THE CHAKRA MUDRAS

See figure 14.5 for pictures of all the chakra mudras.

First Chakra: Touch the tip of your thumb with the tip of your index finger. Concentrate on your first chakra (root chakra) located at the base of your spine. At your own pace and volume, chant the sound Lam (pronounced “lum”) and visualize the color red.

Second Chakra: Place your hands in your lap with your palms facing up, softly cupped together; your left hand is underneath, its palm touching the back of the fingers of your right hand. Lightly touch the tips of your thumbs together. Concentrate on the second chakra (sacral chakra), which is three finger widths below the navel. Chant the sound Vam (pronounced “vum”) and visualize the color orange.

Third Chakra: Hold your hands in front of your solar plexus, between your heart and your stomach. With your fingers straight and pointing away from you, allow all of your fingertips to touch and cross your thumbs. Concentrate on your third chakra (solar plexus chakra). Chant the sound Ram (pronounced “rum”) and visualize the color yellow.

Fourth Chakra: Place the fingers of both hands in the same position, with the tips of your index fingers and thumbs touching. Now place your left hand on your left knee, palm down, and your right hand in front of the lower part of your breast bone (slightly above the solar plexus). Concentrate on the fourth chakra (heart chakra). Chant the sound Yam (pronounced “yum”) and visualize the color green.

Fifth Chakra: With your palms facing up, interlace your fingers on the inside of your hands, allowing your thumbs to be free. Let your thumbs touch at the tops and pull them slightly upwards to create a circle. Concentrate on the fifth chakra (throat chakra). Chant the sound Ham (pronounced “hum”) and visualize the color blue.

Sixth Chakra: Place your hands in front of the lower part of your breast area. Point your straightened middle fingers forward and let the fingertips touch. Each of your other fingers is bent and touching at the knuckles. Your thumbs point toward you and touch at the tops. Concentrate on your sixth chakra (third-eye chakra) slightly above the point between your eyebrows. Chant the sound OM (“ohm”) and visualize the color purple (or indigo).

Seventh Chakra: Place your hands in front of your stomach and let your ring fingers point upward, touching at their tips. Cross the rest of your fingers, with your left thumb underneath the right thumb. Concentrate on the seventh chakra (crown chakra) at the top of your head. There are two popular sounds to choose from: Visarga is often spoken as a breathy sound, like “ahhh.” Other sects employ the sound “NG,” which sounds like the end of the word “sing.” While sounding, visualize the color violet (or the colors gold or white).
