Siddha Mudra is a hand gesture used in yoga and meditation, thought to symbolise a connection to spiritual energy and divine wisdom. The word "Siddha" means "attained" or "perfected" and "Mudra" means "gesture" or "seal." This mudra is often used for grounding, mental clarity, and enhancing spiritual growth.

How to perform Siddha Mudra:

  1. Sit in a comfortable position: You can sit cross-legged on the floor, on a cushion, or in a chair, with your spine straight and relaxed.
  2. Form the mudra: Touch the tips of your thumb and index finger together, forming a circle, while keeping the other three fingers extended and relaxed.
  3. Rest your hands on your knees: With your palms facing upward, let your hands relax in your lap or on your knees.
  4. Focus: Close your eyes and focus on your breath, or meditate with an intention, allowing the mudra to support your practice.

Benefits of Siddha Mudra:

  • Promotes mental clarity and focus.
  • Enhances intuitive abilities and spiritual awareness.
  • Calms the mind, reducing anxiety and stress.
  • Balances energy in the body, fostering a sense of peace.
  • Deepens meditation and spiritual practices.

It's often considered a gesture of inner wisdom and can be used in conjunction with other practices like pranayama (breathing exercises) or during meditation to deepen your connection with your higher self. Do you practice mudras or meditation often?
