Method:
Form the shape of a lotus flower with your hands. The thumbs and little fingers of both hands should touch, while the remaining fingers are straight and open. The palms are joined together at the base. This mudra is also known as Lakshmi Mudra and Gayatri Mudra, as Goddess Lakshmi is often depicted seated on a lotus flower. Practice this mudra for 15 to 45 minutes.
Benefits:
- It strengthens the nervous system, which is directly connected to the brain and spine, promoting their health.
- Improves blood circulation, which in turn keeps the entire body healthy.
- Enhances physical and mental beauty.
- Provides relief from fever.
- Helps in curing abdominal tumors.
- Alleviates cysts in the uterus for women.
- Balances the water and fire elements in the body by connecting the thumbs and index fingers.
- This mudra is highly beneficial in cancer treatment.
- Just as a lotus remains pure and beautiful despite growing in mud, similarly, this mudra helps the mind become detached and pure, removing emotional attachments and paving the way for spiritual progress. It brings peace and serenity to the mind.
Caution:
Since this mudra increases the water element by joining the little fingers, it is not recommended for those with a cold nature, such as people prone to colds, asthma, or during cold weather.
