The Blue Magnetic Monkey

A New 13 day Wavespell in the Mayan Sacred Calendar

What does it mean and What’s in store for us?

We are currently moving through the centre of The Tzolkin, the Mayan Sacred Calendar, referred to as ‘The Mystic Spine’ and in a way mirroring the spinal pathway in the human body. The Blue Magnetic Monkey (wave starting Saturday 2^nd August) falls ‘dead centre’ in this pathway, the ‘middle of the middle’, indicating a time where everything is heightened, including our own sensitivities. In a sense we are closer to Source, God. Nothing is known. Just like the Buddhist philosophy of ‘emptiness’, this energy reminds us that permanence and a connection to something is merely an illusion, that in actuality there is no separation, because we were never separate from anything in the first place. We are part of everything and everything is part of us. When there is nothing but a blank canvas…imagine the infinite possibilities?

I saw someone recently comment on a post that when we observe the ‘healed parts’ of ourselves in adulthood, they look very much like the parts we loved about ourselves in childhood! For example, if you loved the freedom of expression that dance/movement gave you as a child, but then suppressed that part of yourself as you grew older; so, as you heal, the adult part of you will intuitively crave that same sense of freedom and expression… And you may well want to put back on your dancing shoes! The Blue Monkey teaches us, we are inherently the proverbial child, full of spontaneity, trust, innocence and a lust for life. Most of us have spent our lives building impermeable walls around that child to protect him/her from the harsh knocks of life, especially if trauma has played a part in those journeys. In truth, this child aspect of us is the part that needs to radiate brighter in a monkey wavespell and rekindle the wonder and magic for everything that the universe has to offer.

‘We must remain as close to the flowers, the grass, and the butterflies as the child is who is not yet so much taller than they are.’ Friedrich Nietzsche

Working with ‘Healing the Inner Child’ modalities (Psychotherapy; CBT Therapy) would be a powerful personal journey to undertake during this wavespell. Letting go of childhood trauma and all that doesn’t serve you, so regaining your ‘path of innocence’ at this step of the soul, often leaves you with a feeling of having been ‘re-born’.

Those born under the Monkey Mayan sign are quick witted, intelligent and curious creatures, with well-honed problem-solving capabilities. But all that craving for higher mind connection and sifting through lofty, obscure equations (a turn off for most people) will leave the monkey quite often ‘ungrounded’ and adrift, like being at sea without a lifejacket! Letting those mental sparks fly unbridled may just give you an unwanted headache in this wave. Seeking connection in nature and particularly to the earth itself whilst treading lightly but barefoot upon the earth is the way towards calming the monkey mind, and finding peace.

Look at the fascinating image that has been created especially for this blog. The Blue Monkey sits in a commanding pose, looking every inch like the master of his own universe, against a backdrop enriched with Mayan glyphs and symbolism. He holds the ethereal cosmos in his hands, radiating the light of life and fire within him, because he is a part of the cosmos and the cosmos is a part of him. There is something vaguely impish about his gaze and we are reminded here that the monkey can also be wily and full of mischief, he likes to play and thinks “seriousness is a disease!”.

A monkey wavespell however can often throw some curved balls our way; watch out for things not quite appearing ‘as they seem’. As we learn from Loki, the shape shifting trickster in Norse mythology, the Monkey wave is capable of producing undeniable mayhem… both in our external and internal worldview.

Astrologically the full moon appears in potent Aquarius on the 9^th and we may well be pulled toward humanitarian pursuits or involved in something requiring a more community focused approach; reinforcing the idea that there is power in numbers. Understand that career changes offering a more fulfilling and meaningful role might also involve sacrifices along the way, creating some tension in our personal stories.

Blue Monkey can bring lightness to the darkest of pain, without being irreverent. That is because Monkey lives for the day, finding communion with the unseen forces and creating magic, even in the density of human despair. Martin Luther King famously said; “Darkness cannot drive out darkness…only light can do that”.

We are continuously experiencing high voltage energy pouring onto this planet through various gateways activated by eclipses, extra-ordinary astrological configurations, unseen forces and a mass raising of our consciousness on a global scale.  As this energy moves through these gateways, it becomes cemented in the earth…gathering and becoming part and parcel of every element on the planet.

Use this energy!

The Blue Monkey wavespell brings to the surface and shines a light on all those muddy places where illusion has been masquerading as ‘apparent reality’. That’s a pretty serious and despondent state to be locked into. Monkey energy will dissolve rigidity and control, so its message tells us to ‘lighten up’, literally. Use the light in this wavespell to remain in a state of open-heartedness… and remember that the Cosmos can also be our playground!

“Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them”…”The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation, but your thoughts about it. All problems are illusions of the mind”. Eckhart Tolle

Happy Monkey Wavespell!
