UR is the second rune in the Armanen Futhork, associated with the power of healing. I discovered in my own journey that as I gravitated towards a more esoteric approach, I also got more interested in the healing arts. Today I am an internationally qualified TRE (Trauma/Tension Release Exercises) facilitator and Reiki master. I studied healing modalities in mysticism and I am practicing Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi-gong and mindfullness meditation as a healing modalities. I practice the art of vowel sounds and the six healing healing sounds on a regular basis to maintain my health. For healing to work optimally the base must be in place eating, drinking, sleeping, exercise and correct breathing with moderation is essential for maintaining a healthy body and mind. For the mind a philsoophy of Stoic thinking that embrace the idea of focusing on virtues can inherently improve our ability to life more healthy in life. I can not overemphasize the value I put on moderation as a central focus for health. People do diets and training programs of all sorts and shift from the one to the other. I maintain that without a habit of moderation all these efforts will only lead to temprary results.
I am not reflecting on this to boost my self worth but rather to demonstrate that my journey is marked by a very definite change in interest in health and the importance of maintaining health as a means to improve our quality of life. No matter how sick a person is or how bad one’s health is, we can improve our well being by being more aware of natural means available to everybody to improve the level of our health and to live optimally within our restrictions. I do not advocate that anybody must shun modern medicine or avoid their general practitioner. These healing processes is complementary and focused on maintaining a state of health for a longer period. UR has a very special place for me in the application of the runes and its use since healing eventually becomes more important.
I postulate that the soul is characterised by reason and beauty but I have discovered more and more that “healing” or well being is also an urge of the soul. After all it is our subconsciousmind that relentlessly maintain all the involuntary functions of the body.
UR drills down to the root cause of illness. As a mystic that root cause is not the symptoms doctors use to diagnose an illeness. It is in the psychic body and with that often in the karmic memory that the true cause of an illness begins to manifest. Negative thoughts and emotions has a weakening effect on the psychic body that in turn reduces our ability to resist illness. We can drill to the root cause of an illness by following symptoms but often the true root cause lies on an energetic level of a deeper psychic level. UR is the rune that teaches us to go to these causes that you see when you elevate yourself above the physical plane and look from a metaphysical perspective.
