The Book of Runes

Each morning and evening I pick a Rune from the Book of Runes.  The Runes as described here are healing, merciful Runes, an Oracle system, that will do no harm.  They speak of the language of possibilities and they provide a mirror for the magic of knowing ourselves, a means of communication with the knowledge of our subconscious mind.  Consulting an Oracle is not having your fortune told.  It does not give you instructions on what to do nor does it predict future events.  An Oracle points your attention towards those hidden fears and motivations that will shape your future by their unfelt presence within each present moment.  Once seen and recognized there elements become absorbed into the realm of personal choice.  Oracles do not absolve you of the responsibility for selecting your future, but rather direct your attention towards those inner choices that may be most important elements in determining your future. 

That being said, today I chose the Rune of Wholeness.  The prayer that was shared, known as the Gayatri, which embodies the spirit of the Rune of Wholeness addresses the Sun (Creator/Creation).  I found it most profound and wanted to share with you, so here it is:

You who are the source of all power, whose rays illuminate the world, illuminate also my heart, so that it too can do your work.  While reciting this it is recommended that you visualize the sun's rays streaming forth into the world, entering your heart, then streaming out from your heart's center and back into the world.  

Imagine of we all did this daily?  Spent time focused on Love.  The energy that would stream from us and the vibrations that would be created that would be felt by all!  How easy would it be for us to change hate to love, war to peace, and unhappiness to joy?  I am filled with hope every time I do this, and my dream for you is that you have the same experience.  Till next time, practice loving kindness with yourself and all those around you!  Janet
