4 Tijax — Grounded Healing

In the sacred Mayan calendar, 4 Tijax brings grounded clarity to the work of release, truth, and realignment. Tijax is the nawal of the obsidian blade and the spiritual surgeon that cut away what no longer serves so healing can occur. It governs truth-telling, purification, and the courage to face what is sharp, uncomfortable, or overdue for change. The number 4 offers stability, structure, and containment, helping this intense energy work in a steady, constructive way rather than chaotically. Today, 4 Tijax supports clean cuts, honest boundaries, and grounded healing.

This is a day to clear mental, emotional, and physical clutter and recommit to what is true and essential.

I have relaxed into my heart.

And still, I know and feel that this year, during my descent into depression and sleepless nights of anxiety, I built armor around my heart. Layer by layer. To the point of painful frozen shoulders I am still thawing out. This armor needs to be gently disarmed, undone, released and

Let

Go

When my heart is open, it glows bright green. I feel it as a living spiral of love, gratitude, generosity, and compassion. This happens when I am present, aware, and accepting the moment-to-moment experience of my life just as it is. And yet, so often, I forget.

I forget that I am both divine and natural as a human being.

I forget my heart and dwell too much in my mind.

I forget my mind and dissolve too fully into my heart, swept by emotional riptides.

In my best moments, I am integrated.

Heart and mind.

Life and death.

Feminine and masculine.

Day and night.

Shadow light. Light shadow.

I am here.

I am now.

I forget so that I can remember again with more tenderness, humility, and truth.

I barely recognize myself yet, I feel more at home than ever.

I am unfurling my dragonfly wings—delicate, iridescent, strong enough to fly again.

Thank you for my life.

Thank you for my existence.
