Health shaman
We like to journey into long trips into the Eagle, constructing pyramids of thought, memories of what we think, our identity and all the stacks of knowledge we've been piling on us. Are we there yet? says the body. Ask him the answer. Today we are bound to be sensitive to the flesh and bone messages we are getting from our bodies. Our bodies are a vessel for these journeys, they will respond to our beliefs, yet all that knowledge we've been packing is worthless. Our body is a shaman, it can channel and speak to other spirits, it's who we should first be listening to, not telling it about all this bs health knowledge we apparently get. Sometimes it will ask for what you think is unhealthy, and you will deny it because your knowledge thinks that way. I'm not talking about the craving, something deeper is there, where our body simply knows better. If we can summon our own body's shaman, we can get all the answers we want. But then the answers are honest, they don't go with what our mind is trying to elucubrate, it doesn't fit into the story of who we are trying to be.

When we are active in the medicine way, our hearts and minds are attentive to where we can help, awaiting the opportunity to give our love and attention to that which needs it. It turns out with the years and the cycles, as we learn, that a world in chaos, as much as it needs our love and attention, it is highly intolerant of it. We would like to help and intervene, but spirit clearly shows that we are not to, that we must allow the processes to unfold. The greatest help we can provide, and for ourselves too, the greatest way to achieve balance, is to follow the signs where most of the time our help comes from just being there and watching, contemplating without acting. This is highly unpleasant and highly counter intuitive to the intelligence of our hearts. It does however show us how what apparently is inaction, many times is action. Our presence, mind and awareness changes the outcome of a situation. Just contemplating and being there, ready to help if asked, is many times more effective than intervention. Today's nawal brings about this lesson and wants us to find peace and balance beyond the anxiety produced by following this advice, as it is natural that we feel anxious to participate.

Spirit can be kind of tricky, or rather, we can become tricky when we receive the gift of spirit and choose to honor it. In a very visible manner, we risk falling into the trap of believing we are "the chosen one." Everyone else around seems oblivious, living without apparent purpose, following arbitrary rules, listening to directions, and marching off to work without ever questioning the script. The self-appointed "chosen one," on the other hand, walks into the room like someone riding in on a donkey, making a spectacle of themselves by pointing out the prevailing lack of direction and consciousness. They mock the illusion: there is no king, we live in a democracy—or so claim those bound in lack and debt.
Yet, walking away is not a mere fancy or an act of superior detachment; it is the necessary retreat into transformation. It is the isolation that eventually makes us stronger so that, if today's nawal message is truly understood, we can return as a community ready to invite everyone else in. Through this process of transformation and strengthening, we come to the humbling realization that "being chosen" does not make us special, nor does it make us better than anyone else. Failing to arrive at this realization locks us into a lifetime of the serpent—endlessly shedding skins without ever evolving. It must eventually die. Only after that death, after life strips away our self-importance and shows us our true place, are we ready to forge our character and elaborate the sacred ceremony that invites others to join us.
Our sensitive selves will tremble when we allow ourselves to feel the true measure of our non-importance. Only then, stripped of egoic grandiosity, can we choose to hold a firm hand and carry on with the mission entrusted to us by spirit. This is the physical embodiment of the mission—what it actually feels like to live it out, rather than merely imagining or speaking about it. In the realm of words and theory, every variable can be accounted for. But we can never fully plan for the unforeseen, nor can we prepare for the shock of the freezing water once we actually plunge into it. Many will pull back and run for the bank. Only those with a firm hand will press forward and reach the other side.
A firm hand understands that a hand can only hold a single tool and trace a single line; we cannot grasp or control the vast whole. This is the precise transformation and gathering taking place within humanity today. We are evolving into an organic system that functions solely through communal cooperation and uncontrolled freedom—the very system of life over which we so foolishly deemed ourselves superior. True leadership is nothing more than lending a hand to whoever demonstrates a genuine interest in joining the work. Joining the work means taking initiative, not waiting passively for a leader to do the heavy lifting. Having a steady hand means feeling the violent turbulence all around you and refusing to quit.
Kej (Deer) represents the deer, the four pillars of creation, leadership, authority, the wilderness, physical strength, balance, harmony with nature, and the unwavering firmness required to walk a spiritual path. Kej is the nawal of the spiritual guide, the defender of natural law, the staff of authority, and the raw power of the forest. Paired with the stabilizing, organizing, and multi-dimensional frequency of the Number 6—the energy of Waqib', representing the six directions (North, South, East, West, Above, Below), organic structure, family, community, and the physical framework that holds space—this sign demands that spiritual authority be grounded in humility, balance, and firm, collective responsibility.
To embody 6 Kej is to step up as a pillar for others without elevating yourself above them. Occupying the sixth position of the Iq’ trecena, this energy calls you to drop the arrogance of being "awakened," anchor your four legs firmly on the earth, and use your strength not to posture, but to guide the collective through the cold waters of transformation with a steady, unshakeable hand.
