Iq’ is the wind that sweeps clean the heart and psyche, the body and mind. This is the breath of life that heals all negative energy and illness, be it of a physical or psychological nature, but especially if the problem stems from anger or rage.
It’s the energy of words and communication, the conception and expression of ideas. A day sign of cleansing and purification, Iq’ is the nawal of the moon and the air, of the divine breath and vital spirit of human existence.
Iq’ symbolizes the purity and translucence of glass, and graphically represents the T-shaped windows of temples, which served the dual purpose of determining what kind of wind was blowing by the sound it made through the window, and observing astronomical phenomena and movements of stars and planets. –Brigitte Rasine
Diana’s Observations:
Iq’, the nawal of change and the purifying breath of life, sweeps through social bonds today, carrying the essence of clarity and vitality. Power 12 amplifies the gathering and synergistic qualities within our social groups, community, and associations, highlighting change, renewed expression, and purification in our personal and professional networks.
This synergy is further enhanced by the Trecena of B’atz, which weaves new beginnings, unity, and healing threads into the fabric of our lives. Like a sudden gust of wind, thoughts, words, and actions may surprise us today, offering unexpected insights that can be woven into the new tapestry of reality unfolding.
Iq’ embodies the power of communication—through words, thoughts, and hearing—serving as the vehicle for our ideas and actions. Building on the intuitive insights from yesterday’s 11 Imox, today we can further refine our higher vision through inspiration from others and cultural influences. The energy of 12 Iq’ invites us to gather and synthesize diverse perspectives from past, present, and future, thereby deepening our understanding and manifesting the emerging reality with greater clarity and unity.
It is a day to invite change by purifying the air in our homes, clear misunderstandings in our relationships, and seek wisdom through written or spoken expression. As air expands the mind, it clarifies, relaxes, and revitalizes the body. Iq’ reminds us to take a deep, mindful breath to calm and anchor ourselves in the present moment before engaging in important conversations, allowing us to communicate with greater clarity and intention.
As we navigate these changes, today’s hummingbird medicine reminds us to stay present and adaptable, flowing with the shifting winds. By being mindful of our temper and words, we can engage in a revitalizing expression, channeling the force of the wind to gain purity, clarity, and spiritual wisdom on our path. With the overarching influence of B’atz, this can help us cultivate refined unity, healing, and love within our relationships.
Observations by Mayan Spiritual Guides:
12 Iq’ The energy of 12 Iq’ could be seen as providing an understanding of how to embrace a sudden change based on previous experiences.
It could also be a day to use the experience you have gained through your life to motivate and inspire others through your words. The nawal Iq’ has the power to inspire, after all, it is the breath of life itself, the divine breath, moving through us, animating us and bringing movement into the world.
However, sometimes that movement is uncertain, it brings unexpected changes. Sometimes Iq’ brings destruction with its force.
The decision on how to use your words may result in big consequences. Today it is married with the number 12, the highest of the even numbers.
Whilst it is powerful, the fact that it is an even number usually gives the energy of 12 days a rather positive feel as they bring together previous experiences from our lives. –Mark Elmy
12 Iq’ This day brings us the wisdom and power of Kab’lajuj Iq’, the energy that created the wind, an element that purifies and gives power to our minds.
Within the chain of creation Iq’ is the force that allows us to transcend the limits of the mind in order to transmute our reality.
The power of this energy strengthens the power that arises from Imox, for the wind of Iq’ is the one that helps us to liberate and purify ourselves, to overcome the limitations in which we have become encased, especially those of the mental plane, so that we are able to connect to other states, to break the limits of this physical world in order to create our reality.
Much of the work of Iq’ lies in achieving absolute confidence.
When we are able to have the total certainty that we are going to realize something, breaking the limits of the doubt, of the rationalization of our possibilities, when every cell of our being vibrates in the confidence of what we are manifesting, that is when we awaken the power to materialize our reality. –Denise Barrios
The hovering movement of Hummingbird is a potent message about being in the moment and enjoying life’s nectar. Overall, Hummingbird as a spirit animal represents flexibility, lightheartedness, and joy.
The hummingbird is one of the most fascinating birds because of its ability to move its body swiftly, change direction quickly and smoothly, seemingly gliding from one place to another.
When the hummingbird shows up in your life, it may be an invitation to flex your path, perhaps even bending backward or forward, in order to accommodate life’s circumstances.
This spirit animal invites us to cultivate a sense of fluidity in our lives, reminding us that we can navigate obstacles with grace and ease. The hummingbird's journey often involves migration, symbolizing new beginnings and the transformative power of letting go of the past.
You may be required to adapt to a situation that is a bit more demanding than usual. -Bernadette King
