How To Do Mudras

Mudras can be practiced seated (or along with your mediation), standing, walking or lying down.

 

Add a few drops of the chosen essential oil to the palms of your hands, rub between your hands and deeply inhale. Then begin the mudra. Essential oils used along with mudras create powerful energy shifts.

 

In any position, it is important that the spine is long and naturally aligned. Relax the shoulders and the chest soft to allow the diaphragm and rib cage to move freely as you breathe. Use smooth and deep breaths that enable the flow of prana/chi/energy.

 

Mudras can be held anywhere from 5 breaths to a few minutes.

 

Allow awareness to deepen, notice the physical body sensations, energetic sensations, the quality of thoughts and emotions and spiritual connections.
