I am a Masterpiece. My life is a work of Art. A work in progress, a fabulous mistake, full of trips and falls, but I rise up again. Unique and holy, vast yet limited. By my own boarders that I paint. I have the power to reshape. 

Need

Needs have been unrecognized or unfulfilled.  The path to healing and fulfillment lies in answering these fundamental needs.  A course of action must be chosen.  Desire and need can be a source of strength.

[ inverted meaning ]

Beware temptation.  Not all needs must be fulfilled.  Do not take the path of least resistance.

The Meaning of the Rune “Nauthiz”

(Applies to the upright position)

Literal Meanings: Need, necessity, trouble, constraint

Description:

A vast canyon or icy crevasse exists between one’s current position and the position or goal that is desired. One ‘needs’ to cross this great distance, but how? Passage across this chasm must be secured or a shortage may become worse. A ‘need’ or ‘shortfall’ is indicated here in all its forms: Nauthiz is the worker who has done a particular trade for years and finds themselves laid off, their trade obsolete. Nauthiz is the harvest which falls short, unable to provide. Nauthiz is a yearning of the soul which is currently unfulfilled. Nauthiz is a sudden demand which overwhelms one’s stores and savings.

Nauthiz indicates a time to retrain, relearn and plan effectively in order to get what is wanted from a particular situation.

Nauthiz is a rune of ‘wanting’, and it is generally a negative rune since it describes a ‘lack’ of something. If the reader believes the need referenced by Nauthiz is a constant need, then one’s needs should be reevaluated. If the need referenced by this rune is temporary in nature, it may be necessary to take steps to fill it. In general, the rune Nauthiz represents a gap between that which one requires and the capacity that one has to fulfill that requirement.

How to Interpret

Something is desired or lacking by the querent. Without fulfilling this need, forward motion will be difficult and unpleasant.

Material need or sometimes impoverishment, whether real or imagined may also be described here. The exact meaning of such impoverishment may be different for different people; for one person, poverty may mean one car in the family instead of two. For another, it may mean no food for a week. Whatever the definition, the result is the same: a degradation of life-quality through a shortage of something. Rectifying this situation will requires either diligence and intelligence in order to improve the situation. A managing of one’s desires may also be called for.

An alternate meaning of Nauthiz is a purely spiritual yearning for some greater level of enlightenment: a need created by spiritual impoverishment or a withering of the soul. In some cases Nauthiz represents a semi-permanent state of spiritual disatisfaction, or one who is eternally disatisfied despite material and emotional plenty.

It should be noted that while many see Nauthiz as a negative rune, depicting a shortage or a lack of something — others see Nauthiz as a positive challenge — a test that must be overcome to achieve the object of one’s desire.

Inverted Meaning::

There are those who believe that Nauthiz cannot be reversed — and others who say that it can. With this particular rune, this decision must be made by the reader based upon the nature of the reading. A possibleInverted Meaning: is as follows: The shortage is at it’s worst and the only way from here is up — bear this in mind during the coming struggles. Strong character is forged through difficult situations like this — and fortunes made. Some of the most successful and enduring people achieved greatness because they underwent extreme hardships at some point in their lives.

11 TIPS TO HEAL YOUR ADRENAL GLANDS:

1. Ensure you have at least 1.5 teaspoons of good ocean sea salt daily which is very important for the adrenal glands. Ocean sea salt provides proper amounts of sodium and chloride, which are two of the seven macro minerals required in higher amounts by the body.
2. Dry Skin Brushing daily to detoxify your adrenals. It is very effective in stimulating and decongesting the lymphatic system, and helps the liver and adrenal glands function better.
3. Cup your hand and tap hard on the skin overlapping the adrenal glands for 2 minutes daily. Your adrenal glands are located just above the kidneys on either side of your body near your waist.
4. Stand in the shower with your back facing the spray, allowing it to beat down on your adrenals (just above your kidneys). Do this once a day for 3 minutes in the hottest water you can stand, followed by 30 seconds of the coldest water.
5. Do reflexology: The reflex points are located 2 inches above and 1 inch to the right side of the belly button, and also 1 inch to the left side of the belly button. Rub these two points vigorously for 1 minute 3 times a week. These spots will probably be tender if the adrenals are malfunctioning.
6. Thump your thymus gland to stimulate it. The thymus gland is an important part of Lymphatic System, which helps the body detoxify itself. It is located underneath the top of the breast bone. To thump it, use your knuckles and thump gently but firmly about 10 times in a row. Do this a few times a day to wake up your thymus gland.
7. Stay off medications containing cortisone and epinephrine. If you are taking them you need to wean yourself off of them gradually. They are extremely toxic/poisonous.
8. Get out in the fresh air and let fresh air circulate in your home. Air charged with “good” ions, called “negative ions”, is healing to the adrenals. This kind of air is abundant in the forest and mountains, and at the seashore. Showers also provide these good ions.
9. Get plenty of sleep 8-9 hours a night.
10 Decrease stresses in your life as much as possible. During stressful times lie down and relax. Place your hands on your forehead over your eyebrows, and stay like that for 10 minutes.

“None of us are perfect. We all do things we shouldn’t and our karma is probably not the best. We all have at least a little chaos coming to us now and then. 

Within us are 2 beings ~ we have the imperfect self who reacts, has doubts and does negative things. Unfortunately, this is how most of us act most of the time. But there is also a second perfected being we can tap into; one who is aware and acts in accordance with the spiritual laws of the universe, so that it may shower upon us maximum fulfillment and success. 

An amazing secret about this second being is that, because it is our perfected self, it has never done any of the negative things we’ve done in this life or lifetimes past. The perfected us has never hurt anyone, never missed an opportunity and never made a poor decision.

The more we decide in our day to day choices to connect with our higher selves, the more we can correct our karma and protect ourselves from chaos. 

Just knowing this can inspire us to tap into our perfected selves more and more every day.”
