July 13, 2007 — You may have heard something about the prophecies for 2012, coming from the Mayan and other calendars. According to what you read, it will be the end of the world or a transformation. I just read a fascinating article by a Guatemalan anthropologist at
http://www.trans4mind.com/counterpoint/barrios.shtml
in which he explains the authentic Mayan point of view, which is that it can be a time of transformation. I found it fascinating. Considering that the calendar predicted Cortes’ coming to the day, I do pay some attention! I found the comments at the end of the article, about how to live in a more harmonious way, to be a good reminder. Mastering the breath is mentioned and coincidentally I have been working a lot with my breath lately, ever since a cardiologist in Ajijic told me my heart is great but my breath is not!
