Elhaz, the rune of protection, higher connection, and spiritual guidance, symbolizes the protective elk’s antlers or a person reaching toward the divine. This sequence channels the energy of spiritual protection and alignment, creating a connection between the individual and higher powers while also grounding and shielding the self. As you move through the sequence, focus on drawing in protective energy and extending that energy outward in all directions.

Starting Position

  • Stand in a neutral position, with your feet slightly apart, knees slightly bent, and arms relaxed at your sides.
  • Breathe deeply and center yourself, focusing on grounding your energy. Visualize yourself as a protective, strong figure, ready to reach upward toward higher guidance and protection.

Step 1: Inhale and Raise Your Arms Overhead

  • As you inhale deeply, begin to raise your arms slowly in front of your body, keeping them straight and extended with palms facing down.
  • Continue lifting your arms upward until they are extended overhead. At this point, your arms should be reaching upward, representing the vertical line of the Elhaz rune, as if you are reaching toward higher protection and divine energy. Feel the connection to the higher realms as you lift your arms, symbolizing a reaching toward divine protection and guidance.

Step 2: Turn Palms and Move Hands to the Sides

  • Once your arms are extended overhead, turn your palms inward, so they face each other.
  • Begin to move your hands outward to the sides, creating the shape of the Elhaz rune with your body. Your arms now form the diagonal lines of the rune, extending outward like protective antlers or wings.
  • In this position, visualize yourself surrounded by protective energy, like an invisible shield that extends out in all directions. Feel the power of this energy offering both protection and spiritual connection.

Step 3: Exhale and Lower Your Arms

  • As you begin to exhale, turn your palms downward, facing the ground.
  • Slowly lower your arms back along the sides of your body, maintaining control and fluidity. As your arms descend, imagine that you are grounding the protective energy into the earth, creating a stable foundation of safety and calm.
  • Return to the starting position, standing tall and centered. Feel the protective energy settling around you, reinforcing your connection to both the earth and the divine.

Step 4: Repeat the Movement

  • Continue to repeat the sequence, inhaling as you raise your arms and exhaling as you lower them. Each repetition should feel like a cycle of drawing in protection and spiritual guidance and then grounding that energy within your body and surroundings.
  • Focus on the flow of energy through the body as you move, allowing yourself to feel protected and empowered with each cycle.

By practicing this sequence, you can connect with the protective and spiritual energy of Elhaz, allowing you to feel both grounded and connected to the divine. The movement reinforces your sense of inner strength, while also drawing in the support and guidance of higher powers. Let this sequence serve as a reminder that you are protected and empowered in both your physical and spiritual life.
