Laguz Meditation Practices

Water Flow Meditation (20 minutes)

Preparation:

• Sit near water if possible (ocean, lake, stream, or bowl of water)
• Have Laguz visible or drawn before you
• Optional: Hold aquamarine or moonstone
• Light blue candles

Practice:

1. Settling (3 min): Breathe deeply. Listen to water sounds. You are here, ready to flow.
2. Becoming Water (5 min): Visualize yourself as water. You have no fixed shape. You flow around obstacles. You adapt to any container. You are fluid, flexible, flowing.

Working with Laguz's Shadow

When Laguz Energy Becomes Imbalanced

Laguz's shadow manifests as:

• Emotional overwhelm—drowning in feelings
• Passivity—too much surrender, no action
• Delusion—confusing intuition with wishful thinking
• Escapism—using flow as excuse to avoid responsibility
• Stagnation—water that doesn't flow becomes stagnant

Balancing Practice: Remember that water flows but also has power. Balance surrender with action. Balance intuition with reason. Flow, but don't drown.

When Intuition Seems Wrong

If your intuition led you astray:

• Was it true intuition or fear/desire?
• Intuition is quiet, calm, knowing—not loud, anxious, wanting
• Practice distinguishing true intuition from mental chatter
• Keep tracking—over time, you'll know the difference
• Work with Laguz + Mannaz (intuition + consciousness)

• Remember: emotions are meant to flow, not be held forever

"I can't surrender control"

• Practice Water Flow Meditation daily
