El Quetzal Issue 9: 1 Caban
 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Trecena of 1 Caban
 Featured Videos | The Trecena of Introspection Caban, or “Earth”, rules the thirteenth trecena. This is the time to use your powers of intellect and perception, of acuity and insight, of harnessing all that rational, left-brain power for your personal growth or to guide others, if that is your calling. But as with all dualities, one side can’t function well without the other, so as always, seek balance even while you focus on one. You will need a significant amount of personal and mental freedom during the next thirteen days… so make room for you, for your soul, for your heart and mind. Clear your calendar, ask for more free time of your family. Organize your bedroom, office or reading nook, and dedicate those times of the day that are naturally yours, to you and only you—this may be the dawn, late morning, afternoon, evening, or even late at night. Only you know your natural inner rhythms. Honor your circadian time. The principal challenge of Caban is not to allow its acute sensitivities and powers of perception to bubble up into emotional upheavals, or to block it from living in the present moment. What is past belongs there; what is future is in your hands. But it is only through your decisions in the present time that your future is defined. This is why so many ancients and sages will tell you, live in the one moment, the ever-present, and think not of the past or future. For they are both already there, in that one eternal, flowing moment. Trust your intelligence. Trust your instincts. Just make sure to keep them balanced, free and pure. Join us on the daily journeys of each Trecena, online at Facebook and Twitter. Music of the Sun For the music lovers in our community, you may want to know about a new CD by the European group Balanza. Artists Martina Schröder and Wolfgang Krois have composed an absolutely beautiful series of twenty songs for the Tzolk’in, one for each sacred Sun Sign. The CD is called “Camino del Sol,” Spanish for “Path of the Sun”. We were sent a copy by the artists to preview and must say it is just extraordinary. How lovely to have a musical interpretation of the Sacred Tzolk’in. For ordering info, please visit the Mayan Majix marketplace or go directly to www.mayanmajix.com/cd.html. Update on the MCP Marketplace Late last year, we announced the upcoming Mayan Calendar Portal Marketplace. Since then, many of you have been writing in to inquire for details on how to become members; thank you so much for your interest, and please know we will be reaching out to everyone soon! For those who are new to the Portal or to this newsletter, the MCP Marketplace will open up a space on the Mayan Calendar Portal where the international Mayan Calendar community can connect and interact within a collaborative economic platform built upon the concepts embedded in the Sacred Mayan Calendar: sustainability, spirituality and natural abundance. Businesses, non profit organizations, and individual artists and professionals will be able to display their services and products, and people looking for a conscious, sustainable alternative to the current way we all do business will be able to search for them within their communities as well as globally. The launch is being planned for the first quarter of this year; we will have a launch date soon. In the meantime, for anyone interested in participating in this new socioeconomic community, please email us.

More information on the Affiliate Program can be found here:
http://www.shiftoftheages.com/become-shift-ages-affiliate
Thank you for spreading the Authentic Mayan Message! The Affiliate Program enables you to make some income to compensate for the time you are spending helping to get the word out! Below are some frequently asked questions and details about how you can be most effective using the Affiliate Program tools and what to expect:
Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
What is the Shift of the Ages Affiliate Program?
The Shift of the Ages Affiliate Program is a fast and easy way to help spread the message of the Mayans and add e-commerce to your web site. Each sale generated through your unique Shift of the Ages URL allows you to earn commissions:
• A 12% commission is earned when someone who visits the Shift of the Ages website through your unique link and becomes a Community or National Ambassador.
• An 8% commission is earned when someone who visits the Shift of the Ages website through your unique link and becomes a Planetary Ambassador.
• Two-level system, if you sign up someone who also becomes an Affiliate, you get 3% of the income that your sub-affiliate earns.
PLEASE NOTE: You MUST USE your UNIQUE Affiliate URL to lead people to the site, as it has cookies enabled to track your referral and attach their sales to your Affiliate ID. If they visit the site directly without first using your unique ID, you will not receive credit for their purchases. Always refer people to your unique Affiliate link in your emails or through the Shift of the Ages banner (embedded with your unique Affiliate Code) on your site to ensure you receive proper credit. If someone clears out the cache in their browser, the cookie will be deleted, and we will lose the ability to track your sales. This is why it is best to always refer them to your unique banner or link.
***SEE MORE about using your UNIQUE Affiliate URL below in this FAQ under 'Links and Tools'.
Does it cost me anything to become an Affiliate?
No. It is free to join our Affiliate Program; however, only Ambassadors can apply online to become Affiliates. If you can not afford to join as a $39 Community Ambassador, but would like to utilize the Affiliate Program tools to assist in sharing this critical message, email april@shiftoftheages.com.
Will you provide me with banners and graphics to use for my site?
<>Yes. We will provide you with all the needed banners, graphics, text links, and support. Once you are approved, we will provide you the banner and links to place on your site or e-newsletter.

***Profile
This profile is different from your Community website profile. This information is PRIVATE and is only for our back-office use. It tells us your vital credentials so that we can work with you and pay you. You can create your own password.
When is the film going to be released, and will we get to see it before the public?
We are not able to release the film in it's entirety before it premieres at the film festival. Once we develop our film festival schedule, we’ll have better timing to share on its release date. We will, however, continue to provide you with video clips free of charge! Once your use is approved, you can use the video clips for fund r aisers for the Shift of the Ages project, tuning events, or whatever work you are doing to help share the message.
A note from your Affiliate Program Coordinator!
