Mexico & Gautamale 1-18 February 2011
TRAVEL TO A PLACE OF PEACE:
Teotihuacan Pyramids, Palenque Waterfalls, Tikal & Uxmal Ruins
Awe - inspiring visits to the Peace Temples of the ancient Mayans, including
the ruins of TIKAL Guatemale, UXMAL Mexico - called the place of an Eternal
Moon, the breath taking waterfalls of PALENQUE Mexico and the massive Aztec
pyramid complex of TEOTIHUACAN Mexico - plus an opportunity to spend a day with
a respected Mayan shaman and visionary in the lead up to 2012.
A journey into the Soul of the Mayan and Aztec civilisations that you will
never forget!
The Trip
The trip to Mexico and Guatemale will focus on four main temples:
The pyramid complex of Teotihuacan, north of Mexico City, that holds a strong
Aztec heritage. Here you will see and experience the power of the Temples of the
Sun and the Moon.
Palenque ruins and its nearby waterfalls of Misol Ha and Aguas Azul. Palenque
is said to be central in the spiral of the feminine earth grid that is held in
South America with the masculine grid anchored in Egypt. These Mayan ruins are
incredibly beautiful and play a significant role in the maintenance of the
feminine energy for our planet. Much visited by spiritual groups from all over
the world, it is something worth seeing and experiencing… as are the pure
waters of the magnificent waterfalls and waterways of Misol Ha and Aguas Azul.
The Mayan ruins of Tikal in Tikal National Park, Guatemale, is probably a
place where I could live full time! Undisturbed by many tourists, it is one of
the hidden treasures of the world and has a purity of energy that is just like
that of Machu Picchu in Peru. No wonder that the feminine grid that splits at
Palenque goes through Tikal and then moves further down through Machu Picchu and
then Easter Island. Its magnificence is beyond words. You will love it.
Uxmal Ruins in the Yucatan part of Mexico carries a peace that is tangible,
even by just thinking about it. It has a serenity and telepathic quality that is
hard to explain. The Pyramid of the Magician is an awesome feature of the ruins
that holds many mysteries to uncover. Linked to the crystal skulls, it is a
place that is very much working with the future. Interestingly, UXMAL spelled
UCMUL by the Maya means "ETERNAL MOON". We will also have an
opportunity at UXMAL to spend a day with a much respected Mayan shaman, elder
Hunbatz Men.
Hunbatz Men is a Mayan elder who is a Shaman and teacher of traditional Mayan
wisdom and teachings handed down from generations of Mayan elders to him. He has
committed his life to transmitting the sacred teachings that he holds to others
who have an interest in these teachings. He truly believes that he can benefit
modern man by helping him understand the wisdom that the teachings of the Mayans
have to share with him. He recognizes that many were Mayans in past lives and
they are returning to reclaim their wisdom teachings, their knowledge teachings
from the past. An ancient Mayan greeting he shares with his students is "In
Lak'ech, I am you, and You are me or I am another yourself." He believes
that the way to help Mother Earth and her children return to a state of harmony
is to raise the consciousness of Earth's children once again to that of Cosmic
Consciousness.
Timing
The dates of the trip has been given under guidance as an auspicious time to
go, both energetically and also taking into account the climate, something that
is always important to consider when travelling in that part of the world.
February is winter in Central America and so much cooler than later on in the
year.
It also falls within a new moon and therefore very powerful in terms of
setting in motion, a new energy or direction.
