Method:
Join the index fingers (air element) of both hands together and keep them straight. Interlock the remaining three fingers and thumbs of both hands so that the fingertips touch the back of the opposite hand. When sitting, point the index fingers downward, and when lying down, point them towards the feet. Relax the hands in this position. Focus on your breath, particularly on the exhalation process. Forcefully exhale three times. Then, place your hands on your thighs with the palms facing upward.
Benefits:
This mudra is particularly important for expelling impurities from the body. It helps prevent constipation by ensuring the large intestine functions properly. It promotes good sweating and aids the lungs in efficiently expelling carbon dioxide. This mudra eliminates all kinds of negative energy, anger, irrational thoughts, and mental stress, replacing them with positive thinking and energy. It is also beneficial for curing urinary disorders and helps remove toxins from all five elements of the body. Practicing this mudra alongside Ujjayi Pranayama provides significant benefits.
Precautions:
Do not practice this mudra for an extended period. Limit it to only 7 to 8 breaths, as prolonged practice can also block positive energy.
