The ancient Maya thought that time was cyclic and that all eras and events repeated themselves again and again. They called the days "Kines", and grouped them in many different ways. The Mayan year was perfectly calculated and consisted of 360 days, plus five extra days used to rest and meditate. Through this, the Mayan calendar is more precise than the Gregorian calendar. These years were called "Tunes", and were grouped in 400 tun periods, called B'aktunes. Number 13 was sacred for the Maya, and 13 B'aktunes had to pass to close a complete cycle in time, which gives us the figure of 5,200 years. Righ now, we are at the end of the last B'aktun of the current era, number 13, that is, oxlajuj B'aktun (13 B'aktun in Mayan language). However, this should not be regarded as a sign of a looming disaster, but as the coming of a new age, a new beginning.

Mayan spirituality is based on a worldview, or a way to regard the universe, which indicates that everything is connected and that we are one with the earth and the elements of nature. According to this vision of life, all human beings are accompanied since birth by energy, represented by an animal or natural force called a nanual. There are 20 nahuales, and each person has also a number, ranging from 1 to 13. The nahual plus the number determine the characters people. Contact with nature is done through the Mayan priest or aj'quij (literally "The one who counts time"). Priests are those who, after much preparation, are able to kindle the sacred fire which burned the offerings made to "Ajaw" (God) - and the elements of nature that make up all that exists.
