Prithivi
Mudra
Earth
Mudra
Place
the tips of the thumb and ring finger on top of each other, using light
pressure. Extend the
other fingers. Do this with each hand. Do as needed, or use three times
a day for 15 minutes.
The
Prithivi Mudra can eliminate an energy deficit in the root chakra. Whether
or not you feel psychologically or physically strong and vital is largely
dependent upon this energy. This finger position also intensifies the
sense of smell and is good far the nails, skin, hair, and bones. Ifs you
feel uncertain of your steps while walking, the Prithivi Mudra can restore
your equilibrium and trust. This mudra 'also activates the root chakra,
in which our elemental force resides. We also need stability and nourishment
to grow and be effective in our place in the world. The purpose of our
lives is to connect with the Divine, which means we must also orient ourselves
toward the light and open up like a flower that is being pollinated. For
us, this may mean experiencing grace. This mudra can give us everything
that we need for a meaningful life. I use it when I feel insecure and
need inner stability and self-assurance. Moreover,
it stimulates the body temperature, the liver, and the stomach.
Stand
or sit on a chair. Keep your feet parallel and their soles flat on the
ground. Inhalation: Imagine that you are absorbing Earth energy through
the soles of your feet. Guide it up through your legs, back, and throat
into your head and far beyond into the cosmos. Hold your breath for a
few seconds. Exhalation: Like a golden rain, the energy sinks back to
Earth as the renewing force. There is a balance between taking and giving.
Now imagine a catch basin in your pelvic floor and let the energy rain
flow into your pelvis. Repeat thisa number of times.
Affirmation
The power of Earth gives me secure stability, staying power and assertiveness,
self-assurance, and self-confrdence. The power of the cosmos gives me
enthusiasm, pleasure, and joy.
