Which Mudra do you use when meditating - to calm your mind and body? 🧘♂️ 🙌🏻 Both hands at the same time: This is standard when the goal is to calm the entire system. Provides symmetry in the nervous system More stable parasympathetic response Best for mind-wandering, inner unrest, overstimulation Apana Vayu, Chin and Shunya work most strongly this way. ✋🏻 One hand: Used when you want to influence direction, not just calm. - Right hand More active / outgoing / regulating Used if your thoughts are spinning, but your body is calm Can calm you mentally without making you heavy - Left hand More receptive / inward Used when your body is restless or "open" Good for sensitivity, emotional leakage, overstimulation 🧐 How to know what is right: If the system calms down quickly → both hands If something "chokes" or becomes flat → switch to one hand If your thoughts become sharper but not calmer → switch hands, not mudra
