Ayurveda Initiative Global: VARUNA MUDRA

Varuna mudra is a simple yoga gesture that is designed to balance the water element in the body. It is a hasta (hand) mudra and one of a series of therapeutic mudras thought to have healing properties.

To perform this mudra, the tip of the little finger and the tip of the thumb touch with light pressure, and the other three fingers remain comfortably extended.

The name for this gesture comes from the Sanskrit Varun, which is the name of the Hindu god of water, and mudra, meaning “gesture” or “seal.” It is also known as jal-vardhak mudra, which also comes from the Sanskrit, jal, meaning "water," and vardhak, meaning "enhance."

Varun mudra helps to increase water element in the body.Our body has 75 percent water.Water plays major role in every activity of our health system.water is present in protoplasm of cells,extracellular fluid,lymph,blood,tears,saliva,mucus,digestive juices,enzymes,hormones,semen,cerebrospinal fluid,etc.

Any slight decrease in the percentage of water would result in many disturbances like dehydration. Practicing Varun mudra helps to increase water element in the body and restore the balance in the system.

The element of water has a significant role in taste and tongue. Jal-vardhak mudra is useful to treat the disorders related to the tongue, taste, senses, dryness of the mouth.

Jal is the main part of Pitta and Kapha Prakriti.If you are a Pitta or Kapha Prakriti person then you should practice this mudra moderately, this mudra increases Pita and Kapha dosha.If you are a Vata dosha person then practicing this mudra regularly will be hugely beneficial to prevent illness.

DURATION FOR VARUNA MUDRA PRACTICE

30 minutes of regular practice is enough to get the benefits of Varun mudra.You can do this mudra at any time or in any place, but early hours of the morning or in meditation is preferable.

PRECAUTIONS OF VARUNA MUDRA PRACTICE

If you are a Pitta or Kapha Prakriti person, then practice this mudra in moderate only.Please do not press the little finger too close to the nail. Maintain a distance between the nail and the pressure point because pressing too close to the nail would cause dehydration instead of increasing the water element in the body.
