The Power of Life : Prana Mudra
The Power of Life : Prana Mudra
There is an age-old science of hand gestures using fingers and thumb
which are supposed to direct the delicate energies in the body. It’s important
to know, the way your systems behaves can be
altered just by changing the stance or position of your palm. This is an art by
itself which essentially involves the calculus and wiring within us. By practising
a certain mudra, the energies tend to travel in a particular way. Specially in
yoga, there are classifications and structures where you can regulate your
breathing in a certain way, with certain counts and proportions. This may lead
you to pinpoint your energies acting as a ‘control panel’ to
everything. . The choice is yours to either keep this human system as an infant
human being or you can enlarge this into vast possibilities.
The beauty
of Indian culture is that for
everything, things are identified like particular asana’s, mudras with particular
kind of breathing so that, we human beings can bring out the best within ourselves.
Amongst
all the energies compulsory to retain the balance of nature, Prana Mudra hold a
much admirable importance and is defined as The spirit of life in its own self.
The
mechanism of Prana mudra excites the root chakra, that generates vibration and
heat, awakens all the organs and empower the body. This mudra acts as a channel
connecting heart and soul redirecting wherever it is most wanted.
The Prana mudra is can be performed by
bringing the tips of little and ring finger in contact with the tip of the
thumb and rest two fingers being straight. It is best practiced with inhale and
exhale for same duration You can also add the mantra sound ‘ so-hum’
while chanting ‘so’ on inhale and ‘humm’ on exhale. Although in beginning you
might discover it hard to chant and inhale-exhale simultaneously, but with
practice you can surely perfect it. After
a while chanting the mantra for 40-50 times, try to focus on your mind and you
may sense a sudden vibration in your body, a likely situation where your body
feels like floating. That’s the power of life or Prana Mudra.
