K’uxlajik K’aslik K’ux
(Living the Four-Fold Sacred Rhythm)
With the Mayan Sacred Calendar,
we live in alignment with Natural Law
by practicing its guidance.
“Aq’ab’al helps us understand the duality of time. It helps us see that neither good or bad exists alone, but rather that they are complementary energies, like day and night. Our life has both light and darkness, and there are lessons to be learned from both. As the energy of night, Aq’ab’al is the time for rest, dreams, and replenishment of physical and mental energy. It prepares us for dawn, which always comes, because that is how the Universe works.”–Pablo Sigüenza Ramírez
