KNOW THE ABHAYA HRDAYA MUDRA AND IT’S IMPORTANCE Mudra

Abbhaya Hrdaya Mudra

Abhaya Hrdaya Mudra is a joint-hand gesture (samyukta hasta) used in the yoga tradition as a powerful energy conductor and mind seal.

It is a lesser-known Tantric gesture that, according to oral tradition, was traditionally kept secret among initiates. The mudra is known for its unique ability to rejuvenate one’s vital force and reduce fragmented thoughts and scattered energy.

This gesture is known to improve energies in and around the heart. By doing so, it revitalizes the heart and its energy. Practicing this Mudra activates the Anahata Chakra that represents the heart. This Mudra increases the Oxygen flow to the heart, hence improving the heart’s functioning. As we all know, our heart communicates with the lungs to supply oxygen to our entire body. Hence, if there’s a good amount of oxygen supply in our heart, our arteries will carry more oxygen throughout, which will help to promote our health. Practicing this Mudra can help overcome common problems such as fear and anxiety, which is why it is called “Abhaya Hridaya Mudra.”

Technique  - Raise the hands in front of the chest, palms facing center. Cross the wrists with the backs of the hands touching, right hand closest to your body, palms facing to the sides. Firmly interlock the index, middle, and little fingers, while connecting the tips of the thumb and ring finger on both hands, forming two rings.

Application-  In a seated meditation posture, hold the mudra firmly to your chest and pull down gently rooting it into the base of your sternum. Breathe naturally and hold for 5 to 45 minutes or as per your convenience 

Benefits -  Nourishes the heart and lungs, improves digestion, imparts a powerful sense of vitality and calm, can help reduce nightmares and reestablish basic sanity to a troubled mind. Use of this mudra is especially helpful during times of exhaustion, healing from debilitating illness, or regaining strength after surgery.

Energetically, it allows heat to descend from the head through the chest down into the belly, thus regulating the healthy function of all the internal organs.
