Flowing with the Natural Forces of the Day, by LjL

A day of dynamic interlocking forces; energizing and good for work and vigorous activity.

The day unfolds with a certain controlled urgency. Stay responsive and allow the natural force of the day to move you.

Follow the flowing synchronicities of the day with passion and action.

Find your truth and hold your centre.

Consider your next move carefully. Then calmly and with surety start to move.
 
The Journey of Life – the Thousand-Mile Journey – begins with a single step forward. Make your first step one that is firm, confident and true. You then change the options and experience of the next thousand miles.

Alternatively, slow down or stop what you are doing or what you are actively involved in. Be prepared to reset or integrate more before proceeding. 

Take a moment.

Map your coordinates. Think and visualize spatially.

Where are you on your journey?

The drama of life presents itself in its four essential elements. You see the essence of four directions and four forces from an elevated view. Questions arise in the mind – ‘Which direction should I go in?’ Get your bearings. Find your location, place yourself in the cosmos.

All around you is a living environment. A true orientation involves a communication with the directions, the immediate environment and the larger environment.

Ancient Medicine Wheel from here

Shamanism offers the tools for direct communication with the environment and your essential orientation. The simplicity of the medicine wheel and its evocation of the spirit of the directions veils its extraordinary power. If you have never worked with the directions in the medicine wheel, I urge you to take some time to explore it.

It is simple. Anyone can do it, and the doing of it empowers you. The directions orientate you instantly on Earth and in multiple dimensions.*

Today is a good day to locate yourself on your path.

Stalking Energy
Instinct directs you as you walk through the day.
Feel the energy and intelligence of the body in each step as you walk. The more you can feel into the body – staying connected to the living environment, yet inside the body – the more you can access the immanent cosmic reality of the cat-mind that is comfortable with Earth and Heaven as one playground.

In this 2012 era, we can more easily access the living field of energy in which we move around and in which we have our being, as long as we take time to unplug from the consensual matrix – and therein lies the rub.

Since the 1990s, there has been a massive influx of cosmic energy/consciousness into the Earth. In its manifest form, this is high-energy plasma, which is creating what is termed ‘space weather’. (The phrase ‘space weather’ came into being in 1990, due to the enormous influx of cosmic rays that flooded into our locality in the space surrounding our planet.)

The plasma is then being stepped down into the Earth.

Plasma is the fundamental state of matter and is the conduit for consciousness to interact with matter.

We are walking around in the cosmic electric jungle. Feel the subtle electric field by directing your thoughts towards it. Evoke the spirit of the cosmic influx and recognize that the environment you are in is alive.

It is simple – just open up your awareness and utilize your imagination, your will and the subtle energy you can feel with your hands.

Stalk the power that will connect you to the new vitality that is seeking you.

The duality of Earth and Heaven, of body and mind, of the cosmic and the mundane. Span the great divide with your mind and consciousness.

Hold within your being the energy of the question, ‘How do I unite that which is above with that which is below?’ Dualities can tear us apart, until we are ready to feel and experience the unity that inherently underpins and over-lights them.

Horsell Common, UK

Recognize duality today, yet search for the unification. This is a challenge –  but the discomfort of the challenge stands at the threshold of the Oneness. Be with the pull of opposites without surrendering to either one; hold the space.

A good day to enjoy the contrast between Heavenly aspirations and inspirations, and the visceral delights of the body and nature.

1 Good Road (Long Good Road, Human, Grass)

A new 13-day timewave starts today, Good Road (aka Human, Grass, Long Good Road, or Eb).

The Long Good Road, by LjL

There is always so much more to life than we can see at any time...

Are you ready for the Good Road Timewave? The adventure of the open road into the unknown and uncharted – yet benevolently abundant – landscape begins today.

Stepping into the reality of the ever-present open road.

If you have been tuned into Radio Tzolkin over the previous 26 days, you will have navigated through Skull and Storm timewaves, which are both powerfully transformative. Do you feel a stirring sense of something new within you?

Alternatively, if you feel stuck or hindered by excessive baggage, take the time to open your heart to the idea that life begins anew today. Invoke the spirit of adventure on the open road in your imagination right now.

Bourne Woods, near Farnham, UK

Today begins a new timewave to bring you into resonance with the adventure of life – its twists and turns, its arrivals and the abundance of people, as well as the challenge of staying open-minded.

The adventurer enjoys the journey more than the arrival, whilst still looking ahead to the next stage-post. Abundance is the state of openness, where life flows through you.

Call upon the benevolent abundant spirit of growth and adventure to liberate your heart.

You decided to be born at this time, for your soul knows that this is a pivotal period in our history as humanity approaches the fork in the timeline road.

Expand your imagination beyond the culture...

The Cosmic Dancer: Homage to Shiva, by Carey

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 1 Good Road:]
The Long Good Road of Life reflects the Long Good Road of the Celestial Path of the solar orb, for life is not just played out on land – it is danced and celebrated above for all to see, if they would look…

A 13-day cycle of remembrance begins today as you open your mind to remember the abundance of life’s adventure.
 
Here is a link to a beautiful song on YouTube to help you evoke the open heart. Go forth now in love.

13 Monkey

Laurence being a playful and spontaneous monkey,
laughing uproariously at himself and at life (in 2014)

A great day to liberate yourself from the weight of your concerns and to release yourself from worry. Life is asking you to enjoy the unexpected. If you can be spontaneous today, it is a day of playfulness.

When the cosmic matrix is laughing, life can seem mighty strange due to the fragmentation and disruption of what we think is important.

Trickster energy. How do we manage it?

We have to laugh at ourselves.

‘Habituation is assuming without understanding,
judging without weighing,
reacting from bias rather than evident fact.
It is a reduction of our awareness,
rather than an expansion of our consciousness.’

12 Dog

Sambal, our semi-feral dog

Today is a good day for a fresh understanding of your emotional needs.

The 12th day of every 13-day timewave (also called a 'Wavespell' by José Argüelles) offers a coherent understanding of that particular mini-cycle. This is especially true on an emotional level with 12 Dog, the 12th day of the Storm Timewave.

If you have been experiencing a dissolution of all of the foundations of your reality, if you have broken free of habitual thinking and mechanized needs, then you have run into the edge of the Matrix. Where do you go from there? Back into society, relationships and the immediacy of nurture and comfort.
 

In the Storm Timewave, you may have been traversing at speed through multiple paradigms and theatres, experiencing, touching base or getting a whiff of occulture, mysticism, futurism, love, community, technology or the manner of the diversity that exists within your life.

On this day of 12 Dog, it can all fit together into your expanding holism by coming back to the basic emotional level of need.

Today, ask yourself ‘What do I need?’

Today offers the opportunity connect to your growing consciousness of the benevolent, wondrous and light-filled totality of life as something you can feel and relate to. Today, you can feel a sense of companionship with many beings.

This is Nougat, our cat (who thinks he's a dog), showing me how to
'go back into … relationships and the immediacy of nurture and comfort'.
What do I need? Like all of us, I need love, companionship,
a sense of comfort and safety,
and knowing that where I am and how I am is okay.
I also need cuddles – lots of cuddles. Here Nougat is cuddling Whitstable,
my soft-toy dog bought for me by Laurence and his beloved daughter
(my special much-loved sea-daughter) Oceana,
from a charity shop in Whitstable, Kent, on one of their spring trips together.

Painting by the very talented Annie Knibb

Today brings us the energy of increased fluidity.

The doors to the depths of your soul are opened as forgotten feelings flood in.

If you have been experiencing the Storm effect – the maelstrom of directional changes and discomfort of chaordic pressures and activities – then today you can move more easily in to and out of the eye of the storm, the inner connective space of stillness and/or deeper connection. The access is through the feelings.

However, if you have not yet quite got with the programme by tuning into the 260-day pulse, this can be your day to feel the effects of the electrifying nature of the Storm Timewave all around you. If your life feels flat, then break out of beige and follow the pulse of the Cosmic Earth.

Fluidity: uncredited image from Google

In general, the day is very fluid. It allows us to access new feelings and old feelings and to be adaptable. The energy is flexible, malleable and pliable and it washes away the blocks to the new freedom or new habits looking to come into your life.

Some troubles can be washed away if you are open to the energy.

The fixed light of a star; the tangible form of the soul.

A wonderful day to sense the inherent poetic and evocative energy that is within life, the radiance within form.

The day has a quality that is full of light. This light is living – it is not merely electricity, it is the radiance of aliveness.

A day where the subtle light of the reflective realm of the astral worlds permeates the day. The astral worlds, although within the Earth, are permeable and merge with the greater Cosmic Ocean. The astral worlds are made of a form, a substance, that is emotive, imaginative and feeling. Life does not exist in inert vacuums – life lives within life.

The tangible experience of your Cosmic Self yet again reminds you of the extraordinary enchantment cast upon the world by money and materialism.

True abundance can be recognized today. There is no bottom line or share option, no company flotation – just the truth of the infinitely expansive cosmic reality that is populated with beings on multiple densities.

The higher dimensions orchestrate the lower dimensions. The higher dimensional aspect of you is the part of the Self that creates the new; it is the one that is in relationship to fully awakened higher dimensional beings. 

Your essence can be called a Star Seed. You are not just from Earth, but from a much larger reality.

You are living your life within the radiant light that is alive. Your connection and access to the radiance is most likely to come through an immediate and localised environment. Catch that moment when you feel like you have an intimacy with something magical, joyful and playful. It could be just a moment of connection, a burst of sunlight or a breeze through the window.

Recognize the moment when the intangible becomes tangible; honour the moment for its reality.

9 Deer (Hand, Grasp)

Cyclical Completions, by LjL

A good day for refined understandings and dealing with people skilfully. A clear light is cast upon how things will unfold in the future, based on projections of present reality.

The day reveals the cyclical completions, including activities or tools that are not working for you, as they show themselves to your light of consciousness in their state of decay or ineffectiveness.

You can access a real finesse in your psyche today.

You wake up to the realm where the ripples and vibrations of time–space are accessible.

Tune into the pulse that is passing through you and bring it into the palm of your hand.

8 Skull

 

Commit to Change, by LjL

Commit to Change
A day of balanced and disciplined organized action that deals with the changes occurring in your life at present. In particular, you will have become conscious of a change of state somewhere in your life during the previous timewave, which was Skull.*

Skull is the definitive change of one thing into another; it signifies the end of something and the beginning of something new. How are recent changes integrating into the continuum of your life?

Recognize and own that which has changed or is changing – not just fluctuating, but actually transforming.

Thanks to Dominic Cryer

* Note from Carey: Day 8 is always ruled by the same Daykeeper that began the previous timewave. Thus, today is 8 Skull and the timewave before this one – which is Storm – was the Skull Timewave, which began with 1 Skull. In the next timewave, which is Good Road, Day 8 will be 8 Storm.

Waking Up the Life Force, by LjL

Confidence in Your Power; Be Respectful of Power
Feel the confidence to change and break free from outworn patterns. Come into alignment and move with the Life Force.

The Life Force wakes up in the body and enlivens your whole psyche.

Today is a day of activation, where you receive electrical stimulation of the Life Force, giving you vitality and enabling a fresh perspective on what you want and need in order to survive and flourish.

It is a good day to understand the dynamics of power, both on personal and social levels. Feel your power, respect it and respect the principle of power without fear.

Today offers the opportunity to break free from any outmoded power plays that you utilize with others, or which are placed upon you by others.

6 Lizard (Seed)

Unlocking the Abundance of More Freedom
by LjL

A cadent day of unfoldment and natural recalibration. Be the unfurling.

The Storm energy continues to heat up and speed up as you recalibrate your energy today.

Today is a good day for organic adjustment of your templates, plans and the soil of your life. So prepare the soil of your life today to allow the seeds of your true benevolent abundance to germinate and flourish.

Image from Google

An almost mechanistic adjustment occurs today as various cogs in your psyche turn left, then right, then left again – as in the process of unlocking a safe.

Unlocking the abundance of more freedom, especially the capacity to utilize and own your time – and therefore your energy – to get things done.

Five clicks one way, three clicks the other way, six clicks back again…

5 Foredawn (Dark House, In the House, Dark Night)

Created by Carey

Are you feeling clogged up with psychic baggage?

Were your dreams last night full of old scripts, ideas not expressed, yearnings never explored, visions not realized?
 
Do you feel stuck in a dark room that you cannot get out of?
 
If so, accept it and sit in the middle of the room, in the middle of the soul’s darkened space – just be with it.
 
In the house, the eye of the storm.

Everything moves to the edge of the circle to create emptiness in the middle, from where the freshness of the moment gives you the bliss of remembrance.
 

Thank you to Dom

Creating space. Become conscious of your shadow issues. A good day to allow emotional issues to be acknowledged so as to find the void of potential that lies in the middle of them. No need to get hung up on healing it all or clearing it all, just find the emptiness that is veiled behind your issues.

A good day to experience the freedom of the still, empty space that is felt inside, yet which IS throughout existence.

4 Wind

The 4 Winds from the four directions are Message Bearers of Spirit.

The Wind God can be an angry god, but its great wisdom is through its service; the power of the Wind God is in its ability to activate the spirit within us. The Wind is the Breath of the Earth distributing elements from one place to another. 

Strzybóg, the god of winds
By Alice Wibberley (from Pinterest)

Our minds are tied to our breath. If we are anxious, with a racing mind, we breathe fast and shallow, whilst if we are breathing deeply and calmly, our minds are relaxed and transparent. The human mind, like the wind, helps communicate, clarify and separate the wheat from the chaff, but the real wisdom of the human mind is in being of service to the soul and spirit.

We access our spirit primarily through our feeling sense; the mind helps to refine the nature of our ability to feel – our most important sense.

Allow your mind to divide up, to analyse and to disseminate the energy within you to the four corners of your psyche. Allow it to separate the fundamental elements of Air, Water, Earth and Fire from the primal material you have generated in this timewave. The way forward will emerge organically.

Allow the energies of today to clear any confusion or refine any issue that feels like a coagulated lump of solid data.

Use the mind first to break down the lump of data, then let go of the mind.

Follow the body impulses, be directed by the Blood Lightning, the instinctive response, the first blink, that instant knowing as you are led by the breath of the ether. Or, we could say, the movement of light from outside your body to inside your cells.

[Here is an interesting link Laurence posted on 4 Wind of 29 November 2009, related to the above statement]
 

Human cells, from Google

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 4 Wind:]
This is a reminder that the mind is our tool, not our master. The mind is the conveyor, not the source. The over-identification with data in certain quarters of society and the objective – aka ‘separated’ – dominant perception has led to the loss of consciousness.

To regain our consciousness of our most essential reality, we simply open our mind to the empirical and immediate sensations of the event, and to the experience of the moment.

The mind is one step behind the experience, so today be directed as if by a larger mind; call upon the mind of the subtle winds that circulate everywhere – even inside your home. The subtle winds are the ebbs and flows, wisps and breezes of the ether.

The foundation for breaking patterns and gaining a new freedom requires that you see the dominant issue – or perhaps problem – affecting you. Write it down in its separate components, and/or from different perspectives.

Then feel into the moment, the central space, and listen to the body instinct.
