Sowilo, the rune of the sun, represents power, success, and victory. It embodies the energy of light, illumination, and vitality, guiding us toward achieving our highest potential. This dynamic sequence mirrors the shape of the Sowilo rune, helping to channel the solar energy of strength, confidence, and clarity. The movement flows from a grounded, forward-leaning position to an upright, victorious stance, reflecting the journey of growth and triumph.

Starting Position

  • Stand in a neutral position, with your feet slightly apart, knees slightly bent, and arms relaxed at your sides.
  • Take a moment to breathe deeply, focusing on grounding your energy and connecting with the inner power of the sun. Visualize the bright energy of the sun within you, ready to be expressed through movement.

Step 1: Lean Forward and Squat

  • As you inhale deeply, lean your torso forward slightly while beginning to lower yourself into a squat position.
  • Keep your back straight but allow a gentle forward bend to match the natural slope of the Sowilo rune. Your butt lowers into the squat, and your body takes on the zigzag shape of Sowilo, representing the sun’s radiant energy.
  • Feel the gathering of inner strength and power as you lower yourself into this position. This is a moment of drawing in energy, like the sun building up before it shines brightly.

Step 2: Raise Arms Overhead with Exhale

  • As you exhale, raise your arms overhead in a fluid, powerful motion, extending them diagonally above your head. Your hands face each other at a slight angle, following the line of your torso.
  • In this position, your body now fully resembles the shape of the Sowilo rune, symbolizing the forward surge of solar energy. Visualize the sun’s energy radiating through you, filling you with light, vitality, and success.

Step 3: Open Palms and Rise to Starting Position

  • Once your arms are extended overhead, turn your palms outward, away from each other, as if radiating energy outward like the sun’s rays.
  • As you continue to exhale, slowly lower your arms to your sides, bringing them down in a wide arc until they return to your waist. At the same time, begin to rise from the squat, standing tall as you return to the starting position.
  • Feel the release of energy as you stand, symbolizing the triumphant completion of a cycle, much like the sun reaching its zenith in the sky.

Step 4: Repeat the Movement

  • Repeat the sequence, alternating between leaning forward into the squat and rising into the standing position, while raising and lowering your arms in a fluid motion.
  • Each time you perform the sequence, focus on radiating solar energy from within, channeling confidence, strength, and clarity into each movement.

By practicing this sequence, you can connect with the radiant energy of Sowilo, enhancing your confidence, strength, and clarity. The movement helps you channel your inner solar power, allowing you to face challenges with confidence and ultimately achieve success and personal victory. Let the flow of this sequence remind you that, like the sun, you have the power to shine brightly and radiate positivity in your life.
