In the Mayan tradition, “I’k'” is the Breath, the Air, the Spirit. The symbol of “I’k” is drawn as a T, representing a doorway into the spirit world and other dimensions.The T forms half of a cross (the World Tree) and the other half lies in the spiritworld. Many of the Mayan temples have windows and doorways in the shape of aT. They are not only physical doorways but are also spiritual doorways (a portal into the spirit world).

Just as air is exchanged in the lungs, so our consciousness exchanges thoughts, ideas and experiences with the spirits by going through the zero point. Through the breath, we can gain a clearer perspective of reality, create a state of serenity and peace and journey through the corridor of our consciousness.

The Mayan Astrology Sign Ik' is about ideas and change. It represents the wind, lightning, storms, and the renewal of life. It is the space inside your body. It makes energy come alive. It is both the crystal clearness of glass and the windows in Mayan temples.

Ik' purifies the body, mind and spirit. It is the air we breathe and the words we speak. It is the space between the earth and the sky – the air around us, between us, and within us.
