Purna Hridaya Hand Mudra for Mental/Emotional Stability

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. 

This hand mudra is called Purna Hridaya. It can help promote mental/emotional stability.  Breath capacity and the immune system also can improve.  It can bring relief when you’re feeling the blues.

How to do the Purna Hridaya hand mudra

  1. Hold your palms in front of your heart with your fingers pointing upwards.
  2. Interlace your knuckles inward at the upper joint.
  3. Make sure the right index finger is closest to your heart.
  4. Stretch your thumbs downward and touch their tips to form the shape of a heart.

How to do the Breath of Fire: Kapalabhati Breathing

by

***

Kapalabhati is pronounced KAH-pah-lah-BAH-tee.

The Breath of Fire is a powerful yoga breathing technique that emphasizes a pattern of quick exhalations followed by passive inhalations.

Benefits of the Breath of Fire – Kapalabhati Breathing

It cleans and purifies the respiratory system, invigorates the vital organs of digestion, and strengthens the nervous system.

How to do the Breath of Fire – Kapalabhati Breathing

The breath of fire is best practiced on an empty stomach. It is not to be practiced if you are pregnant, menstruating or have high blood pressure, recent abdominal surgery, heart disease, severe lung disease, hiatal hernia, or glaucoma. Do not use too much force and be cautious if you have digestive or respiratory problems.  If you have questions, please consult a qualified teacher.

Practice three rounds daily.

Come into a comfortable seated position with your spine erect. Take a few deep breaths and relax.

Exhale quickly and completely through the nostrils by contracting (snapping) the abdominal muscles toward the spine. Follow this with a passive inhalation. Repeat this several times slowly. The secret is in the rapid pumping of air out from the lower lobes of the lungs, followed by a passive inhalation that occurs naturally and automatically. The exhalation is active and the inhalation is passive.

To learn the proper amount of effort needed for each exhalation …
