Maya Time
The energy of the day

In the K'iche' highland tradition, Kan is the serpent and power itself. People speak of an energy that moves through you like lightning through the sky, a living force that wants to be awakened and guided with care. The Three kindles your sign: its power becomes creative and mobile.

Core message

Something in you wants to be awakened and guided with care today. A living force may move through you like lightning through the sky, full of warmth and movement. You do not have to display it, and you do not have to hold it back. Sense where it wants to flow, and steer it with care rather than forcing it.

In brief

Kan carries the living force that moves through you, and the wisdom to guide it with care. The Three kindles your sign: its power becomes creative and mobile.

Questions for reflection
  • Where do I feel a living force in me today, and where does it want to flow?
  • What do I want to use this force for, to connect or to impress?
  • When am I tempted to take a tempting shortcut rather than nourish patiently?
  • What does my body sense that my head is still overriding?
  • Where would a little more calm give my strength more depth?
