Wavespell of the Yellow Star
December 12-24, 2010
(Kins 248-260)
 
     On December 12, the Wavespell of the Yellow Star starts, thirteen days to awaken your inner ":artist" and develop your creativity!
 
     When we live from our ego, we judge things and people by their external appearance. We struggle with the “perfect image” and we are uncomfortable if it doesn’t fit into “the mold”. When we live from our soul, we experience joy on a deeper level; we live in the flow while seeing Beauty in everything and everybody!
 
     “There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few that will catch your heart. Pursue these,” is a quote from Michael Nolan. When cultivating Beauty, we learn how to live from our hearts. We also appreciate simplicity and our surroundings in gratitude, freedom and wellbeing.
 
     The Yellow Star invites us to become the architects of our lives and to live it as a piece of art. We need to understand that we are co-creators with creation and that change comes from within first. We can consciously choose what we want to attract into our lives, making us feel confident and learn how to live in harmony.
 
     In these intense times, it is very easy to get caught in our daily obligations and responsibilities. Everything seems chaotic and impossible to accomplish within the required—or self-imposed—deadlines. But, as John Lennon reminds us in Beautiful Boy, “Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans”. It is very important in these days to find balance between doing and being, giving ourselves the time and space to “unplug” and to breathe consciously, create and just be…
 
     During the Wavespell of the Yellow Star, we are invited to go out of the routine, to break with old patterns and to think outside the box. When you are involved in a creative project, can you enjoy the process or you are attached to the outcome and the opinion of others? In other words, can you let your imagination flow freely or do you limit yourself by being worried about the end result, and what others will say about it?
 
     Artistic expression is more than painting or writing poetry. It is a profound connection with the source of inspiration that allows our soul to express itself in infinite ways for our higher Self to expand and be manifested in the physical world.
 
     We are all unique beings and we have original ways to express ourselves. Through self-acceptance and a deeper connection with our true self, we align ourselves with our essence, Mother Nature and cosmic energies. Thus we awaken our creativity, we have the courage to be authentic and we are able to share our gifts with the world!
 
**********
 
     The Wavespell of the Yellow Star is the last Wavespell of the Green Castle and it represents the end of the Tzolkin cycle of 260 days. It is time for completion and balance. What have you learned by following the previous Wavespells and putting them into practice? Have you befriended your ego and allowed your soul to express itself?
 
     Ask the Yellow Star for guidance and it will show you the way! If you are open and receptive to the energies, you will become a divine channel, you will be able to expand your horizons and live a meaningful life.
 
     Honor Beauty in its higher expression… It’s time to shine!
