Calm Your Brain

Have you tried to quiet your racing brain on a day when you need to make a decision or stay focused on many things or simply write in your journal. It happens to everyone. Life is a little crazy these days and time seems to be speeding by.

 I believe it is important to have simple tools for any kind of healing because you are more apt to want to do it. In 2 to 5 minutes, the following mudras (hand gestures) can improve concentration, memory and sharpen your mind.

  • Touch the tip of your thumb to the tip of your index finger and stretch out the other three fingers. Place your hands on your lap if you need to for comfort. Do this using both hands for 2 - 5 minutes, several times a day. You may want to incorporate an affirmation or intention.
 
  • You have probably done this mudra without knowing why. It is called Hakini mudra. Touch all of your fingers together and create a triangle. Place your hands on your chest or on your abdomen for comfort. It is thought that this hand gesture integrates the brain hemispheres and allows you to tap into your intuition.
