Dream a New Dream: Imox Trecena Journal Entries

“Friend beyond earthly constraints, you come to me in my dreams where we play and laugh like always; I awaken rejuvenated by Love that transcends all.” ~Barbara Ann Caldwell

Imox is the cosmic womb of existence from which all creation is birthed. Since it is an emotional day sign, we may feel ultra-sensitive on Imox days. The Maya of Lake Atitlan consider 1 Imox to mark the beginning of a new 260-day cycle. It is a day of pure potential as the start of a new cycle of the sacred Mayan calendar. A fresh dream is now being conceived; a new vision is preparing to be born into reality.

Imox is water, in all its states: liquid, solid, gas, vapor, dewdrops, lakes, oceans, rivers, and streams. The next 13 days are ripe for creation, flow, trusting the unfolding of the universe, giving and receiving, and connecting with the primordial Mother energy, especially through the element of water. We are living in thrilling times of rapid change, expansion of consciousness and development. The flip side of this is technology overtaking humanity and human society damaging our home planet. These two weeks are time to ask what is real and what is illusion.

Imox is a feminine sign, unstable, creative, inspiring, dramatic and exciting. The number of Imox is one and its color is burgundy. The spirit animals of the Imox sign are the crocodile, dragon, dolphin, and all sea creatures. The shadow side of this nawal is distrust and Imox days are often challenging for folks who cling to stability and predictable routines.

Yogic Practices for the Imox Trecena and Imox Days

Asana Vinyasa flow, moon salutations, crocodile pose, shoulder stand or candlestick, fish pose, dolphin pose, headstand

Pranayama Ocean breathing (long, deep inhale; relaxed, uncontrolled exhale), square breath (breathe in for a count of 6 seconds, hold in for 6, breathe out for 6, hold out for 6)

Meditation Visualize a pristine lake at sunrise. Let your mind settle like the calm water of a glassy lake. Thoughts will naturally come and go and create ripples. Let go of thinking and come back to the present moment and the stillness and beauty of the water.
