toMorning Energy Practice
 
Preparation: Ground with the Earth and open myself to the stars.
 
Preliminary Connections:

(Turn to the directions clockwise.)
 
Powers of the East, Lord Manik I greet you. The color red, the element fire, lesser yang.
 
Powers of the West, Lord Eb I greet you. The color black, the element earth, greater yin.
 
Powers of the North, Lord Caban I greet you. The color white, the element air, greater yang.
 
Powers of the South, Lord Ik I greet you. The color yellow, the element water, lesser yin.

(Turn counterclockwise to the East.)
 
From the Center and the color green...
 
Father Sun, I greet you. Lord [the day's chol q'ij number and sign], I greet you (see note).
 
Mother Earth, I greet you.
 
Tonanzin, Goddess of Earth, Spring, and Maize, I greet you.
 
Star Nations Connections and Grounding:
 
Connecting with my Higher Self.
 
Connecting with my Guides and Helpers.
 
Connecting with the Sona (Electra) System and Planet Kazinan.

(Kazinian frequencies)
​
Connecting with the Councils, Fleets, and Schools.
 
Connecting with the Star Nations Community.

(Collective energies ground with Earth.)
 
Distribution of Energies:
 
To the Great Architect of the Universe, Source Energy.
 
To the upliftment of Humanity and All My Relations.
 
Peace and Balance for All Beings on All Planes.

Note: When I received a message about "working in pairs" in 2023, one of the images that came to me was two bar magnets. One magnet was horizontal, and the other was vertical. Combined, they formed an equal-arm cross and represented the four directions: east (+) and west (-), horizontal; north (+) and south (-), vertical. This image has given me further insights into the chol q'ij by using it with the twenty day signs as a Mayan cross (based on teachings from the K'iche' Maya Elder Rigoberto Itzep Chanchavac in Guatemala).

Each cross arm has five signs. The first day sign of an arm is one of the four Year Bearer signs: Kej east, fire; E' west, earth; No'j north, air; Iq' south, water. They represent the attributes of the four cross arms. Then, after the first sign, the next four signs of an arm continue the sequence of the four directions and elements.

​For a given day, with its day sign and corresponding cross arm, there is a "working in pairs" with the attributes of the first sign of the arm and those of the day's sign. (For the days that have a first sign, there is a focus on that one sign as the beginning of a cross arm's five-day cycle of day signs.) In doing this as an energy practice, I experience the pairs of day signs in a way that is similar to hearing intervals in music harmony.

Another part of the chol q'ij is the 13 numbers that go with the 20 day signs to create 260 combinations (13 x 20 = 260) and the chol q'ij's cycle of 260 days. A day's number (1-13) adds its particular qualities to the interplay of the day signs. Energetically, I experience the 13 numbers as representing vibrational frequency ranges.

It has become my understanding that this practice -- as an underlying energetic structure -- was brought to people in Mesoamerica by a Star Nations team, of which I was a member, in ancient times from the Pleiades. 

Yang and yin are also part of the image of the combined bar magnets and four directions. For each magnet, yang leads to yin (grounding). Horizontal (yin): east, fire (+) = lesser yang; west, earth (-) = greater yin. Vertical (yang): north, air (+) = greater yang; south, water (-) = lesser yin. By using these attributes for the four directions and sensing them energetically, there is an experience of what I describe as a vibrational framework of existence. That is, directly and without a veneer of language. It is also interesting to reflect on how fire (lesser yang) and water (lesser yin) have transformative natures. Fire = combustion. Water = dissolution. Interacting with the other two elements, fire has an upward movement into air (greater yang), and water has a downward movement into earth (greater yin).
