Linga Mudra | Gesture of the Symbol of Creative Source

For activating Udana Vayu...
Udana Vayu is the current that flows through the upper chest - rising from collar-bones through to crown of the head - & is assisted by exhalations. It supports our mental functions such as our ability to concentrate & express, & when the Vayu is balanced, our intuition becomes more alert too.
It’s enhanced by Linga Mudra, a sacred Indian symbol with several representations, & by using this gesture, we direct the breath, awareness & energy to the neck & head, nourishing the throat, vocal chords, the brain & senses as a result.
This can subsequently bring a sense of mental clarity & better focus, facilitating the person to communicate more clearly & confidently.

​Method :
1. Cup your hands together, interlocking them from outside
2. Tip of right thumb touches tip of right index finger as they wrap around the left thumb
3. Left thumb extends upwards
4. Test wrists light on sides of ribs so the hand gesture sits just in front of solar plexus; allow elbows to hang relax by the side of the body

5. Breath nasally, observing the flow of the breath, noticing the effects/sensations to the upper chest, throat to crown of the head
