Rune Isa – meaning and interpretation

Ice.
This rune speaks of some kind of obstacle, of a cooling of relations with someone. It can mean a decrease in enthusiasm, a manifestation of passivity. In love, there is no passion.
Hint:
Freeze your plans for now, wait until the situation improves in order to act again.
Formation. Ice. Recovery. Сool.
The rune is a formative force that slows down movement and condenses matter. Its name "Isa" means "ice" and implies the qualities of contraction, density and immobility. Isa is the energy that binds together and protects from decay. It retards development, just as ice freezes flowing water. It can also be compared to a stopped film. It crystallizes the spiritual into the material so that it can be preserved, as ice in a refrigerator preserves the quality of the food put there. Isa is a stabilizing factor that keeps everything that is exposed to it unchanged.
Isa is associated with immobility. Despite its passivity, immobility is not a state in which nothing happens. This is the suspension of movement necessary for further development. The crust of ice on a winter lake only covers what is happening at deep levels invisible to us. The power of the Rune is expressed in the effect of concentration. Isa is the power that preserves what needs to be preserved. It is expressed in a slowdown of energy processes, causes compaction and prevents dissolution.
Isa supports the spirit floating on the stormy waters of earthly life, giving it the opportunity to develop. But the process of development can be stopped if the Ego revels in its complacency and breaks like brittle ice.
Isa is the power of self-restraint, helping to figure out what qualities we should keep in the depths of our being. Just as ice serves as a preserving agent, so Isa keeps things as they are and "conserves" what has been accumulated.
Although Isa can focus the powers of the mind and strengthen the heart, this rune must be handled with care, as it is easy to lose balance on any icy surface.
POTENTIAL: Sustaining and preserving strength, stability and immobility, inertia, concentration of purposeful intention.
KEY QUALITIES: Compression, compaction, preservation of the past, inner strength, self-restraint.
PRACTICAL USE: When the pace of modern life gets stressful, Isa can slow things down and allow you to focus on your true values. This rune also helps to make your dreams come true in everyday, "dense" reality.
CHALLENGE: Winter doesn't last forever, and neither does any difficult situation you may find yourself in. Have the courage to move forward. To know, you need to act.
The rune can help you:
- calm the mind for meditation;
- focus attention;
- neutralize unprovoked attack or hostile intent;
- strengthen your Will;
- overcome anxiety.
The rune helps to stop an unfavorable process, illness, cool passions, "freeze" the situation in order to gain time. The rune is dedicated to the great Ymir, born from ice and symbolizing the beginning or renewal after a long period of stagnation.
