LAGUZ: Surrender, Trust

Keywords:

water, lake, sea, deep subconscious work flowing, watery flow, a fertility, healing through renewal, imagination and psychic matters, the under water world, as well as acquisition and travel

Meaning:

For the extreme sports people, this is like kayaking in Open Ocean during rough seas. Any moment life can throw you over and suck you down to the very depths of the abyss. There is nothing to do now except surrender your fear, let go. ENJOY the ride. Great changes are happening deep within your psyche and this is the trust part of life. We do not learn trust by winning the lottery; we learn trust by loosing it. Then trusting that life and our soul growth is progressive, and nothing can be with held from us. Nothing can keep us from our good, and every loss creates a greater good.

What’s keeping you from trusting that your deep psyche is working for you? There’s no better time to release old negative beliefs and thoughts than right now. Drawing this rune is letting you know that the old and worn out beliefs are being released. So relax and allow yourself to release the old, trusting that the new is better and then it will be. So relax, release and trust!

Merkstaff:

A period of confusion and exhaustion may be at hand if Laguz is reversed. If you feel that your going against the flow and nothing is working, you may be right. This is a time to honor yourself and trust this aspect of self healing. You may be making wrong decisions and exercising poor judgment, lacking in creativity and feeling like you are in a rut. Quick don’t just do something, STAND THERE! Now breath. Before you take any further actions, schedule some alone breathing time

Gods & Goddess’s it relates too: Njord

Njord is the wealthy god of the sea.

plant / mineral: Aquamarine, Malachite / Garlic, Leek, Willow

Meditation:

Take a relaxing breath and allow yourself to become completely relaxed and let go of any chatter that might be cycling through your mind. Imagine the wind and sea. Is it rough and turbulent or calm and serene. Just breath into this vision until there is a calm sea and a light refreshing breeze. Now see that you are gently floating in a warm loving sea.

Njord is the god of wind and sea, ask him for support in helping you releasing all that no longer works for you. Trusting that Njord will grant your wish wash away the debris and wash you up on a shore that is more fruitful and fulfilling than the one you left.
