Chaturmukham Mudra: cultivate contentment so you can stay centered in the truth of who you are despite what is happening around you
Contentment is a state of being fully at peace with everything, just as it is. It is a stable and steadfast emotion that allows you to accept the light and the dark knowing you can navigate it all.
Chaturmukam mudra helps you cultivate this steady emotion so you can live life with a positive outlook even if certain situations feel not so positive. This allows you to connect to your true being and always find a silver lining.
It is a wonderful handshape to work with anytime you want to shift into the energy of contentment, but especially during Gemini Season when the cosmos is calling you to appreciate polarities. It’s just like in the Disney movie, Inside Out, that teaches children (and grownups) about the value of the full spectrum of emotions. You can’t have the joy without knowing sadness. You can’t have calm without a little anger. You can’t have ease without first knowing fear.
The beautiful sankrit yoga word, santosha, means contentment. It refers to the ability to remain centered within the truth of who you are despite what is happening around you.
Cultivate santosha for yourself with this mudra and these tools to support its intention!
Garuda Mudra: encourage openness and communication so you can express yourself fully and freely
What would it feel like to express yourself freely?
Refreshing? Empowering? Freeing?
Garuda mudra helps you give yourself full permission for FULL expression. The ideas and intelligence only you possess can’t make a difference if you don’t allow them to be expressed into the world! Your voice can only make an impact if you share it!
Encouraging self-expression is ALWAYS helpful, but especially aligned during Gemini season.
This hand shape helps you connect to your throat chakra, or vishuddha, so you can use your communication in a way only you can. Garuda is the sanskrit word for eagle and this mudra helps you embody and channel the eagle energy of freedom and openness. It also supports the physical anatomy and functioning of your neck, throat, vocal cords, and jaw.
Cultivate that for yourself with this mudra and these tools to support its intention!
Gyan Mudra: foster concentration and safety so you can focus on living your truth
It’s time to foster concentration and safety so you can lean into your knowing and focus on living your truth!
It’s hard to live your truth if you can’t stay focused on what it is - or don’t feel safe doing so. It’s easy to get distracted from your mission, especially during Gemini Season (or any air sign season really!). Air sign energy wants to make a difference, but can get VERY distracted along the way. Gyan mudra recenters your focus. That’s why it is so potent to work with during Gemini Season or anytime you want to work with Gemini or other air energy.
This hand shape helps you connect to your root chakra, or muladhara, so you can center yourself. It helps you focus your curiosity and intellect so you can make a difference rather than get distracted! Cultivate that for yourself with this mudra and these tools to support its intention!
Kilaka Mudra: find safety in connection, expression and change to create a better world with and for the collective
t’s time to embrace and create change through expression and connection!
It’s always helpful to open yourself to connection, expression, curiosity, and change-making, but it is especially aligned during Gemini Season or anytime you want to work with Gemini energy. Gemini energy is intelligent and curious, and inspires you to use your own intelligence and curiosity to create a better world for the collective.
It reminds you that YOU are an integral part of the bigger picture and you have the power to create meaningful change, especially through connection with others and sharing your intelligence. It helps you feel safe enough to do that.
This hand shape helps you have a WE rather than me outlook. It helps you open to expressing the ideas that can only come from you so they can come to life and make a difference for all. Cultivate that for yourself with this mudra and these tools to support its intention!
Kubera Mudra: release limiting beliefs around worthiness and cultivate abundance
Kubera Mudra is THE mudra for abundance!
Which, “yes please” to abundance energy all the time, but it is especially helpful to work with during Taurus season or any time you want to connect to Taurus energy. Taurus energy inspires you to appreciate all the beauty and abundance already in your life AND magnetize more towards you. It reminds you to work hard and rest harder, so you allow yourself time to enjoy it all. It reminds you that you are worthy of a beautiful and abundant life. It really is your birthright. This hand shape helps you release any doubt you have about that truth. Cultivate that for yourself with this mudra and these tools to support its intention!
Adhi Mudra: fostering presence, stability, and calm
Adhi Mudra is a wonderful mudra to practice anytime, but especially to connect to the light side of Taurus energy or during Taurus season. Taurus energy invites you to be present. It reminds you to take the time to notice how beautiful your life already is in big and small ways. Let presence show you through this hand shape and these tools to support its intention!
