Yoni Mudra – Gesture to detach from outer world chaos
Yoni Mudra is dedicated to the female goddess Shakti in Hinduism, where ‘Yoni’ means ‘Garbha or Valva’. Most yoga postures are hand positions (with certain positions of the body) that form a gesture to help stimulate various forms of energy within the body.
Mudra is practiced to bring balance to the body in relation to the major elements (air, water, fire, earth, and space) within the body. Yoni Mudra is here in close relationship with women who are the creators of life and the source of life begins in their ‘womb’. Therefore the practice of Yoni Mudra gives strength and power like Shakti (power).
Yoni mudra can be described as a gesture that allows a person to be isolated from the chaos of the external existing world. Yoni means uterus or womb and this gesture is named Yoni Mudra, because the person who practices it regularly has no external contact with the world, much like a baby in the uterus.
Yogis practicing this mudra observe all their chakras. They also keep pace with their internal sounds. The scriptures state that after practicing Yoni Mudra, right-handed people will hear the inner voice in their right ear and left-handed people will hear a voice in their left ear.
