Mudras are gestures that create shifts in the physical, mental and energetic bodies, through guiding the energetic flow and, among these transformative gestures, Kamala mudra, also known as Lotus mudra, stands out for its ability to cultivate inner beauty and support the blossoming of consciousness.
"Kamala" means lotus and in Kamala Mudra, the hands form a shape resembling a lotus flower in bloom. This gesture evokes the beauty and grace of the lotus, inviting practitioners to awaken to their inherent divinity and embrace their journey towards enlightenment.
It symbolises purity and the potential for spiritual growth.
To practice Kamala Mudra, come into a comfortable seated position with the spine erect and the body relaxed.
Bring your hands together in front of your heart centre. Gently touch the thumbs together and the little fingers together while allowing the other fingers to spread apart, creating the shape of a lotus flower with petals in full bloom.
Close your eyes softly and bring your awareness to the breath, allowing it to flow naturally and effortlessly.
As you hold Kamala Mudra, see yourself as a lotus flower, gradually blossoming, allowing more and more of your beautiful light to shine through.
