Abhaya Hridaya Mudra
The Abhaya Hridaya Mudra is a powerful hand posture (mudra) that symbolizes protection, fearlessness, and courage, often used in meditation and yoga practices.
Here’s how to perform it:
1. Find a Comfortable Position:
• Sit in a comfortable cross-legged position or on a chair with your feet flat on the ground. Ensure your spine is straight and shoulders are relaxed.
2. Bring Your Hands to Heart Center:
• Place both palms together in front of your heart, fingers pointing upwards.
3. Form the Mudra:
• Cross your right wrist over your left wrist in front of your sternum, with the palms facing away from each other.
• Bring the backs of your hands together.
• Wrap your right index finger around the left index finger, then your right middle finger over your left, skip over the ring finger and wrap your right little finger over your left.
• Bring your ring finger tips to your thumb to create a circle.
• Holding the mudra gently, lower your wrists to the root of your heart, at the base of the sternum. Hover the Fearless Heart Mudra in front of and around your heart.
4. Focus Your Gaze:
• Gaze softly at your hands or gently close your eyes.
5. Breathe Deeply:
• Take several deep, calming breaths. Inhale through your nose, allowing your belly to expand, and exhale slowly through your mouth.
6. Set Your Intention:
• As you hold the mudra, silently set an intention for love, protection, or healing. You might think about calling in a revolutionary kind of love—one that is transformative and empowering.
7. Hold the Mudra:
• Maintain this position for 5 to 15 minutes, focusing on your breath and the energy flowing through your body.
8. Conclude the Practice:
• When you’re ready, gently rise your hands and release your fingers in the opposite order that they were connected, take a few deep breaths, and slowly open your eyes.
