MUDRA THEMES:
Compassion, unconditional love, empathy, heart chakra. Releases stuck emotions and assists with circulation and respiratory issues.
Wherever you are now on your journey, view your life from a more loving, gentler, kinder place. Hridaya mudra helps you tune into your heart chakra. Take a moment to feel and enter this sacred space.
Imagine being a loving mother towards yourself and how this shift in point-of-view releases you of negative thought patterns about yourself. Bathe past actions and choices in the loving glow of understanding, and feel your heart released from their grip.
Use the energy of this posture to let go of emotions that no longer serve you. Open your being to love and peace. Let go of judgement of yourself and others.
Commune again with your heart. From here, all is possible.
MUDRA:
Using both hands, fold each index finger downwards, resting the fingertip against the base of each thumb; the first knuckle of each index finger should press against the side of its thumb.
Now touch the tips of your middle and ring fingers against the pad of each thumb. Keep your little fingers extended but relaxed.
AFFIRM:
I breathe in the scent of the holy rose. I surrender and bathe in love. I envisage my life anew, with a gentle, compassionate gaze.
Author’s note: After working with this mudra for some time, I personally feel it is attuned with the energy of sacred feminine archetypes of compassion and unconditional love, including Isis of Egypt, Tara the mother of all Buddhas, and Mary the Madonna.
Please note: This is an intermediate mudra posture.
