Mudra Healing

Uses of Meru Mudra

Thumb straight like thumbs up, and the other fingers folded touching the palm. The hands rests on the thighs.

This Mudra energises the entire autonomous system and spinal cord – which is massaged well, making the pranic energy flow well. All spinal problems can be handled with this Mudra.

You can combine doing the Mudra with pranayama. Do the breathing with the following count: inhale for four counts, hold for one count, exhale for five counts and hold for one count. Do this 40 to 50 times in the morning. Entire spinal cord will be strengthened.

Sympathetic nervous system controls all the organs. Then the entire system is energised and our stress level gets to zero.

Do the Mudra when you are tired. Direct the prana (visualising) to the spinal cord, while doing the pranayama.

Vallabam Gajaananam Eka Thandham

This mantra along with Meru Mudra is good for the spinal cord. It drives out our insecurity also. If you chant regularly, your back will become solid and strengthened.

Uses of Fire Mudra

Also called as Agni Mudra or Surya Mudra.

Place the ring finger in the base of the thumb, strengthens eyes.

It reduces weight too. Whenever somebody comes to me, the first request would be, whether there is any remedy to reduce their weight. People who are over weight or look obese, their fat level is high and it is not burnt properly. If the fire element is activated, the weight can be brought down. Though, don’t see the weighing machine after doing the Mudra for 1 hr. Do it daily and check it after 20-30 days.

If you want to break away from somebody or not to talk to someone, when you want to assert yourself, and not able to say no to anybody then do this Mudra. You will automatically be able to say no, whenever you want to. You will not behave like a door mat.

This Mudra is good for anaemia – where there is less of iron.

When there is physical exhaustion do this Mudra.

Uses of Shunya Mudra

Place the middle finger at the base of the thumb.

Your movement will be restricted. When there are too much of problems in your life – one problem after another, your problems will be restricted due to this Mudra.

You get ear problems because of heavy usage of mobile. Even if it is not ringing, you think it is ringing. It means your ear is not working properly. May be there will be a heavy sound – some form of humming sound in the ear. Any ear problem can be mitigated with this Mudra.

This Mudra is useful, when you are airborne. Your ear pains, while flying high altitudes. Cotton is used to mitigate this issue. Do this Mudra. Your ear pain will automatically come down.

Uses of Akash Mudra

It creates space inside you. You don’t have space when you are stuck in a traffic jam (what’s inside us is reflected outside us). Put both the Chin and Akash (space) Mudras (let the index and middle fingers touch the tip of the thumb in both the hands). Then we will have space and move.

Akash Mudra activates our own teacher inside us.

If anybody is selfish, you can ask them, “Please put this Mudra”. It will make him broad-minded.

It widens your views and helps to understand your life better.

This also helps to clears the throat.

A Case History

Dear Naran,

Thanks for the wonderful program at “Raj Bhavan”. While teaching on “Akash Mudra”, you mentioned that the teacher in us will be widened and awakened.

Evening after coming from the function, I checked my mails. There was an invitation mail from a Chartered Accountants study circle to address the chartered accountants. Thanks to you Naran.

Tomorrow, I’m doing counselling for CA (Chartered Accountants) students appearing for final exams. I attribute all these success to you!

Goal achievement through Mudras

Naran

An achievement or intense desire can be fulfilled by Mudras.

Whenever there is a goal and you are not able to fulfil means, there is resistance inside you. That resistance has to be released to achieve your goal.

First condition

Accept whatever happens in your life.

Do Acceptance (Digestion) Mudra, affirm, “I accept myself totally” and accept your current life situation. Do it 5 to 10 minutes a day.

Second condition

Release your resistance to achieve the goal.

Do Akash Mudra (middle finger touching thumb, on both the hands) and affirm for example, “I release my resistance to get married”.

Third condition

Move towards your goal.

Do Movement Mudra (thumb touching index and middle fingers, on both the hands), and affirm for example, “I am married happily”, “I have started to earn more” and “I have established harmony in my family”, as though the goal has happened already.

At least spend 5 to 15 minutes in each Mudra, twice a day.

Chin Mudra

This activates air element – one of the five elements, inside you. It is connected with Heart Chakra. Chant the bija mantra ‘Om Yum Namaha’ when you do the Mudra.

How to do Chin Mudra

On both hands, index finger touching the thumb, keep the other three fingers straight. Can keep the eyes closed — not necessary though. Watch the breath. Preferably keep the back straight or move around if you are feeling lethargic.

Advantages of doing Chin Mudra

  • For Lower Back Pain, do Chin Mudra and chant “Wung R Hong”.
  • Chin Mudra brings down the stress level. Therefore, do Chin Mudra until tension comes down to zero.
  • This is also called as Gyan Mudra as it is normally used during meditation by keeping your hands on your lap, with the palm of the hands facing the sky. You can put Chin Mudra while chanting mantras.
  • Chant EEJO while doing Chin Mudra.

After eating food, if Belching happens, then it means the Apanan – a type of prana that is supposed to flow down, is coming up.

It will also bring down your head aches – which could be happening due to too much worry and thinking. You will get better relief by doing this Mudra and chanting the Chinese mantra.

  • How to remove congestion from the pranic body?

If the congestion is more, Chin Mudra is the most effective way to remove the congestion. Chin Mudra will activate the Apana Vaayu which goes down. You have to do inhaling and exhaling with Chin Mudra.

  • This Mudra releases the excess energy from us. For example, your excess anger will come down.
  • Kindles yellow energy inside you. Mars is activated.

 

******* Mudra

Also called as Aakaash (space) Mudra.

Keyword for this Mudra is “expand”.

  • This Mudra activates ******* inside you and brings abundance in your life.
  • It will expand your horizon and get wider views of life and you will become a good judge of the life’s events.
  • The teacher in you will be activated too.
  • Person who is mean minded and selfish will become broad minded and selfless.
  • This generates blue energy and thus activates throat Chakra.

Chant Bija Mantra “Om Hum Namaha” while doing this Mudra.

Movement Mudra

  • To move forward in life.
  • To feel fresh, especially if you are not a morning person, do this Mudra.
  • If you are stuck up in a traffic.
  • After 8th month of pregnancy is over, do this Mudra. Movement of the child will be smooth. Natural movement of foetus will happen and there will be an easy delivery.

Index and middle fingers touches the thumb.

Beat the Traffic – a Case History

Tom is not a morning person. He works for a software company. Timings are flexible. So he can afford to go late to office.

Due to some work pressure, though suddenly he had to go early to office. This he found it very difficult to do, even after setting up an alarm.

So after waking up, and until he got up from bed, he started doing Movement Mudra or otherwise called as a Kubera Mudra. After a couple of weeks, he was able to get up early without an alarm.

Unfortunately, the morning hour’s traffic was too much for him to handle. He started doing this Mudra, whenever he had to wait for the signal or when the traffic stops. Surprisingly he found that he could beat the traffic somehow.

Within a couple of months, he was asked to vacate his house. He found a house, which was closer to his office. He thinks there is a connection between this change and the movement Mudra, as he started reaching his office early without any effort whatsoever.

Fulfilment at Your Finger Tips

The Mudra healing has been combined with ‘Living with Awareness’ techniques here, to achieve any goal or objective. To understand how our mind works against our own goals and objectives, please read the following posts:

Three Steps to Fulfilment

If you have a desire that’s not fulfilled (let us say you want to be an actor), then do the following:

1. Do the Acceptance Mudra and affirm, “I accept myself totally. I release my desire to be an actor”.

If you want to reduce your weight then affirm, “I accept myself totally. I release my desire to reduce my weight”.

Or you affirmation could be, “I I accept myself totally. I release my desire to look attractive”. Thus release all your desires to loose your weight.

Why should I release my desires? Even desires are a form of resistance to achieve our goals and objectives.

To see how to do acceptance Mudra:

http://healbymudra.wordpress.com/2009/08/02/acceptance-mudra/

2. Do ******* Mudra and affirm, “I release my resistance to become an actor”. If you have a desire that is unfulfilled, it means there is a resistance inside you. To reduce your weight, affirm, “I release my resistance to reduce my weight”.

Sometimes we want something consciously, but unconsciously we will be resisting that. This is called psychological reversal.

3. Do Movement Mudra and affirm, “I have become an actor”, “I have started to act in so and so film” as though the desire has happened already.

To see how to do Movement Mudra:

At least spend 5-15 minutes in each Mudra, in the order mentioned. Do them twice a day.

Acceptance Mudra

It helps us to accept our live situations as it is. There are two rules in the world: You don’t get what you desire and you will get what you don’t desire.

Chant the mantra Om Rum Namaha while doing the Acceptance Mudra (right hand – thumb touching index and middle fingers, and left hand touching middle and ring fingers — check the pictures at the end of the article).

When we were seven years old, we fought over a broken pencil and got emotional. After two years, it was not as important as it was when it happened. Every time something happen, we make it either as a big problem or a small problem by categorizing. Every problem is same – no big or small.

Rama taught this Mudra to Lakshmana, who wanted to kill their father Dasaratha. Rama consoled his brother that whatever happens is right and therefore one has to accept what happens.

If any disappointment strikes you, think about Rama and his deportation to forest for fourteen long years, and do this Mudra. Then you will understand the meaning behind the incident that happens in your life.

When we are angry we don’t want to forgive. It’s ok. Therefore, let it be with you for a while, be in the Mudra and then do the forgiving exercise.

Digestion

This Mudra helps your digestion. Before taking food, say in a buffet, do this Mudra. You will choose the right food. This will help to avoid our tendency to eat everything.

Changes Will Happen

Without our effort things happen.

I didn’t put an intention to get the sweet today, yet I got some. See how much god is fulfilling our needs without intention. How they are happening and why they are happening – there are no known answers.

The wisdom does not exist separately. Once you remove ignorance, wisdom shines through. Because of thought patterns and life reaction patterns, it’s shrouded. When the patterns and unwanted energies are cleared, wisdom becomes visible.

Awareness removes ignorance. Once the cleansing is over, I will come to know I am a man of wisdom. It dispels the darkness which is like the clouds that covers the sun.

Mentally accept whatever happens. Without acceptance our life is spoiled. If we accept ourselves totally, then things happen. We try to change without acceptance. Don’t change anything. Changes will happen automatically happen then.
