Nawal of the day

Dresden Mayan Codex

The Flower is the Nawal's symbol

The Nawal is the vibration of a specific day.

It represents the Inner vibration of the new created entity. If you are born this day, this vibration will be your own Nawal. You will keep it during your whole life as your proper character and destiny.

Each one should take the road of his Inner World and find the way to balance himself from inside. Our behavior in the Outer world is directly related to our understanding of our Inner World.

The quest of the real Warrior is an inner fight against himself, the sacrifice of his ego and the discover of the transparency of the world, the erasing of the illusion.

The Nawal will be your helper and guide in life. It will tell you what are your strengths and weaknesses.

Remember that each day of the Tzolkin cycle has a specific Nawal. Find the way to synchronize your Inner World with the energy of the present.

Imagine the flight of a bird in the sky. His intention gives him the reason why he is flying, his character is his own manner of flying. Then his flight needs balance to be able to stay in the air into the specific weather of the day..

The fractal consciousness, the integration of the universe!

If the definition of a fractal is
"a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole"
and if one fractal can be drawn or built then the universe is fractal!
