K’uxlajik K’aslik K’ux
(Living the fourfold sacred rhythm)
With the Mayan Sacred Calendar,
we live in alignment with Natural Law
by practicing its guidance.
“Toj is the energy of reciprocity. When we speak of reciprocity, we are referring to the vital exchange between giving and receiving. For all that I receive, I must also pay life back.
Toj represents the process of nourishing life with biological, psychological, and emotional nutrition, so that life can exist in fullness. Through this we seek the realization of family, community, and society.
Our communities have a tradition of making offerings with organic materials; honey, sugar, flowers, incense, candles, turpentine, and cocoa. We thank nature and burn these offerings. Through this fire ceremony, we return a little of what we have received back to the cosmos.” –Pablo Sigüenza Ramirez
