Living in Sacred Time
Aligning daily activities with the qualities of each day.
Each day of the Tzolk'in has specific qualities that favor certain activities and discourage others. By aligning important actions with appropriate days, one works with rather than against cosmic forces. This is the practical application of calendar wisdom.
Plant on the right day, and the seed knows when to grow.
Practical calendar use shows how Mayan time-philosophy guides daily life.

Each day favours some activities and discourages others. Working with the day, rather than against it, is the practical use of all the counting.
