Matangi Mudra is known for its ability to manifest desires and overcome obstacles. By practicing this mudra, you can tap into your inner strength and find victory in challenging situations. It also improves the breathing cycle and helps alleviate stress. Moreover, Matangi Mudra aids in removing mental obstacles that hinder our progress.
To begin practicing Matangi Mudra, follow these simple steps:
- Find a comfortable seated position in a meditative pose.
- Bring your hands close to your navel center, also known as the solar plexus.
- Interlace all of your fingers.
- Extend your middle fingers and gently press them against each other, while keeping the remaining fingers bent and relaxed.
- Begin breathing deeply, allowing your attention to be directed towards your solar plexus.
- Observe the movement of your stomach with each breath, without applying any pressure.
- Redirect your energy towards the solar plexus, focusing your awareness on this area.
The benefits of practicing Matangi Mudra:
- Improved digestive response: Matangi Mudra promotes better digestion by increasing the flow of prana and blood to the digestive system, helping to alleviate digestive issues.
- Enhanced nervous system responses: This mudra stimulates the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, leading to improved functioning of the nervous system.
- Body-mind connection: Matangi Mudra strengthens the connection between the body and mind, fostering overall stability.
- Gallbladder functioning: Regular practice of this mudra helps improve the functioning of the gallbladder.
- Relaxation of jaw muscles: Matangi Mudra helps relax the muscles of the jaw, reducing tension and promoting a sense of calm.
- Inner harmony: By practicing this mudra, you can achieve a state of inner harmony and balance.
When practicing Matangi Mudra, it is essential to keep a few precautions in mind:
- Avoid excessive pressure on your fingers or navel during the practice.
- After practicing the mudra, gently return to your conscious self, observing any subtle changes and avoiding rushing the process.
How long should you practice?
- The best time to practice is in the morning as soon as you wake up. If that will take some getting used to, then you can practice at any time of day at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating food. A full stomach makes it hard to breath properly, and it is good to give time after a session to absorb the effects before eating.
- Practice for 10-20 minutes a day, 1-3 times a day, for at least 7 days in a row. Then take account of how your are feeling and whether you need to continue for another 7 days.Â
