Tiwaz represents the warrior spirit, honor, justice, and the pursuit of purpose. It symbolizes the arrow pointing upward, a sign of unwavering focus and courage in the face of challenges. This movement sequence draws upon the strength and determination of the Tiwaz rune, helping you channel focus, strength, and resilience while remaining centered and grounded.
Starting Position
- Stand in a neutral position, with your feet slightly apart, knees slightly bent, and arms relaxed at your sides.
- Take a few deep breaths, centering yourself, and feel your connection to the ground beneath you. Visualize the determined energy of the Tiwaz rune—focused, upward-moving, and full of purpose.
Step 1: Inhale and Raise Your Arms into the Tiwaz Shape
- As you inhale deeply, slowly raise your arms alongside your body, keeping them straight but relaxed.
- As your arms rise, stop them at a 45-degree angle relative to your torso. This creates the shape of the Tiwaz rune with your body—the arms represent the diagonal lines, and your torso serves as the strong vertical.
- As your arms reach the 45-degree angle, expand your chest as fully as possible. Allow your body to open up and feel the strength and confidence that come from standing in this powerful stance. Imagine the energy of honor and justice rising through your body, radiating outward through your arms.
Step 2: Exhale and Return to Starting Position
- As you exhale, begin to lower your arms slowly back to the starting position.
- Focus on maintaining a controlled, steady movement as your arms descend, keeping the energy grounded as you return to a neutral stance.
- As your arms return to your sides, feel the balance and calm settle within you, much like a warrior after a battle, returning to a state of focused readiness.
Step 3: Repeat the Movement
- Repeat the sequence as many times as desired, inhaling as you raise your arms and exhaling as you lower them. Each time you lift your arms into the shape of Tiwaz, visualize yourself embodying strength, purpose, and focus, aligned with the higher principles of honor and justice.
By practicing this sequence, you can connect with the warrior energy of Tiwaz, helping to cultivate strength, courage, and honor in your life. The movement reinforces your ability to stay focused on your goals while remaining balanced and grounded, embodying the essence of a warrior who fights for justice with clarity and purpose. Let this practice serve as a reminder that strength and honor come from within, guiding you on your path.
