There are many ways in which we can raise our vibrational level. Most of the time, candles, rituals, or cosmic energy is spoken about.
However, something as simple as hand gestures can help raise our vibrational energy as well. These special hand gestures are called Mudras. It originated as a practice in Hinduism – the same philosophy which gave birth to Yoga.
A practitioner of mudras can be in tune with their inner energy as well as the cosmic energy if they use these hand gestures. Mudras, yoga-based breathing exercises, are meant to be used along with pranayama.
Pranayama helps with the flow of energy or prana in our bodies. You can do a Mudra easily with your hand. While it requires a calm environment and mental peace, you can even do it while traveling too! However, each Mudra is different and has a different effect. Here are three Mudras that can really help the flow of prana within you:
The Eagle Mudra or Garuda Mudra – Awakening
Lord Garuda appeared in the Ramayana and still plays an important role in Hinduism. He is a humanoid bird-like creature and the vahana or mount of Lord Vishnu. Garuda is depicted as a muscular man with red wings. He is linked with solar energy and is like the Sacred Phoenix. He is seen as a beacon of awakening. The mudra helps your cosmic energy to grow within. It awakens our abilities and helps us to understand who we are.
Garuda Mudra – Powers

How to do it?
- You have to first sit properly in a chair

- Start breathing for around 3 minutes and imagine the energy flowing within you
Precaution: This mudra is known to raise your blood pressure for a short while. So, before performing it, ask your doctor for advice.
Kubera Mudra – Manifestation
Kubera Mudra is associated with Yaksha, the semi-divine. He is the protector of the Northern realms and is associated with wealth. Kubera, being a wealthy god, has a plump body, wears jewels, and takes care of the money pot. The Mudra connects us with the higher Astral plane. Thus, it creates harmony between the Microcosm and Macrocosm. It helps with the manifestation of your desires.

The Lotus Mudra or The Mudra of Light
Lotus was an important symbol in several ancient civilizations, like Egypt or India. It is the Light symbol, and it moves us away from darkness and chaos to light. It is still used as a sacred flower in many Hindu rituals and Egyptian temples. Lotus mudra helps us rise from our inner darkness and connect with the Holy Light. It acts similar to a lotus – how it can stay afloat in muddy waters, not get wet, and can decorate the waters, freeing it from any negativity.
Lotus Mudra – Powers
- It takes away negative energy and cleanses our aura.

Let the mudras raise your vibrations and make the divine energy flow through you.
