Rudra Mudra – Gesture to activate the Solar Plexus Chakra
Rudra mudra helps to control and activate the solar plexus chakra. Chakras are vortices of energy that are present in the body. Mudras are specific hand gestures that help in harnessing and directing the energy present in different chakras. Performing different postures helps in regulating the pathways where prana or life force flows through the body.
Our life is full of stress due to instability in life. Sometimes tension also occurs in our body part. Every other person has a strain or pain in the neck, back, chest or pelvis. According to the yoga principle of the five elements, this tension is associated with the earth elements. The earth element controls the energy of the stomach and pancreas. Rudra mudra strengthens the earth element and its associated organs and hence relieves unnecessary stress and pain.
