Bhairava Mudra

                                   Bhairava        Mudra

                                            

How   To   Do   Bhairava     Mudra:
To begin any exercise you need to sit down in a comfortable position. You can sit in padmasana or lotus pose by folding both your legs and sitting on floor. Make sure that you have taken a light mat or carpet before sitting. Many fitness experts have advised not to sit on floor directly as the radiations from the floor can have negative impact on your entire physical system.

Keeping your posture straight is another precondition of any yoga form or mudra exercise. You need to relax and relive yourself from the anxiety and stress surrounding you. You can close or open your eyes depending on how you feel comfortable. But what i personally feel is that a closed eye makes concentration and meditation much more easier. But it is completely your choice.

Now, you simply need to bring both your hands out and place your right hand on the top of your left hand. Now, there are two major variations of this exercise. When you place your right hand on top it is known as bhairava mudra and when you place your left hand on top it is called bhairavi mudra.

Benefits:

• The major and scientifically proved benefit of this mudra is that it is known to bring harmony or balance to both the parts or hemisphere of your brains.
• It maintains equilibrium between your left and right portion of your brain.
• Another major benefit of this mudra form is that it is known to alleviate or minimize the opposing forces to a very great extent.

Long practising or doing this bhairavi exercise brings stability and a sort of mediation to your entire body and inner self. People who suffer from regular anxieties and mood swings must do this. Thus, i find this mudra pose very handy at times when i am completely in stress.
