TikTok's viral trick to preserve avocado is dangerousThe Maya base their spiritual belief system on the fact that we are interconnected with our surroundings. The nahuales (equivalent to Ruwäch q'ij "protector of nature") are the representations of the energy and spirit of nature.
According to Mayan beliefs, the life of each of us can be better governed if we know the meaning of our nahual protector, but also, if we understand the importance of our presence in the world. The nahuales or nawales mean energy, spirit or strength of beings and elements of nature. Each person has his own nahual according to the day he was born and applied to the Cholq'ij calendar.
According to the Mayan civilization, each person adopts the characteristics (positive and negative) of his nahual protector. But, being influenced by the energy of the cosmos, in the course of our life, factors such as the day we were conceived and the position of the planets and stars play an important role. To fully understand the meaning of each nahual and its role in the daily life of our universe, it is necessary to immerse yourself in the belief system of the Maya.
