The Magic & Mysteries of the Sacred Ruins of Uxmal

Oxkintok (”Three Flint Suns” or “Three Day Flint”) was also an important ceremonial center in the Puuc region. Hieroglyphic inscriptions show some of the oldest dates known in Yucatan. The oldest and most well known building of Oxkintok is the Tzat Tun Tzat, Mayan for labyrinth or place in which one may be lost. Built in three levels on top of each other, its interior forms a maze of long, narrow rooms, connected by small gates and narrow stairs. As you remember, the number three repeats itself over and over again in this area.

Unique to this area are the sinkholes or cenotes in the limestone ground that supplied fresh water for the natives (considering the Yucatan has no rivers). One of my favorite activities is to have a lovely ceremony at one of the cenotes and enjoy the cool crystal clear waters. When I visit a cenote, I literally challenge myself to dive deeper into my own expanding spiritual process. This requires preparation. Getting clearer about my intent, noticing what lies in the way, feeling my longing for living from my integrity, authenticity, inner knowing and Sacred Center – and having the clarity and wisdom to know what I need to let go of is key. And then, I dive in…ahhhhh!

While here I enjoy to connecting with the history of  these ruins and tuning in to the healing and transcendence that’s been unfolding here silently for centuries. These stones hold ancient sacred wisdom and it is possible to access the wisdom within and without –  and let go of the old and what no longer serves.
