Fierce gesture

Bhairava Mudra

• Place the back of the right hand on the palm of the left hand.
• With both palms facing up, rest the hands in the lap.

Breathing

• Natural breath.

Awareness

• State of mind.
• Breath in the abdomen.

Benefits

• Helps to ground and cultivates stability.
• Bring about a sense of harmony within.

Side note

• Bhairava means "terrifying" and it is an adjective applied to Lord Shiva, the aspect responsible for the dissolution of the Universe.
• The two hands represent the duality of our being - ha and tha energy, ida and pingala nadis, individual and supreme consciousness. By connecting the hands we harmonize and unite the opposites within.
