Practicing Meditation
When it is a Yoga Practice day, I do a brief Meditation at the end of my routine, generally known as Shavasana or “corpse” pose. By the end of this relaxation pose, I am so refreshed and rejuvenated that I am ready to embrace the next part of my day -whatever it may bring.
I also set aside 30 minutes whenever possible to practice a bliss-ful Yoga meditation - five times a week works best for me. I simply go to a quiet space, put on some relaxing Yoga Meditation Music and meditate to soothe my body, mind and spirit. To deepen my Meditation experience I simply add a Mantra (read more below) and a Hand Yoga Mudra. OM!

Hand Yoga Mudras Hand Yoga Mudras are often Practiced during Meditation. Each finger is associated with a unique energy that when formed into Mudras, create subtle energy patterns. In Ancient Indian or Buddhism Yoga Meditation, the hands are often placed on the knees in the crossed legged position (Lotus Pose) with the palms facing upwards and thumbs and forefingers encircled and touching. Another Hand Yoga Position is the Prayer Pose and is used when connecting to the Divine during meditation or in greeting the Yoga teacher, student or each other known as Namaste. Pressing the finger tips is thought to stimulate brain patterns which can be used to invoke intention or effect desired change through Yoga Meditation. Read more about Hand Yoga Mudras! |
