Kenaz represents the rune of fire, knowledge, creativity, and transformation. This sequence, inspired by the shape of the rune, is designed to awaken your inner flame and foster clarity and illumination within. The fluid motion mimics the energy of fire as it shifts and moves, allowing for a constant flow of creativity and insight. Like all qi-gong-based movements, the focus is on maintaining a seamless flow, with energy guided by both breath and intention.

Starting Position

  • Begin in a neutral standing position, with your feet slightly apart, knees slightly bent, and arms relaxed at your sides.
  • Take a moment to center yourself by taking a few deep breaths, grounding your energy into the earth. Visualize igniting the flame of creativity within you, ready to channel through the movements.

Step 1: Form the Shape of Kenaz

  • Inhale deeply, and as you do so, raise your right hand in front of you to eye level, with the palm facing slightly inward.
  • At the same time, lift your left hand to waist level, palm also facing inward, so that your hands form the diagonal shape of the Kenaz rune.
  • Imagine your hands are holding the sides of a large, invisible ball of energy between them, representing the creative fire of Kenaz.
  • Focus on the energy between your hands, feeling warmth and light emanating from the center.

Step 2: Turn to the Right

  • As you continue to inhale, begin turning your body to the right. Let your right hand move smoothly in a circular motion, starting to fall downward towards your waist, as though you’re guiding the energy ball down with you.
  • At the same time, your left hand begins to rise in the opposite direction, tracing an upward path as you move along the same circular arc.
  • As you turn, both hands are still aligned as if you are moving along the surface of the energy ball. The movement should be smooth and continuous, like fire spiraling in a controlled flow.
  • Visualize the energy of fire and creativity building between your hands, spiraling upward and outward, igniting knowledge and insight within you.

Step 3: Return to Center

  • As you begin to exhale, return to the center, bringing both hands back to their original position—left hand at eye level and right hand at waist level.
  • Imagine the energy returning to the core, condensing into a concentrated point of light between your palms.
  • Feel the warmth and intensity of the creative energy as it returns to your center, amplifying the power of transformation within you.

Step 4: Repeat to the Left

  • Inhale again, and this time, turn your body to the left, mirroring the previous movement.
  • Your left hand will now move downward toward your waist, and your right hand will circle upward, both following the same circular path around the imaginary ball of energy.
  • As you turn to the left, focus on the continuous flow of energy, feeling it spiral and transform between your hands.
  • With the exhale, return to the center again, bringing your hands back to their starting position.

Step 5: Continue the Flow

  • Repeat the sequence, alternating between the right and left sides. The movement should become more fluid with each repetition, allowing you to fully embody the flow of creative energy represented by Kenaz.

This sequence can be repeated continuously, allowing the energy of Kenaz to grow stronger within you. Over time, the movement will help you cultivate a greater connection to your creative power, the clarity of mind, and the transformational energy that Kenaz embodies.
