- Performing the Shakti Mudra helps ward off cold, generates warmth and energy in the body. This is the experience of Osho Siddharth Ji.
Extraordinary Uses of Shakti Mudra:
- While seated or lying down, place the Shakti Mudra lightly on your abdomen, below the navel, with the fingers facing each other (not downward). Keep about a two-inch gap between the fists.
This helps with respiratory issues like asthma, cold, and flu. It regulates the nervous system, improves sleep, energizes the body, and strengthens the immune system.
- Sit and place the Shakti Mudra on your knees with the fingers facing upward. This impacts the sensory organs like the nose, ears, eyes, mouth, and facial disorders, enhancing facial radiance. It reduces stress, eliminates negativity, improves sleep, and quickly induces meditation. Afterward, practice Gyan Mudra.
- Place the fists on your knees, facing each other. This helps with heart diseases, shoulder pain, and issues related to the hands, arms, and neck.
Afterward, practice Prana Mudra and Mrityu Sanjeevani Mudra.
- Place the Shakti Mudra upside down on your knees, with the fingers pointing toward the knees.
This quickly alleviates digestive issues, diabetes, liver and other abdominal organ inflammations, reproductive organ weakness, hormonal imbalances, back pain, slipped discs, kidney diseases, and leg ailments.
Perform the above four methods for at least 30 minutes, two to three times a day for quicker benefits. Deep and long breathing exercises during the mudra yield miraculous results.
Sitting in Vajrasana increases the benefits even more.
Duration: 15 minutes, three times a day.
