Gyan Mudra

"Hands are more than just functional; they are an energy map of our consciousness and health"

When I first started learning about meditation I would always see people cross legged with there hands resting on their knee, with the thumb and index finger touching. I thought at first it was a way to relax yourself and focus, but instead I have learned it actually has important meaning. When you rest your hands palm up with your index finger and thumb touching is called Gyan Mudra which means "seal of knowledge". The importance of Gyan Mudra is that it stimulates knowledge, wisdom, receptivity, and calmness. If you have an important decision to make, with position will help you find wisdom and seek your answer.

Yoga In The Sand

This weekend I went to the beach and did yoga. For me yoga improves my mental health, by helping me be at peace in life and having a great attitude. I love adventuring and finding
beautiful places in nature. Yoga can help you whether you are inside or outside, but when you are outside you breathe the fresh air that nature gives us and it is an amazing thing. Yoga brings peace into my life, "When we run from silence, we run from ourselves"-Michael Jeffery. I'm excited to continue to share my yoga experiences with you as it changes my mental health.
