Anjali Mudra

The word 'Anjali' means to adorn, honor, to celebrate or anoint. This mudra or gesture is also known as Hrdayanjali Mudra, which means, reverence to the self or the heart. This mudra is an excellent way to induce a peaceful state of mind. This mudra is a gesture of reverence to the divinity within.

Steps:

  • Sit comfortably in a cross- legged position. Inhale and bring your hands together.

  • The two hands are pressed against each other and held close to the heart.

  • The head should be gently bowed as in prayer.

  • Do these mudras for 5 minutes till a feeling of peace takes over.

I went through the article and first did not believe that yoga can help me with the heart disease.
But i feel a notable difference after doing it for last 15 days. This article has really helped me change my personal life and i thank the writer for it. The descriptions are very clear and precise which helps anybody to follow it. Also the article covers all the aspects and thus is even more helpful.
I recommend this article to everybody. The stress which is present in today's time can be really relieved after practicing yoga as described.
