First, you should take care of Vitamin B12 deficiency, for this, do Prana Mudra consistently for some time. Make it a practice of sitting with Prana Mudra hands for 15 minutes minimum. Then for water imbalance, do practice Varun Mudra. It will balance the water element in the body. Urine incontinence is particularly not related to water imbalance, you should work on strengthening your pelvic floor muscles and for that, you can try Vajroli Mudra and Ashwini Mudra.
This was very informative! Check this article: Mudra for kidney disorders. You can check this article for sleep mudras. Yes, mudras can be done while walking or simply standing. While walking make sure your body is symmetric and the pace is uniform. Thank you Ashish for the guidance. What is the time gap required for doing mudras after taking the food especially after dinner?
Normally mudras practice is not considered good just after taking meals. You can resume any mudra however after taking a gap of 2 hours from your last meal. Just after your dinner, you can do Pushan mudra in Vajrasana. Thanks for the good article.
You can understand how mudra affect energy based on the fact of reflexology. Reflexology deals with study of different pressure points present on our palm and fingers. In mudra practice we activate these pressure points. The beauty of mudras is that each hand mudra position corresponds to the specific organs and systems of the body. Therefore different hand position shows different effect. Can mudra practice help in controlling Cholesterol levels? If yes could u pls explain which one should be followed and how long?
For example, Surya Mudra and Ganesha Mudra is the best you can practice for 30 to 45 minutes each day. Ashish, I have been practicing visualization for goal manifestation since around 10 years.
How can I get back the ability to visualize upon closing eyes? Please suggest on what can I do to get back to normalcy. Vaishnavi I am not such an experienced practitioner of visualization techniques as you seem to be, 10 years is really a long period! Just do these two mudras before your regular practice and then try visualizing on goal with closed eyes.
Thanks Ashish. I do visualization using Chinmaya mudra. Current problem I am facing is not related to visualization technique. I need help in coming out of this problem. Vaishnavi I found a related article to this; they called this neurological condition Aphantasia. I will share the article with you through email.
Hope it will help. Hello and thank you for your site. A friend recommended your site to learn about mudras. He suffers a similar problem with sciatica and perineum pain and impressed that mudras helped him more than anything. Since some kind of injury last winter March I have been doing physical therapy and deep breathing, and now Tai Chi for a pudendal compression as diagnosed by a physical therapist , and have made much progress, though there is still dorsal nerve aggravation in the genitalia.
He urged me to seek out the correct mudra, and, frankly, I am overwhelmed by the information. I would be very grateful. It is a debilitating occurrence for many men, bicyclists and composers who sit too much in incorrect postures and damage themselves.
Thank you. Silvio for such a specific condition related to the pelvis or genitals, a hand mudra may not show you effective results. Vajroli and Ashwini Mudra will definitely help you with this. I will start with Ashwini Mudra, Ashish. That looks more approachable at my level, given my anxiety around the condition, and see how improvement arrives. It seems like the former could perhaps complicate my condition without proper and slow introduction and attainment of muscle control. Thank you again.
And Thank you so much for this article. Quite useful. I think meditation mudras will really help you cope with this behavior. If you can do, devote some time of your daily schedule to meditation in Gyan Mudra or Dhyana Mudra. For this, you can practice Shankh Mudra without being in a meditation session. I am looking for mudras. Regarding Shankh mudra, since it need not be done in meditative pose, can it be done while am at work or in a meeting where am not concentrating on it but rather being casual about it?
Am sorry if this comes across as a naive question, am totally new to this. Shankh mudra I referred for speaking issue; however, if you want something you can do at work to calm yourself down then you can try chin mudra. For this, bend your index finger at the base of the thumb, rest three fingers as it is and bring this hand arrangement on the knees keeping palms facing downward.
It will help you to be grounded and connected in realtime. Hi Ashish! I m 48 years old. There are many mudras for navel displacement; apana mudra, shankh mudra, prithivi mudra. All these you can do while putting hands in mudra near navel for better effectiveness.

Place your right foot under your left knee, switching sides on different days—sometimes with the right foot on top and other times the left. This mudra, Alapadma, represents the offering of a fully bloomed lotus flower, or poola.
Open your hands wide, and then gently curve your fingers to create a round shape like the petals of a lotus flower. The mood for this pose is sweetness.
It represents Sarasvati Devi, the riverine goddess of knowledge, music, and art, bringing her waters of inspiration to cool the pain of separation. Begin with both hands in loose fists. With your left hand, form Kapittha Mudra by resting your thumb gently against the tip of your index finger. This pose represents Sarasvati Devi holding the top of her celestial instrument, the veena.
Use your right hand to form Suchi Mudra with index finger pointing straight out and thumb relaxing on top of the middle finger, suggesting Sarasvati Devi plucking the veena strings.
Stand tall with your feet slightly turned out. While bending your knees, transfer your weight to your left foot and cross your right knee behind your left.
Look over to your left side, pointing your right foot to the sky while sitting a little deeper into your hips. Hide your right knee behind your left as you move your hips a few inches to the left. Now add the position of your arms and hands: Your left hand should be aligned with your forehead, with the tip of your index finger pointing toward you. Your right hand will hover in the air, in line with your right hip. Point your index finger toward the center of your body.
See also Fearless Heart Seal. In this pose, the goddess is holding her veena with slightly different hand positions. Meanwhile, the index, middle, and ring fingers point toward the face. The right hand is in Sukachanchu Mudra with all fingers circled like a wheel—the thumb and middle fingers touching. Standing while holding your mudras, cross your right foot in front of your left, leaving 12 inches between the feet. Bend your knees, and sit on your left heel or foot as you bring your left knee to the floor.
Cross your right leg on top of the left. Repeat on the other side. This pose represents Sarasvati Devi soothing our souls with her music.
It lullabies us into remembrance and reunion. Take the nail of your index finger to the base of your thumb. Connect the tip of your middle finger to the tip of your thumb, stretching out the ring and little fingers for Bhramara, the bee mudra.
The high vibration of a bee, its sounds, and its effects on our environment mean that this hand gesture is associated with the crown chakra and higher realms.

Such is the case of the Mudras. To put it simply, a Mudra is a hand gesture that guides the energy flow to specific areas of the brain. There are many types of Mudras designed to bring different benefits, depending on what we specifically need. They are done in conjunction with breathing to increase the flow of Prana in the body. By practicing it, a connection is developed with the patterns in the brain that influences the unconscious reflexes in the different areas.
The internal energy is, in turn, balanced and redirected, creating an impact on the sensory organs, tendons and glands veins. Read on to understand the eight basic types of Mudras, along with their uses and benefits. Or sign up for a hour yoga teacher training and learn in-depth the science of yoga! This Mudra gives rise to the root chakra reducing tension and depression. This pose is quite calming and spiritually awakening.
It stimulates the air element in the body, which ultimately leads to an increase in the memory power, nervous system and pituitary gland production. It increases the level of concentration, builds mental power and sharpens the brain. If done regularly, your mental and psychological disorders such as anger, stress, anxiety depression and even insomnia can be improved considerably.
This pose is performed by touching the index finger with the thumb while keeping the other three fingers straight. It is best to perform this pose in the early morning for 35 to 40 minutes at a stretch.
