Yoga Mudras are gestures for the hands and body that aid healing for the body, mind, emotions and spirit. Using hand positions in this manner can be found in Yoga, Buddhist, Chinese, and other traditions.
Bhramara Mudra is one to practice to relieve allergies and related conditions. The immune system can benefit.
- Place your index finger at the base of your thumb.
- Touch the tip of your thumb beside the fingernail of the middle finger
- Extend your ring and little fingers
- Focus your attention and breathe as deeply, slowly and smoothly as possible
- Hold for several minutes and practice often
Even though I had my doubts, this yoga mudra has helped me a lot. I use it during allergy attacks and as a preventative during allergy season. For example, I will hold this yoga mudra with one or both of my hands while waiting, walking or sitting.
I’ve shared this with others and have been told that it stopped a sneezing fit, solved an allergy attack when out walking, and cleared up a runny nose from allergies. Really!
Don’t forget to use common sense too. Help yourself by doing what you can to boost your immune system and avoid what triggers your allergies (pollen, animal dander, dust, food triggers, etc.)
Hear what Sandi had to say about the Bhramara Mudra for allergy relief and what she said about coming to my Transforming Stress into Awakened Living workshop in this minute-long video.
