Understanding Sambhavi Mudra

Sambhavi means ‘that which opens the doorway to possibilities’ and Sambhavi Mudra is a yogic gesture that involves directing the gaze (drishti) upwards, to the space between the eyebrows, known as the third eye or ajna chakra.

The Practice of Sambhavi Mudra

To practice Sambhavi Mudra, find a comfortable seated position with the spine erect and the body relaxed. Gently, close the eyes and bring your awareness to the breath, allowing it to flow naturally and effortlessly.

Then, slowly and gently, direct your gaze upward towards the point in between the eyebrows, without straining or forcing the eyes. Hold the gaze in this manner, experiencing a sense of inner calmness and centeredness.

With regular practice, Sambhavi Mudra brings clarity, focus and alertness and awakens the third eye, enhancing intuition, creativity and access to silence. It opens our perception to see beyond the senses and increases our access to transcendental wisdom.

Benefits of Sambhavi Mudra

Activation of Ajna Chakra: The point between the eyebrows, known as the third eye or ajna chakra, is the seat of intuitive wisdom and inner knowing. By focusing the gaze on this point, Sambhavi Mudra stimulates the ajna chakra, facilitating increased intuition and insight.
