Fall Greetings
Huracan, according the Mayan Sacred text the Popol Vuh, is the one legged, storm god. He was part of all three creations of man. His thought was enough to create. After the gods were displeased with the second generation of humanity, Huracan created a great flood. It is said that he also caused retribution for the men who displeased him by allowing the turkeys and dogs to chase them into the rainforest as revenge for the animals who had been killed and eaten. Some stories claim he caused the pots and cooking tools to rise up in revenge as well. The third generation were made of corn and that was their staple food.

For the indigenous Taino culture of Puerto Rico, the good spirit is Yukiyiu and the bad spirit is Juracan. Juracan is responsible for bad crops and bad weather. If something good happened, it was Yukiyiu. If something bad happened, Juracan was blamed. From an archetypal perspective, we all have the thought power of Huracan to create. We all have both Yukiyiu and Juracan aspects of our thoughts, which lead to positive and negative behaviours, which have good or bad consequences for ourselves and those around us.As you might have already deduced, our modern word Hurricane comes from the names of Caribbean and Meso-American deities.
Coaching Questions:
- How is your internal weather lately?
- Who dominates your words or thoughts- Yukiyiu or Juracan?
- What do you do when you catch a hint of cloudy conjectures or stormy signs?
- Where will you drop your pebbles of influence in the waters around you?
- What do you want to stir up in your life?
Practice makes progress!
When it comes to our reactions, there are some common negative thinking traps that we can fall into. These are hard to overcome when they stay unconscious habits of mind.
- Over-generalizing: using words like never or always to exaggerate a negative situation into a chronic state or identifying as a character trait. (ex-I never get any respect in this place. I am a loser. I will always get ignored.)
- Catastrophizing: making the worst case scenario out of an event. (ex: I didn’t get that job. I never get ahead in life and will die alone penniless.)
Becoming aware of negative thought patterns is the first step to changing them. Challenging the misperceptions and misrepresentations is the next step. By being mindful about our thoughts, we are less likely to fall victim to unconscious thinking habits. What is more-we take responsibility for them. It puts us in an empowered position. It is always better to be at cause rather than at effect in our lives
