Living Energetic Intention

 

All things that are matter are made up of energy – little blips of light that move slower than the speed of light – something mentioned in the works of Deepak Chopra.

 

This energy can be thought of as living energy – this is a term I have learned from the works of James J Traitz (author of Don’t Stop you Mind). Both of these authors agree that all matter is made up of atoms; all atoms made up of electrons, neutrons and protons; these particles are made up of little bits of living energy – the little blips of light that move slower than the speed of light.

 

Since all things in our reality are made up of matter, then everything in our reality, including ourselves are nothing but energy (and lots of empty space). You, and all the things in your reality, are made up of small blips of light moving at less than the speed of light – that is, living energy.

 

This living energy that makes up all things is created from our minds that imagined what this reality must look like and how it acts. That is, conscious and unconscious intentions create the forms of energy that eventually take shape as matter in the world around us.

 

Now runes are included in this make up of all things. Runes are little bits of living energy that exist within all things. The thing about runes is that the living energy that makes up the runes was created in a time before time by beings that exist at a higher level of consciousness than any divinity that can be understood by mankind.

 

This runic energy that exists within all things, everywhere, is something that you can tap into. Runes are living bits of energy with a singular focused intention. It is this living energy that you can grasp and load into an object – like a piece of wood with a rune stave carved into it (the rune is not the carving, rather it is the energy that lives within the carving). When you do that, the piece of wood with the runic energy alive within it becomes the shaper of your new reality.

 

The Universal Principal of Attraction says “similarities attract and perpetuate”. Runic energy that has come to life in a piece of wood begins to reorient the energies that exist in the world around it. This energy can be of the nature of abundance, peace, prosperity, enlightenment, or any other intention you create it with. This runic energy draws people, situations, and reorients the energetic nature of the matter that exists around you (and it). All of these pieces working together create a new, energetic world in which you can build you new life.

 

All you have to do:

  • Tap into your own living energetic intention – what do you want to create in the world
  • Create the body for which this intention shall live in –a rune stave carved into wood
  • Bring that intention to life with the living energy of the singularly focused intention of the rune
  • Then allow the rune to work, knowing that it is working to alter the energetic nature of reality around it

Little by little, day after day you will notice your reality starting to shift.

Apparition at a Blot

Back in 2005 I atteneded South West Moot. At that moot I perfomed a blot. A friend, Randi, took this picture and captured a very interesting image. Thanks Randi for sharing!

Runes for Success Part 2

Shamanic Runes

 Runes can be used successfully in shamanic practices and spiritual journeying. Beyond the small rune stones that fit into one’s hands, runes are little bits of focused energy that exist within all things. To access this energy, we just need to change our focus, call upon the runes (by name) and surrender ourselves to their energetic influence.

There are three runes that work together to alter one’s spiritual being into a shamanic state:

Eiwaz Ei – Eiwaz (aye-wahz) is the rune of the yew tree. It is long associated with graveyard, and the realm of the dead.  Eiwaz also represents the world tree Yggdrasil. This is the conduit of energy that connects all the worlds together. Traveling along this tree is one way of achieving shamanic journeying.

EhwazE – Ehwaz (eh-wahz) is the rune of the horse. It represents travel and status of the traveler. Ancient Nordic Shaman, or Seid-workers were highly revered, if not feared, for their talents. There are stories in the Norse lore about a horse being used to cross from the land of the living, into the land of the dead. This is especially true of Sleipnir, Odin’s horse. In the case of shamanic journeying, Ehwaz represents the vehicle, or means by which a person crosses the veil. It can take on the imagery of a horse, or it can simply be the energetic conversion of one’s spiritual being into a different realm.

LaguzL – Laguz (lah-gooz) is the rune of water mysteries. Tied in with Laguz is emotions and psychic abilities. Since we are dealing with a spiritual journey, words of the conscious mind are not as useful. One must tap into their emotional being in order to process and understand the energetic states they are experiencing. The depth of the water mysteries connected with Laguz allows one to tap into this energetic part of themselves so they can truly understand the spiritual nature of the realms they are traveling to.

The combined energy of these three runes works to effectively alter ones spiritual energy to a shamanic state. It is almost as if it liquefies a person’s spiritual being so that it can easily slip out of this world and into another world. And then easily slip back.

Singing the Runes

Since runes have a phonetic value to them, they also have a sound that can be sung. When you are doing your preparation for journeying sing the rune sounds. It also helps, if you have someone drumming for you, for this person to sing the rune sounds.  It is also useful to use this rune song if you feel yourself starting to slip back, or losing focus on the journey.

Aye-leh

You can even sing the names of the individual runes so that it becomes sort of a chant:

Eiwaz, Laguz, Ehwaz – Aye-leh, Aye-leh, Aye-leh.

Drumming the Runes

Believe it or not, there is actually a drumming pattern that works for these runes. The 24 runes of the Elder Futhark can be broken down into three rows of eight runes. Based on Futhark order, and in which row the rune falls gives the number of beats that are in the pattern. For our three runes, that pattern is:

XX-XXX-XXX – This can be easily played as two quarter notes followed by two triplets. What matters here is not necessarily the timing of the beats. What matters is that you have one grouping of two beats, and two groupings of three beats.

Playing this drum beat and singing these runes will induce one into a shamanic trance. It is at this point that one needs Shamanic training in order to point themselves in the correct direction for their journey.

Final notes

It must be noted, that these runes will give one an inclination to journey to the underworld and into the realm of the dead. This is because there are two runes are associated with the dead: Eiwaz and Ehwaz. This place is not necessarily  a bad place, nor a dangerous place. It is a place where you want to be alert and aware of your surroundings, who is talking to you, and what sensations you are experiencing.

MannazA lifeline that will bring you back into reality, and into your own body is Mannaz. Mannaz is the rune of our world and of mankind. Singing this rune will bring you back into normal consciousness and back to Earth. The drum beat for Mannaz is three solid beats – XXX. Sing Mannaz and beat this rhythm until you feel yourself fully returned.

EhlazAnother useful rune is Elhaz. If ever you feel uncomfortable, uncertain, or worse, call upon the rune of Elhaz. It is a protective rune that is connected with the higher vibrational energies of the upper world. Calling upon Elhaz will dispel all those will ill intent and will bring you to a safe place

Ehlaz – spiritual rune

Its name is a connection to the spirit of the elk. It is also the energy that connects our world with higher spiritual energies of the upper worlds (the realms of the gods and ascended beings).

Runic energies are engaged with singing the name while focusing on the intent of the rune.

Intention of Ehlhaz

The intent of Ehlhaz is higher levels of spirituality and protection.
• Allow yourself to feel the connection with higher spiritual energies
• Allow yourself to know you are safe

Singing Ehlhaz:

When singing focus your mind and be aware of your breathing and how you sing the rune.
First, inhale and let yourself be filled with universal energy. Then sing the rune:

Ehl – ALE – feel energy between eyes
Haz – HAAZ – out from the mouth like an aspiration

• Energy moves into your being with the inhale
• Tuned at place between eyes – Ehl
• Fills and surrounds you – haz

This tunes your subtle being to the higher spiritual energies
1. Brings that energy through you
2. Builds up that spiritual/ protective energy in the world around you

This puts you in a protective and sacred/ spiritual place. Feel free to try it. A sacred number to Norse spirituality is 9. Sing Ehlhaz in three groups of three.

Even standing in a position with your arms raised at an angle (mimicking the shape of Ehlhaz) will bring the Ehlhaz energy into your being.

Let me know how this works out for you.

Runes for Transformation

I have written a book that is tenetavley set to be published with Weiser, later this year. It is called The Runes of Transformation

This is very exciting as I love lecturing and running workshops. I hope this book opens the door and adds tons of creditbility.

The basic premise of the book:
Reality is changeable and you can change it
There are certain elements of reality that can not be changed (physical laws, etc.), but there is a great deal of reality that is controlled and created by our own inner beleifs and expectations.
This book will take the ancient concepts of runic energy and apply them to the mental and emotion aspects of being. The runes being spiritual in nature automaticall tune a person’s energy into accepting this new reality. Once these elements are in place, then the physical reality simply alligns into place.
