WHAT IS PRANA MUDRA?
Prana mudra is a sacred hand gesture or ‘seal,’ used during yoga and meditation practice as a means of channeling the flow of vital life force energy known as prana.
This mudra can be used as an energetic pick-me-up, as it increases vitality and helps to clear energetic blockages. It also activates the muladhara (root) chakra, the point from which the three main energy channels of the body emerge; the Ida, Pingala and Sushumna nadis.
HOW TO DO PRANA MUDRA
Touch the tip the the thumb with the tips of the ring and little fingers. Extend the other 2 fingers.
Prana mudra is usually practiced on both hands, and should be held for 30 to 45 minutes for maximum benefits. This can be done all at once, or broken up into three shorter practices of 10 to 15 minutes.
