Pran Mudra

Pran Mudra. This mudra activates the root chakra which houses your vital life force and energy. You can compare it to the fire that warms a house.

Pran Mudra can increase vitality, reduce fatigue and nervousness, improve your vision, and reduce symptoms of eye disease. Clear eyes are a sign of a positive mental outlook, a clear mind, and structured thoughts and ideas. Pran Mudra will help brighten your eyes and your outlook.

As you do Pran Mudra, picture yourself as a tree, or picture a tree in front of you. As you inhale, notice energy flowing from the roots the of the tree and imagine them getting thicker and stronger. When you exhale, picture this energy and strength from the roots move into the trunk, then the crown of the tree, over its branches, and into the sky toward the sun.

The larger the roots, the larger the crown of the tree grows as well.

Affirmation: I have a healthy appetite for the small and large adventures of life. I digest the challenges with great pleasure and joy.

Mudras, as described by author and expert Gertrud Hirschi, are gestures, mystic finger positions that “ultimately creates a special connection to cosmic consciousness. Mudras also relate directly to Chinese medicine five element theory and the powerful microcosm of the body that mirrors the universal macrocosm.
