Lotus

LOTUS Mudra : "Padma Mudra" \ "Lotus Seal," 


HOW

1 Gently touch the base of your palms together, allowing your thumbs and little fingers to remain extended outward.
2 Cup your hands slightly, forming a lotus shape with your palms.
3 Keep your fingers relaxed and gently curved, resembling the petals of a lotus flower.


SYMBOLISM

Lotus Mudra is a hand gesture that embodies the qualities of the lotus flower, such as purity, beauty, and spiritual awakening. It signifies the unfolding of our inner potential. The lotus, rooted in the mud, grows upward through the water and blooms into a radiant flower, symbolising the journey from darkness to light.


WHEN

Inner purity: This mudra represents purity and can aid in purifying the mind, body, and spirit. It encourages the release of impurities, negative emotions, and limiting beliefs.

Chakra balancing: While focusing on specific chakras during asana or meditation, incorporate Lotus Mudra to activate and balance the energy of those particular chakras, especially the crown chakra (Sahasrara).

Visualisation and affirmation: Combine Lotus Mudra with visualisation techniques or affirmations to amplify the power of your intentions and align with your highest potential.
