Mudras And Chakra Meditation

 

There are different ways by which you can carry out the technique of chakra meditation and one of these is by using different mudras and sounds for each.

There are many benefits of the mudras. To the untrained meditation practitioner, mudras are often dismissed as inconsequential. In fact, the mudras have the power to harmonize all seven of our auric bodies—etheric (lower physical), emotional (lower emotional), mental (lower mental), astral, etheric (higher physical), celestial (emotional), and causal (mental). These auric bodies correspond with our chakras, from the base to the crown chakra.

The following examples demonstrate how mudras stimulate our auric bodies, serving as a means to act as an interface to integrate our physical, mental and spiritual bodies.

* Bear Grip : With palms facing each other, and right palm facing the body, hook fingers together. Thumbs rest on outside of baby fingers. Concentration.

* Venus Lock : Palms facing up, cup hands together and interlock the fingers. Sexuality. Glandular balance.

* Prayer Mudra : Palms together in prayer position. Balancing energy.

* Buddha Mudra:  For men, rest right hand in left palm, and join the tips of the thumbs. For women, reverse hand position.

Personal Values Benefits Yoga

* Along with a host of benefits, Yoga also helps in developing and attaining personal values. Yoga erases a variety of ills in human beings. These may range from feelings of frustration, persecution and insecurity. Yoga greatly helps in the development of personal values.

* Personal values are those values which an individual develops and lives by all through his life. The main aim of life is to enjoy every moment and Yoga indeed plays a vital role in this regard. Yoga makes life better. Yoga is a continuing process and a life long thing, not just something you do for a while and stop. We all strive for improvement throughout our lives. It is an indication of our resolve to improve and remain fit. Yoga helps us to attain these goals.

* Our body is the vehicle that carries our mind. It is here that Yoga assumes great significance. Personal Values are very important as they define your character and they develop your personality. Your personality is the way others see you. There is a golden rule in this regard- if you don't respect yourself, no-one else will.

* So you have to earn that respect from others, not just by words but actions too. Yoga also helps you in your resolve to be better. Remember, your personal values are the foundation of your life; you have to continuously grow them up and nurture. Grow and develop them for entire life.
