A cocktail of vibrational upliftment!

What things give you energy?

Feeling tired? Want to try something new to boost your energy? My answer is Rune yoga or Rune gymnastics! Language is powerful, and symbols that resemble sound in the form of letters are even more so! Rune yoga emulates these symbols, representing speech. But it’s not just about the sounds; each symbol carries deep cosmic meaning.
Confused? Here’s how it works: The old Norse developed a writing system called runes. They used it like we use an alphabet today. But these symbols weren’t just for writing; they were steeped in an ancient cosmology of energies available to humans. Each rune is filled with vibrational energy we can tap into.
By mimicking the specific rune with our bodies and chanting its sound, we enter a space of vibrational transformative energies that revitalizes mind and body! Imagine it as an energy cocktail you can drink that gives you an extra boost of feeling good!

Accessing vibrational energy through body postures


What’s amazing is that different runes access different energy fields. Some ground us, while others lift our mood and spirit. It’s like a piano keyboard: different keys represent different notes, and different runes result in different health benefits. We just need to learn each rune’s effect to play a melody of inner well-being.
I’m sure there are many ways to boost your energy through diet, sleep, exercise, etc. But for me, it’s delving into the arcane art of Rune postures and their frequencies.
Imagine yourself standing in a quiet room, bathed in soft, natural light. You close your eyes and take a deep breath, feeling the cool air fill your lungs. As you exhale, you begin to chant the rune FA, ffffffffffffaaa, its sound echoing through your mind and body.
Your body takes on the shape of the rune, your arms outstretched like branches reaching for the sky. You can feel the tension melting away from your muscles, replaced by a sense of calm and centeredness. The vibration of the rune’s sound seems to pulsate through your entire being, a comforting warmth spreading through your chest.
As you continue to chant, you visualize the rune’s meaning: wealth and abundance. You can almost taste the sweetness of success, the feeling of satisfaction that comes from achieving your goals. The rune’s energy fills you with a sense of optimism and hope, a belief that good things are coming your way.
Rune yoga is more than just physical exercise; it’s a journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth. By connecting with the ancient wisdom of the runes, you can tap into a powerful source of energy and unlock your full potential.

Rejuvenation

What rejuvinates you, makes you feel most alive?

Being rejuvenated for me is finding my passion restored or experiencing a new sense of enthuisasm. Sometimes you might feel tired or like the world has turned itself against you and yet you feel an surge of energy to address those depressing conditions in full confidence that you can improve a situation. That rise in enthusiasm or surge in energy is for me rejuvination.

I am most rejuvenated when I wake up and have the space to meditate, do vowel sounds and then do some physical exercise e.g. Tai Chi or Yoga. Once these things have been done I like to do my work but work that is challenging and requires thinking to find new solutions.

I am rejuvenated when I can add value to the lives of other people. I feel empowered when I present a yoga class or lead a Tai chi session in my work environment.  I enjoy it when I have a client to guide through a TRE session, a reiki session etc. These are means of making a difference for another person in a tangible level. If I can empower people to not be dependent on that help but to become more competent in mastering their own lives I feel stronger and more self confident. My life is not perfect and self mastery, as I have as ideal in my mind, is still far from a reality in my own life but the fact is that there is always others that have not mastered a part of their life, that I have mastered, and therefore can share what I know. In the process the collective is lifted to greater mastery, each on an individual level.  I have long wanted to leave a legacy to the world of great magnitude as those heroes we see throughout history….but I have realised that, that might not realise and that I need to be satisfied if I can make today a difference in the life of one individual.  In truth that does not even have to be a major intervention like Tai Chi, Yoga etc. A simple smile that uplifts the downcast mood of another or a word of encouragement that lifts their spirit can make as a significant difference. The point is that making a net contribution, no matter how small or brief, that rejuvenates me.

I have also found that doing a public presentation rejuvenates me…there is a thrill when you present a topic and you have people riveted  to their seats and or amazed at finding a new perspective on a topic. I had been a toastmaster for many years and sadly had dropped my membership but I still remember the amazing feeling of having given a animated presentation. I often wished I could get a job that allows for more public presentations because I certainly am rejuvinated when I speak in public. Even at times when I am in a meeting and can add value with a statement that is well formulated, I am rejuvenated.

In my work environment itself I am rejuvenated by achievement. Finding solutions, delivering value, pioneering new approaches and persisting until results are obtained are the things that rejuvenates me. Sometimes it takes a long time and discipline to accomplish something then one must have appreciation for the journey.  Sometimes to be rejuvinated one must stop the pursuit and just appreciate the moment or something beautiful along the road.

In terms of relaxation driving out with the Jeep club onto an escarpment with a panoramic view is rejuvenating. Breaking out of the rut of live and getting into a new environment that instill wonder and awe is the tonic that can establish rejuvenation.  But I do not always have to drive out with a 4×4 vehicle…sometimes it is walking trhrough a new shop, visiting an art gallery or anything similar where one escapes from the normal and find beauty in diverting your course for a moment. Walking down a beach or down a new road in town, with mindfullness being present, can be rejuvenating for me.

What rejuvenates you? Have you tapped into your source of feeling alive?

Energy beyond the physical

Energy is the ability to do work. On a physical level energy is accumulated and refined through the digestive system, repertory system, nervous system and brain. A certain amount of energy is needed to live a quality life that will be consumed before we can begin to experience that energy on a higher level of being.

The psychic body is connected to the physical body but not as most people think the effect of the physical body. The body is the result of the physical body. The psychic body is the pattern or energy mould to which the physical body is shaped and formed. Everything happening in the body is the direct result of what is happening and changing in the psychic body. Mystics has claimed for a long time that illness is not just physical but the result of shifts or changes in the psychic body. Think of the psychic body as the intent projected by the soul onto the physical world. This is the reason why we say that the physical body has a counterpart organ for each that is available in the psychic body and why a person who has a limb amputated can still feel that limb even though it is no longer there.

The physical body is not the cause but the result of the psychic body. The physical body consumes energy to maintain itself and in the process depletes the energy from the psychic body. The food, air and impressions entering the physical body are transformed through the action of the psychic body on the physical body. Natural man lives from an awareness of the physical body while spiritual man lives from a perspective of the spirit moving into the physical body and acting on the physical body. 

In order to have an out of body experience as a wilful act the mental energy of intent is needed. A wilful out of body experience that happens ad hoc and almost as a discovery is not wilful. A wilful out of the body experience happens when the person want to have the experience. Three aspects must be coordinated to enable an out of body experience. This means the psychic body must act on the physical body to sustain itself in order to temporarily detach the astral body while remaining conscious. Firstly there must be an establishment of a sense of security and love within the body which emanates from the thymus gland and the heart chakra. So the psychic body must first establish that sense of coherency and stability in being. Secondly a channel must me created for the astral body to leave the physical body through acting on the thyroid gland and throat chakra. This process enables the maintenance of the so called silver cord that keeps a link between the body and the astral body. Lastly the projection of the astral body itself is enabled through the pineal gland and third eye chakra. This is the process that enables us to make the out of body experience purposeful and to maintain a conscious memory of it.

In a nutshell the out of the body experience is a process of security, intent, projection with the three aspects of psychic energy working together on the physical body.  This explains also why it is not always easy for people to astral travel wilfully. If any one of the three is not working in conjunction the possibility of a successful out of the body experience is limited. From an energy perspective the energy for an out of the body experience is accumulated in the thymus/heart chakra, released through the thyroid/throat chakra and then directed by the pineal/third eye chakra. I can reemphasise that it is not the body projecting but the psychic body operating on the physical body that makes it possible. Psychic energy comes from without and collaborate with the physical body through the specific chakra’s and glands. Also note that it is not the psychic body that is experienced during an out of body experience but the astral body. The psychic body maintains the conditions that enables the out of body experience and which determines how much of the experience can be maintained on a conscious level.

 

What is energy?

Energy is defined in science from a mechanical perspective as the capacity to do work. It can also be seen as the strength and vitality to sustain mental or physical activity. Off course Einstein ‘s famous equation defines energy as a relationship between mass and the speed of light. For most of us we see energy in terms of how we feel in terms of being able to do something. We here people say: “I don’t have the energy now to do this” meaning they don’t feel they can sustain the effort to reach a particular outcome. I would define energy as latent potential, ready to become actual potential in order to achieve an outcome. The sun’s energy has within it the potential to sustain life. The human energy begins at a cellular level where food and air is transformed into energy for physical activities as well as refining that energy for psychic activities. So energy is a complex topic with multiple perspectives and approaches.
