Naga Mudra
Naga Mudra is the mudra of strength, wisdom, shrewdness and potency. To practice this mudra, face both palms towards you and cross the right hand behind the left hand. The left hand should be vertical and the right hand should be horizontal. Lastly cross the thumbs across the left palm.
Naga mudra is associated with the snake goddess, Naga. This mudra is sometimes referred to as “the mudra of deeper insight.” It can be a beneficial mudra to practice when starting or continuing on a spiritual path. Practice this mudra while asking a question you want deeper insight on. As you breath and meditate, the answer will become clearer as you connect with the wisdom of cosmic consciousness.
“All my senses are focused on the Divine, and I thankfully accept its wise advice and its deeds.”
QOTD: "When there has been or is a moment in your life where you feel like you are torn between paths (so to speak) or you feel as though you are at a crossroads with a decision… What do you do?" (3/10/2016) I've been at many crossroads in my life. I feel that for the most part I've chosen the right path. My most recent crossroads decision was to start Ayurvedic training. I can feel it's my dharma, so the decision feels right. I remember one of my first big life decisions was where to go to college. For many of us this is true. I remember how torn I felt. I grew up in South Florida and all my friends were going to Florida schools. Only a handful of people were even considering going out-of-state, and I was one of them. I was looking at Tulane, NYU, University of Michigan. I waited until the last possible day to make my decision. I knew in my gut where I should go but my fear of the unknown was having me vacillate. In the end I chose the University of Michigan and I'm so glad that I did.
Another big crossroads was when I was graduating from college. I had an opportunity to live in New Zealand for a year after college but I also had a pretty serious boyfriend in Ann Arbor. I was really struggling with what to do. I loved my boyfriend but our relationship was a mess. I was afraid to be without him though. I realized if I stayed and didn't go to New Zealand I would regret it forever. I would also be making my decision based on fear. That moment taught me something HUGE in my life. Never make any decisions based on fear. In fact I've go so far as to say, if I'm afraid of something it's probably the thing I need to do the most. I never want to decide on a path just because I'm afraid to do the other choice. I've overcome some big fears that way and chosen some great outcomes because of it.
