Perthro represents mystery, fate, and the hidden forces that guide our lives, often symbolized as the cup or well from which secrets emerge. This movement sequence embodies the energy of revelation and potential, mirroring the shape of the Perthro rune. As you flow through the sequence, focus on the concepts of discovery, letting go of control, and allowing the natural flow of fate to unfold.

Starting Position

  • Stand in a neutral position, with your feet slightly apart, knees slightly bent, and arms relaxed at your sides.
  • Breathe deeply, focusing on centering yourself. Visualize the hidden potential within, like a mystery waiting to be revealed, and prepare to embody the energy of Perthro.

Step 1: Squat and Form the Shape of Perthro

  • As you inhale deeply, squat down, keeping your back straight and your knees bending softly. Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the ground or as far as is comfortable for your body.
  • At the same time, raise your arms, bending your elbows so that your palms come up in front of your face, with the elbows bent at about a 90-degree angle. The bent arms and squatting legs now form the shape of the Perthro rune, symbolizing the cup or well.
  • As you hold this position, visualize the hidden mysteries of life gathering in the space between your hands and body, like a vessel holding potential that is yet to be revealed.

Step 2: Exhale and Rise Back to Starting Position

  • As you exhale**, lower your arms back** down along the sides of your body, keeping them relaxed as they return to the neutral position.
  • At the same time, rise back up from the squat, returning to the upright standing position.
  • As you stand tall once again, feel the release of tension and imagine that you are letting go of any need to control the outcome of events. Allow the natural flow of fate to guide you.

Step 3: Repeat the Movement

  • Continue to repeat the movement, inhaling as you squat down and raise your arms, forming the Perthro shape, and exhaling as you rise and lower your arms back to the starting position.
  • Each time you return to the standing position, focus on the unfolding of potential—the mysteries and hidden aspects of life becoming clear as you let go of resistance.

By practicing this sequence, you can deepen your connection to the mysterious and unseen forces of life, learning to embrace the unknown and trust in the unfolding of fate. The movement of Perthro teaches you to hold space for potential and revelation while maintaining balance and calm. Through this practice, you will develop a sense of peace with life’s mysteries, allowing them to unfold naturally and with purpose.
