GYAN MUDRA


✨🔥🌬️𝔾𝕪𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕦𝕕𝕣𝕒🌬️🔥✨


Mudras are symbolic hand gestures used to direct the flow of energy in the body & awaken specific states of consciousness. Gyan means ‘Knowledge’

Gyan Mudra brings in knowledge, expands our field of possibilities & releases us from limitations. It is related to expansion, wisdom & higher consciousness.

🤍

It's calming & can bring openness

sharpens the brain, empowers the mind, nervous system, endocrine system & pituitary gland

🪬

In yogic philosophy, the hand is considered to be a microcosm of the human body & also represents the intrinsic link between the cosmos & human experience. Each finger represents 1 of the 5 elements & each finger links to a planet.

👌🏾

In Gyan Mudra, the thumb & index finger touch, creating a gentle connection between the two, the other three fingers extended & relaxed. The fire (thumb) & air (index) elements unite, harmonizing & balancing the body's energies.

🔥

Thumb/fire element, connects us to our higher self, & is linked to the planet Mars (will power, determination & self-reliance)

🌬️

Index finger/air element carries the energy of subconscious & the ego & is linked to Jupiter (the teacher). Gyan Mudra is the 'Mudra of Wisdom or Knowledge'

Gyan Mudra can balance + redirect the body's energy, promoting relaxation, reducing stress & anxiety- promoting a state of inner peace & tranquility. It creates a circuit to channel & activate wisdom, intuition & spiritual insights during meditation


LETS TRY IT!

*Close the eyes, or lower your gaze

(whichever feels comfortable)


*Begin focusing on the breath, or a mantra
