Mudras for Chakras - how to use Mudras to open chakras

There are many types of mudras for chakras - A mudrā (Sanskrit, मुद्रा,) is a symbolic gesture, used in the iconography of Hindu and Buddhist art of the Indian subcontinent. They are gestures usually made with the hand or fingers. Along with āsanas, they are employed in the yoga meditation practice of Hinduism. Each mudrā has a specific quality that is said to be imparted to the practitioner.

There are many types of Mudra, for example:

The Abhaya (which means "No-fear") represents protection, peace, benevolence, and dispelling of fear. The gesure is usually made with the right hand raised to shoulder height, arm bent and the palm facing outward with the fingers upright and joined and the left hand hanging down on the right side of the body while standing.

The Dharmachakra Mudrā represents the moment Buddha preached his first sermon after his Enlightenment. This Mudrā position represents the turning of the wheel of the Dharma. Dharmacakra Mudrā is when you join your hands together in front of the chest having the right palm forward and the left palm upward, sometimes facing the chest.

The Karana mudra is the mudra which disposes of demons. It is also used to remove illness and negative thoughts. It is made by raising the index and the little finger, and folding the other fingers.

We can open the chakras using Mudras. For example, the open the base chakra, simply hold your thumb and index finger together. It is even more effective at opening the chakra if you chant the sound LAM.

To open the sacral chakra using Mudras, simply hold both hands in front of you, the right hand on top of the left hand, palms facing upwards. Let the tips of the thumbs come into contact with one another.

To open the solar plexus chakra, hold your hands in front of you and join your fingers together. Keep the fingers straight, and cross the thumbs. You can also chant 'RAM' to further open the chakras.
