Method:
- Form the Prithvi Mudra with your right hand by touching the tip of your thumb to the tip of your ring finger (representing the Earth element).
- Form the Akash Mudra with your left hand by touching the tip of your thumb to the tip of your middle finger (representing the Space element).
- Hold this position for 15 minutes and practice it 3-4 times a day.
Benefits:
- “Sandhi” means “joint.” This mudra provides relief from pain in any joints of the body. Whether it’s knee pain, wrist pain, ankle pain, or shoulder pain, practicing this mudra can help alleviate the discomfort.
- It is particularly beneficial for those who spend long hours in a fixed position, such as sitting in a chair or standing all day. Practicing this mudra daily can help reduce pain in the knees, elbows, and shoulders.
Special Notes:
- To maintain healthy joints, it is recommended to practice subtle yogic exercises for the hands and feet, as well as Tadasana and Padottanasana while standing or lying down. Just 10 minutes of daily practice of these exercises can significantly improve joint health.
- In case of knee pain, massage the area around the knees with mustard oil, but avoid massaging directly on top of the knees.
