Hagalaz rune describes a wild action of conceivement of the order in the depth of the Earth. Once it's finished and the disturbing energy of the Fire is discharged from the Air in the form of lightning, the Air calms down. We see that in its initial raw form, it was a mixture of the Water essence and a heavier smoky part that originates from the interaction of Water and hot Earth.

Now it's time for Naudiz rune:

Previously, in the Algiz rune, we saw how initial raw and dark lead clouds are transformed into a clear sky. The transformation was happening in the center, but we had no idea why.

Now, in the Naudiz rune, you see what is happening there from the back side. In a calmer Air that is not swirling and mixing anymore, the lighter component, the pure Water essence of transparency moves upward as we saw in Algiz.
But the heavier, earthy component of the Air moves down and slips deeper into the Earth between rocks to reach and feed growing crystals.

This slow ascetic process of nurturing your crystal takes time and perseverance.

Naudiz rune name means need, distress, constraint, and oppression.

It looks like the "Isa" rune of Ice crossed by a diagonal bar descending from Air to Earth level.

Something is translating from the Air through the middle point of Emptiness down to the Earth.

It's similar to the Hagalaz rune, but instead of states before and after, the vertical axis of Simultaneity emphasizes the center point of transcendence through the horizon border between Air and Earth. The original pair of opposites, Water and Fire, interact with each other directly and tangibly. But the interaction between Air and Earth is much more subtle and elusive. Both Air and Earth are not so reactive and intensive, they don't rush toward each other and do not oppose. Instead, they coexist rather peacefully and inertly.

Isa is the rune of Order; Ice is the crystal itself.
But now we have a new type of crystal, made of Earth, not of Water.
It's strong and hard and not melting from Fire's heat.
This crystal is transparent,
so it now conducts Light, the spirit of the Fire.

Let's practice the Naudiz rune.

• We will use a gesture of two open palms turned upward and pointing to the top-left.
• Place the left palm at a higher position near your heart
• place the right palm at a lower position approximately at the level of your liver.
• Both palms resemble the descending diagonal of the Naudiz rune while our spine will play the role of its vertical.

You can also use breathing. The entire rune is a long breath out with a small pause in the middle.

• With your breast full of air start slowly and calmly breathing out, focusing your attention on the breast level of the Air and your left-top palm.
• It may feel like soft and tender streams of air blowing down and you support one of these streams sliding in your left palm down to your solar plexus.
• In the middle pause, when you tracked your stream of Air down to the solar plexus - reactivate the state of resonance across all five worlds along your vertical axis and keep sliding down into the belly level of the Earth while supporting this thread of Air by your right palm.

This rune is very practical when you need to constrain yourself, remain sober, fight an addiction, or hold impulsive reactions.

As part of your Creation use this rune to nurture the embryo of your crystal until it will grow big enough so its bottom will touch the Fire and its tip break through the surface of the horizon so it will start conducting the spirit of the Fire - the Light.

It's probably a small seed of crystal at the beginning, and it keeps growing and refining as much as you keep growing and refining it. But even with a small seed, you are already starting to break through the darkness…
