Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
11 Tijax
Tijax brings healing, it is the sacred obsidian knife that purifies us at all levels. Its power helps us to find the courage we need to remove from our being what we no longer need, so that we can align our energy, find our balance, and raise our vibration.
Junlajuj -11- is a number that impels us to overcome difficulties in order to reach our true essence.
On this day, the energies remind us that in order to live a creative life, we must have the courage to let go of our fear of making mistakes, to follow the paths we dream of without fear of being judged, and to leap into the undiscovered space of our own truth. –Denise Barrios11 Tijax
When working with a sharp object, it is always best to have an idea about how to use it and what you plan to use it for. This is especially the case today. Don’t run with the scissors in your hand!Tijax is a sharp energy, which can be used to heal, create great beauty and rid the world of the mundane or unholy. However, in order to be used effectively it needs to be directed.
Here we begin to understand a potential issue on this day 11 Tijax. The number 11 works intuitively and this can give rise to unpredictability. When a message comes, 11 hears it loud and clear and changes direction.
When this is factored into a combination with the properties of Tijax, this can become a problem. In its most dramatic expression, the energy of 11 Tijax lash out at those nearby, but with an obsidian blade.
Measure twice and cut once. Take a breath before acting, especially before making the final cut. –Mark Elmy
