Rune Yoga: A Dance with Ancient Symbols for Wholeness and Connection

In the hush of stillness, I find myself, a silent observer in the symphony of nothingness. The world’s clamor recedes, replaced by an inner resonance, a gentle hum of pure existence. I am present, here and now, unburdened by the weight of agendas or expectations.

The runes, those ancient symbols of power and wisdom, dance within the theater of my mind, their energies coursing through my being like an invigorating elixir. My body, once a vessel of tension, now vibrates with newfound vitality, my limbs awakened, ready to embrace the threshold of expanded consciousness.

I sip the water, its coolness cascading down my throat, a refreshing libation for my body’s temple. My mind, once a whirlwind of thoughts, now settles into the depths of stillness, the chatter of the ego quieted, replaced by an aroma of serene awareness.

As dawn paints the eastern sky with hues of gold and crimson, I honor the ancient wisdom of the North, performing the sacred rites of rune postures and galdr. With each rune I trace, I invite its essence to permeate my being, its meaning and power resonating within my core.

Standing bathed in the sun’s warm embrace, I cast my shadow upon the earth, a mirror image of my physical and mental selves. The runes MAN and EH emerge from the depths, symbols of the interconnectedness of my being. My spirit hums with an inner radiance, a remembrance of its true nature.

In a moment of profound connection, the sun transforms into a celestial portal, igniting my consciousness with the boundless energy of the runes. I transcend the confines of the physical realm, my awareness expanding into the vast expanse of the cosmos.

Each rune, a vessel of ancient knowledge, finds its rightful place within me, weaving a tapestry of wholeness, harmony, and balance. The vibrant grass beneath my bare feet pulsates with life, and the nearby tree whispers secrets of the interconnected web of nature.

The universe, in all its seen and unseen dimensions, embraces me in a moment of pure magic, a prelude to my return to the mundane world. Though the tranquility of this sacred space may fade, the echoes of the runes will linger within, a beacon of strength and wisdom amidst life’s ever-shifting tides.

Unveiling the True Self: A Journey into Inner Peace with the Rune IS.


In the labyrinth of life, where roles intertwine and personas dance, there lies a hidden sanctuary, a sacred space where true nature resides. This is the domain of the Rune IS, the ninth rune of the ancient Futhorck alphabet, a beacon of inner strength and unity that guides us towards the essence of our being.

IS, with its unwavering presence, reminds us that we are not merely the sum of our roles, the masks we wear in the theater of life. Beneath these fleeting personas lies the true self, an eternal flame that burns brightly amidst the shifting currents of existence.

The true self, untainted by external storms, stands as a silent observer, witnessing the ebb and flow of emotions, thoughts, and actions. It is a sanctuary of tranquility, a reservoir of unwavering integrity and grace.

Today, heeding the call of IS, I embark on a journey into the depths of my true self. With each step, I delve deeper into the realm of pure being, where effortless action meets effortless perception.

The path to this inner sanctum is not one of strenuous effort or forced striving. Instead, it is a gentle surrender, a letting go of the masks and personas that hold us captive. It is a journey of self-discovery, of uncovering the hidden treasures that lie dormant within.

As I navigate this path, I am reminded of the Norse mindset, where war was a means of survival, but peace remained the ultimate goal. True strength, after all, resides not in external conquests but in the unwavering serenity of the true self.

In this pursuit of inner peace, I invite you to join me. Let us together embark on this exploration of the Rune IS, seeking the wisdom and guidance it offers. Together, we can unveil the true selves that lie dormant within, embracing the tranquility that awaits us in the depths of our being.

~ on control ~

I’m changing my mind. I have always seen control as being an illusion, since there are so many unpredictable things that can happen in life. I cannot even remember what caused this belief within me.

In my quiet time today, I took out again the idea of control. As a fresh monad, I had to consider and challenge my perceptions and conclusions on the topic. I realized how much the technology that surrounds me is dependent on control to ensure a more predictable outcome. I realized that my health is in a similar way dependent on how I control my everyday life: my breathing, my eating, my sleeping.

Control requires a feedback loop, called. cybernetics. I should bring mindfulness into my life as a means of cybernetics. Right now, after every action or thought, I should ask myself, “Was it beneficial or uplifting?” Is healthy for my mind, body, and spirit? Too often, we just do without consciously closing the loop to ask if the action just completed, the word just spoken, or the thought just thought has taken us towards our destiny or what we want to become.

I must not miss the value of applying cybernetics into my live. Sure, things will go wrong and unexpected things will happen, but then it is the conscious awareness of the feedback loop that will assist me to return to my original call or destiny, enabling me to correct my actions and words, and redirect myself into the direction I need to go. The more regular the feedback loop, the more frequent the correction and less traumatic the action.

Today I realized that I can change my mind on the concept of control and it is liberating!

~ on the purpose of the sun ~

~ on the purpose of the sun ~

Oh, Sun, you ancient being of the solar centre.
Why do you exist, what motivates you to shine?
Is your purpose to imbue purpose within life?
In the development of consciousness?
or are you just an accidental ball of nuclear?

The sun, existing in material space and time,
No inherent purpose, it simply is; a natural object that exists;
In the universe, gravity, slowing down time;
Vital source to the existence of life on Earth.
Without the sun’s energy, no life, no consciousness.

I value you, oh Sun, for life and consiousness!
Activator of seasonal change in weather patterns
Power wheel of the water cycle,
Essential for plant growth and food production.
Established constant radiance of heat to make earth habitable for life.
Establishing the cycle of birth, growth and decay.
Light rays opens the spectrum of light for eyes to see
Ultraviolet radiation stimulate vitamin D, essential element for human health.
Don’t you also open the third eye of illumination?

I greet you ancient Wisdom of spiritual illumination,
Focus of worship for eons, in human imagination,
Oh, Sun, you spiritual being of great cosmic intelligence.
Bringer of light and warmth, essential for physical and spiritual life on Earth.
Source of the vital life force that animates all living things, hidden in breath.
Shaper of human consciousness to awaken a higher spiritual man.
Gateway to spiritual worlds, I acknowledge You!

Oh, Sun, your purpose is a mystery,
But your importance to life is clear.
You are the source of energy and light,
Essential for all that we hold dear.
Thank you, Sun, for all that you give
To mankind, equally to each without judgement.
