Flow To Your Dream Life with Mayan Astrology

Shaman Balder

The Mayans created an incredibly fascinating calendar. This system of astrology has many deeper layers that can reveal the workings of human life. It describes the 20 developmental processes, waves, of life. We are all born in one of them. In this four-monthly podcast, we delve into the energies, changing every 13 days. Inspiring you to make the most of the potentials that life offers us every day. I flow through the energies weaving in reflection in between stories and metaphors. A little dreamy and sometimes confronting. The energy will move you and help you flow with the magic of life through transformation, shadow work, and healing. shamanbalder.substack.com

    Flying out of the cage.

    It is Yellow Warrior 1 in the Dreamspell calendar. The Warrior is about discipline and self-direction. Inner leadership. But it can also feel trapped in limitations, feeling incapable to move forward. Where are you feeling trapped or limited in your life? Where are you holding back? The Warrior asks us these questions, because, only you can free yourself from the prison of your own mind. The Tzolkin teaches us in this wave that sometimes we need to let go of the old, to release what’s holding us back. We may need to reflect in order to gain a fresh perspective. And then we need to be willing to move with the winds of change. This is an invitation to be innovative and look at how we can turn challenges or limitations into opportunity. How we can cultivate our medicine from our own struggle. That’s what the warrior teaches us today. And the birds. Birds are so magical. Birds are awesome. Just like birds, when we spread our wings, we can fly. And it doesn’t mean we can fly into to the sky, but we can fly through life. A teacher of mine once said; if you are feeling like you are caged. If you are feeling like a bird in a cage, like you’re trapped in circumstances. There is one person and one person only who can truly free you from that. And that is you. "Only you can free yourself from the prison of your own mind." That’s what the birds teach us today. I needed that reminder today and maybe you did too. This is a public episode.

    What do you need and what is actually someone else's?

    “If you're willing to go after your dreams and let go of the stories of others, you can find abundance.” A look back at the energies of the second half of August, The Yellow Seed wave spell. The themes continue to play into September. But we're looking back a little late, apologies for this. However it allows us to reflect, already knowing what has happened, a beautiful way to apply the astrology. The beautiful thing about the calendar is that it teaches us fundamental life lessons. And all of these waves are playing in different ways in our lives all the time. In the people around us, the relationships we have with them, the country we live in, or the business you work in. And every 9 months the same wave comes back. Today is Red Moon 13 which is about remembering. So let's remember what was going on in your life the second two weeks the last two weeks of August. I was carefully watching the birds in my garden. They were eating many berries and I found that pretty difficult. So I got to learn about what's really important to me. About setting boundaries as well as deciding where to let them go. We were invited to think about what really matters to us, what is really our thing and what are things that we're holding on to that we really don't need. That is not really ours. Early September has continued to work up on this theme. Both in the Mayan astrology as well as in Greek astrology with the eclipses. Where do we need more boundaries and where do we need less? And where can we understand ourselves better so that we know what matters and what doesn't. What we want to work for and what we want to release. The more we understand what is important to us the more we can focus on that. If everybody does that then there is abundance. If everybody takes what they need and no more than that. There is enough of that which is really yours, if you're willing to align with that. If you're willing to go after your dreams and let go of the stories of others. This is how we can find abundance.

    Dream Big or Follow ? | Balancing The Child Energy

    Balancing curiosity, dreaming, open-mindedness and maturity. The Blue Monkey Wavespell runs from 2-14 August. 1 Follow father government? Or Go After Your Dream. (2:45) 2 Small steps to build peace. (8:20) 3 Become the child, with adult perspective. (16:55) 4 Astrology helps us find balance. (27:30-39:59) Curiosity can drive us into many different corners. It’s important to maintain balance; curiosity lets us learn, yet can also distract us. Remain open-minded and willing to see new perspectives. Do not fall for illusions, false stories, or deception. Approach life without preconceived notions; assume the best, whenever you can. With any energy, balance is key. We are in a constant balancing act. The energy is moving from Blue Monkey to Red Earth until Blue Night (2-14 August). The playful Monkey brings transparency; Red Earth urges us to take grounded steps and offers a new chance. We are growing the child’s perspective: daring to dream and pursuing those dreams, seeing the world with new eyes and expecting the best from the future. Without letting naivety or immaturity lead us. We need not repeat past mistakes or forget what we have learned. Don't get lured into deception, illusion, or distraction by things that do not truly matter. Remember your story, your dream, what you believe in, what is important to you. Hold on to it and follow it; it is a guiding light. When you know your dream, it steers you along the path toward the life you desire. A great way to keep balance through ups and downs is to let your dream guide you. Today is Dragon 11, teaching us about comfort. The child seeks comfort, which can be healthy, yet the adult knows when to self-soothe and when to face discomfort. Sitting with pain instead of rushing to fix it or seek external comfort. A beautiful strength emerges when we combine the dreamy, intuitive nature of a child with the wisdom and experience of an adult.

    A New Year. A New You. Yellow Seed 7.

    You are stepping into a beautiful new energy. A portal into the next 12 months. You are creating a new world, by creating a new you. A new year energy is starting in the Mayan calendar. A new year full of growth and a time to align with the seed that you want to grow. To set new intentions and plan(t) for the future. In the Dreamspell calendar, the 26th of July starts a new year energy. Seed 7 is about aligning with growth. We get to integrate and stabilize. We are building a new foundation for our lives. A new foundation for the next 4 years. We get to reap what we have sown. We are integrating what we have worked on for the past 3 years. And we get to harvest and receive from what we have worked on. It is also important we plan new seeds for the future. The Mirror asks us to evaluate what no longer works for us. What we need to let go of or move on from. What we need to leave behind. If we can accept where we are now and be forgiving of the past (White Dog) then we can move forward and grow. We can grow a new life, grow a new human. Grow a new version of ourselves. The yellow star invites us to shine. It invites us to step into our own unique expression. To be willing to shine in our own beautiful way. So allow your expression to come through, shine in that beautiful spot that makes you shine. You get to be visible you get to claim a little space for yourself. We all need our own space to return home to. So as we find opportunities for cooperation, as we find ways to come together, we can create beauty together. And then we return to our own space. Because by aligning with your own unique expression, allowing yourself to speak and communicate from your own uniqueness, you create beauty, as well. Your beauty.
