In Lak'ech Ala K'in

"In Lak'ech Ala K'in"

The Living Code of the Heart

'Center of the Sun'

In Mayan tradition, there is a greeting that many people working with Mayan wisdom know of. It is the law of In Lak'ech Ala K'in, which means I am another yourself (A modern day interpretation). It also means I am you, and you are me (A traditional Mayan interpretation). We have come to understand that this Mayan greeting is an honoring for each other. It is a statement of unity and oneness. In Lak'ech Ala K'in mirrors the same sentiment of other beautiful greetings such as Namaste for East India, Wiracocha for the Inca, and Mitakuye Oyasin for the Lakota. It doesn't matter which culture you come from. But when one of these sacred greetings is given, there is always an action of placing the hands over the heart.

Thank you for sharing that info.........It is good for us to learn more knowledge re: other cultures.....whereupon we can acknowledge their culture by showing respect by taking the time out to at least learn how to greet!
