic path of the Fifth Sun. May the Great Spirit of the Heart of Heaven bring you many blessings.
