Hakini Mudra for Brain-Body Balance, Problem-Solving & Focus

September 7, 2018 by Julie Lusk

The Hakini Mudra for brain-body balance, problem-solving and focus is one of my favorite hand mudras.  It’s very effective and easy to do.

Mudras are yoga positions, gestures, and seals for your hands and fingers that facilitate health, healing, psychological balance and spiritual transformation.  Some mudras use the whole body and breath.  They are effective, easy to learn, practical and powerful, and anyone can do them. Learn more about mudras here.

Hakini Mudra Benefits:

  • Directs the breath, awareness, and energy to the entire body to balance the bodymind physically and energetically
  • Complete and full breathing is facilitated effortlessly
  • Reduces stress
  • The first six energy centers (chakras) are stimulated and harmonized
  • Both hemispheres of the brain are integrated and invigorated
  • Boosts memory, concentration, and assists problem solving

How to do Hakini Mudra:

  • Gently touch the fingertips and thumb of one hand to the corresponding fingertips and thumb on the other  
  • Hold your palms apart as if you were holding a ball
  • Place your hands in front of your solar plexus (mid-section)
  • If your fingernails are too long to touch the fingertips together, interlace all the fingers, separate your palms, and touch the tips of the thumbs together

Awaken and Embody the Feminine Chakras

August 27, 2012 by Julie Lusk

Chakra Jewels ♥♥♥

Are there chakras (energy centers) that are feminine in nature while others are masculine?  “Yes,” accordChakra jeweling to Christine Page, MD.  She says that gaining an understanding of the chakras’ spiritual qualities and how they influence our daily lives, makes a real difference to our personal health.  With this knowledge to awaken & embody the feminine chakras, we can begin to appreciate how we relate to the world as well our soul’s potential, allowing us to live life with optimal meaning and purpose.  In addition, she says we no longer need to be limited by the idea that there are just seven chakras, primarily associated with the body, but need to return to the ancient teaching to include two other chakras, the earth-child beneath our feet and the star-child chakras above our heads. To augment this understanding, there are sound yoga practices that enable us to embody this awareness quickly and deeply.

You can be one of the first to benefit from this new understanding and put it into practice.  Here’s how:
