Dynamic Stances

Welcome to the Dynamic Stances section of this Elder Futhark rune learning journey. This section is designed to guide you through dynamic movements and postures that embody the energy of each rune. The exercises suggested here help you physically connect with the runes’ symbolic meanings by using movement, breath, and visualization. While some of the postures may resemble exercises from disciplines like qigong, they are not intended to be qigong or taiji. These movements were developed after years of practicing martial arts, yoga, taiji, and qigong, blending principles from those practices with runic symbolism.

It’s important to remember that the dynamic stances presented here are just suggestions and may not resonate with everyone in the same way. The movements are intended as a guide, and some may feel more relevant or powerful to you than others. The overall style is also flexible and can be adapted to suit your individual needs and experiences. These movements should serve as a starting point for your exploration, allowing you to discover your own connection to the runes through physical expression.

We encourage you to experiment with these movements, adjusting them to your own rhythm and flow as you deepen your connection with the Elder Futhark runes.

There is a video demonstrating all the dynamic postures in one movement. Below you will find links to pages with text instructions for each rune.
