8 WIND
Today, the good news is that it is an 8 day. This number can balance any day sign’s energy and help it to manifest at its highest potential.
Iq’ means “wind,” and the wind is also the breath. And when they say breath, they mean the breath of life. Centuries ago, a Mayan scribe, commenting on the death of a Yaxchilan king, said: “His white wind (saq iq’) became withered.” The “wind” is within us. It is the vital breath.
Set yourself to work studying some lofty subject – Iq’ days are said to be helpful for intellectual endeavor. Do you have an altar or some other spot in your home that is devoted to “sacred space”? It is said that Iq’ is the “sacred wind” that blows through the shrines and altars and purifies them. Iq’ is a day to clean our home shrine or altar, a day to honor the sacred space we have created around us. So get out the dust cloth and polish up those candles, Buddha statues, and incense sticks on your personal shrine. Today is the right day for it.
