Mudras are hand gestures and symbols that have several benefits. They were developed by ancient sages after many lifetimes of meditative analysis. They found that by performing mudras religiously and religiously (as a routine, not part of a religion), every day, there were noticeable improvements in many areas of our health, including stress, anxiety, and depression. These mudras appear to be motionless, but they pulsate with life shakti, or energy, or “prana” as it is commonly called, to energize people in specific areas. So, see below the daily mudra routine for emotional balance…

Chakra Healing Routine:
It is important to diligently follow a set of mudras every day. This not only helps us to cope with stress and anxiety but also gives us mental strength to cope with any kind of duress. At times when stress tries to get the better of us when we are going through difficult moments in life, we need to, first of all, sit quietly in some place, and then when we start deep breathing – Ujjayi Pranayama, which is the best breathing practice for all kinds of psychosomatic problems, we need to keep our hands and fingers in the mudras of our choice.
Vayu Mudra:
This is one of the time-tested mudras that can instantly calm you down in a very difficult situation. The instructions are as follows: the moment you feel a wave of panic attack coming over you, sit down, relax, then breathe calmly; breathe Ujjayi pranayama, and then slowly take this Apana Vayu Mudra in your hands and place your hands on your thighs. Retain the mudra and continue with Ujjayi breathing for at least 20 minutes. Bend your ring and middle fingers, then try to touch the tips of these two fingers to the tip of your thumb.
Hold this position for some time. By practicing this mudra, one can instantly calm the body, and regulate the heartbeat, including anxiety attacks, for immediate relief. Apana Vayu Mudra brings immediate calm to the one who practices it; it is like a wave of cool air passing over us. Have you ever wondered what happens to someone who experiences panic attacks? It is not only the heavy and difficult breathing; it is also the solar plexus that experiences severe pain in the pit of the stomach due to the panic factor or fear aspect.
The practice of this mudra helps to stabilize the body. It has a calming effect. This Apana Vayu in our body helps to regulate the flow of prana outward – the “breath” from the body, and is also responsible for the stages of removing waste and toxins from the body. By practicing Apana Vayu Mudra, we are fully aware of anxiety and heart pain, we allow our body to relax and pave the way for strengthening the cardiovascular system.
Conclusion:
If traditional forms of treatment for stress, anxiety, and depression have not been very successful, consider giving mudras a try. Twenty minutes of this daily practice is enough if it is regular and consistent. It’s worth the effort when you think about the benefits of living free of these ailments.
