I love the Iq' glyph and its meaning - so the air can flow through. It looks a bit like an air tube! Also, this, " flow with changes and unchecked passions by not taking things personally. "

Thanks Jeanine! The Mayan T-shaped windows are so fascinating. Here's more on this:

"These served a dual purpose. The first was to determine what type of wind was blowing based on sound. Giant, vibrating flutes were placed on top of the pyramids, and their music directly influenced those who heard it, altering their energy in a positive way.

The second purpose of the windows, which aimed toward the four cardinal points, was to observe and record equinoxes, solstices, and the transit of important stars such as Venus and the Pleiades." From Kenneth Johnson's book on Mayan Cosmology.

"Psychology often shows us that behaviors and actions are shaped by muddled filters of awareness from past experiences, not always reflecting the present moment or current issues." ahhhh yes..the narratives we hold so dearly. this is always a good reminder.. Sometimes i see the muddled filters coming and i think to myself, "ok what narrative are we going to try to use this time.." lol. observing can be so much fun in trying to catch yourself looking through the muddled filters!
