Mahasirs Yoga Mudra for Headaches

October 30, 2010 by Julie Lusk

I woke up in the middle of the night not long ago with a headache.  Ouch!  It was piercing me right between the eyes.  This is unusual for me and I was hurting and unhappy about it.

Well,  I was snuggled under the covers and didn’t want to get up.  Luckily, I thought of the yoga mudra for headaches.  In no time at all, my head quit hurting and I was back sleeping once again.  Since I didn’t look at the clock (that’s too depressing in the middle of the night), I woke up once more with a headache so I repeated the yoga mudra and it worked just as fast.  The next morning I woke up feeling rested and no more headache.

How to do the Mahasirs Mudra for Headaches

  1. Place your ring finger into the fold of the thumb.
  2. Touch the tips of your thumb, index and middle finger.
  3. Keep the baby straight.
  4. Do this with both hands.
  5. Hold it as long as necessary.

Benefits of the Mahasirs Mudra

  • Relieves tension
  • Balances energy
  • Eliminates mucus congestion in the frontal sinuses
  • Quiets the senses and calms the emotions

This mudra is particularly good for sinus headaches.  It is also calming, centering and clears your head bringing clarity.
