“Ruk'u'x Chuqaa' Chpaam Kimoon K'uxlaal”

The Heart and Courage of Life’s Weaving

“I Carry the Mountain in My Breath”

A Ceremonial Introduction to Living Within Two Lands

from the Earth Remembers Series

Blessing in the Tz’utujiil Maya Way

The First Weaving of Light — Receiving Kimoon K’uxlaal

Place your hand over your heart.

Breathe gently through your nose.

Whisper:

“Heart Within me,

I am ready to receive

the cellular light of the land.

Let the volcanoes, the lake, the trees,

the cornfields, the moonflower, the cloud forest, the mountains

weave their light into my chest, my bones, my spirit.

This is Kimoon K’uxlaal —

the many becoming One Heart.”

Rest in silence.

Know that the landscapes are already within you,

their light weaving softly through your cells.

Blessing in a Western Perspective

The First Weaving of Light — Receiving the Inner Cellular Light

Place your hand on your heart.

Feel the warmth of your own presence.

Breathe gently through your nose.

Whisper:

“I open to receive

the light within my body.

I allow the breath to soften my pain.

I let light flow through my spine, my neck, my shoulders.

This light is not outside me,

but already alive in my cells,

ready to guide me into new movement,

new possibilities,

new wholeness.”

Rest for a moment.

Trust that the light has already begun its work within you.

⸻

Together, these two blessings form a bridge: one rooted in the Tz’utujiil ceremonial landscapes, the other in Western somatic language. Both will guide you from image → breath → heart → cellular light → resting in renewal.

“Ruk'u'x Chuqaa' Chpaam Kimoon K'uxlaal”

The Heart and Courage of Life’s Weaving

Opening Blessing

I breathe into the loom of my heart.

Here, in the center of my chest,

I feel the fire-seed of light alive within each cell.

Even as fear rises, even as the world trembles in chaos,

I remember: this too belongs.

Every shadow is a thread in the weaving.

Every pain is already resting in the lap of the Great Grandmother’s Light.

I call upon Kimoon K’uxlaal —

The Weaving of Many into One Heart.

Let my breath carry me inward,

into the quiet place where courage awakens.

With each inhale, I draw the struggle of my life

into the fire of the heart within.

With each exhale, I release threads of light

that weave my body, my mind, my spirit

back into the One Heart of Earth.

I open my nine senses to this remembering:

Sight — I see the radiance within all forms.

Hearing — I listen for the word that listens back.

Smell — I breathe the fragrance of living Earth.

Taste — I receive the sweetness of this moment.

Touch — I feel the warmth of cellular light in my skin.

Thermoception — I sense the fire and coolness of the Great Grandmother’s breath.

Nociception — I welcome even pain as a messenger-thread in the weaving.

Proprioception — I remember my body as a staff of light.

Balance — I walk the road of One Heart with steady feet.

Here, the unknown possibilities awaken.

Here, my outer action flows not from fear,

but from the courage and kindness of the One Heart.

I speak from this weaving,

I move from this weaving,

I live from this weaving.

So even in challenge, chaos, or fear,

I shift into the knowingness of One Heart —

and from here I act, I love, I live.

⸻

This Opening Blessing carries the rhythm of a combination of both the Tz’utujiil Maya way and a Western perspective, woven together into one flow.

This is how it moves between the two Perspectives:

Tz’utujiil Maya Resonance

• “I breathe into the loom of my heart” — evokes the ancestral image of weaving as sacred practice, central to Tz’utujiil Maya worldview. The loom is both body and cosmos.

• “Every shadow is a thread in the weaving” — reflects the Tz’utujiil sense that even suffering and challenge belong within the greater whole, not to be rejected but integrated.

• “Lap of the Great Grandmother’s Light” — echoes the presence of ya Mri’y Kastilyaan, the Great Grandmother of Light, who carries the threads of life into balance.

• “Kimoon K’uxlaal — The Weaving of Many into One Heart” — is a direct Tz’utujiil expression of relational life, that all beings are already woven together.

⸻

Western Resonance

• “Center of my chest … fire-seed of light alive within each cell” — uses language shaped by modern cellular and somatic imagery, accessible to a Western scientific or spiritual body-based perspective.

• “Nine senses” described individually — organizes perception in a list-like structure, which mirrors Western teaching formats, though it is infused with Maya vision.

• “I shift into the knowingness of One Heart” — speaks in the language of psychological and spiritual self-transformation, familiar in Western contemplative and therapeutic traditions.

⸻

The Flow

This blessing is a weaving of both worldviews into one — much like the loom in the illustration at the top of the page.

• The Maya threads hold the ceremonial imagery of weaving, belonging, Great Grandmother’s Light, and Kimoon K’uxlaal.

• The Western threads give it accessibility through body-somatic references (cells, senses, center of chest) and the reflective structure of inner-to-outer transformation.

Together, this creates a bridge language — a ceremonial flow that can be heard and felt in both Tz’utujiil Maya heart-ways and Western spiritual/therapeutic ears.
