MUDRA FOR EAR AND RELATED PROBLEMS - an article from a Palmist table.

 

 PRACTICAL AIDS:

Avoid doing anything that is too loud for your ears and affects your balance.

Rest in a quiet, dimly lit room.

Gently massage your earlobes, neck and head.

Drink a cup of hot coffee/tea.

Switch off your mobile.

Join a group which talks positive things.

 

SPIRITUAL AID:

If you search the net, you may find many Mudra suggestions for relief from Vertigo and Ear related problems. The most effective Mudra I found, for myself and for my clients was - The Shunya Mudra.  This Mudra was suggested by my Mudra guide Late Dr J Jayalakshmi , Chennai.

 

SHUNYA MUDRA:

ELEMENT:  According to Ayurveda, the "Aakash" element (also called Ether) is present throughout the body in the empty spaces between cells, like the hollowness of the intestines, bladder, blood vessels, ears and lungs, essentially representing the space within the body; it is most closely associated with the sense of hearing and is considered , the subtlest of the five elements.  This mudra is beneficial to those with a dominant Vata dosha.

CHAKRAS: Vishuddha Chakra (Throat) is related to Akash and main emotions related to this chakra are trust, creativity . Ajna Chakra ( Third eye)  is also related to Akash element and the emotions related to it are knowledge, intuition and dignity . Sahasrara Chakra (Crown) is also related to Akash and it symbolizes Oneness.

 

WHO SHOULD DO? When there is an increase in space element,  it feels, like the pressure is acting on eardrums from inside , or sometimes your ears start oozing . These could indicate, that,  your ear problems are because of excess Akash tatva in the body. If you’re having Tinnitus, ear buzzing, hearing loss, dizziness , you may adopt - Shunya mudra.

 

HOW TO DO:


                                                              Shunya Mudra

 

 Spread a mat or cloth on the ground.

Sit on it in Sukhasana, Padmasana or Siddhasana. or you can also ,sit on a chair in a comfortable position.

Make sure that your spine is straight.

Next, place your palms on your legs facing upwards.

Now, fold the middle finger and place it at the base of the thumb. Now, place the thumb over the middle finger with a little pressure. Keep the remaining three fingers straight.

Keep your eyes closed and breathe normally.

Keep your mind focused on your breathing and posture.

Soften or close your eyes, and breathe in a relaxed manner with the intention of ‘ healing your being’ . You can also listen to Chants like Om / or any Shlokas which keeps your mind calm and peaceful.

Stay in this state for at least 10 to 15 minutes.

Then, slowly open your eyes.

Best results for any Mudra is reaped, when done early in the morning or on a light stomach. 

 BENEFITS OF REGULAR PRACTICE OF SHUNYA MUDRA:


  •  It is highly beneficial in all sorts of hearing problems. It is beneficial for both- partial deafness as well as complete deafness- either due to old age or due to some ailments.
  • Useful in various ear problems such as ear aches, tinnitus, infections and other ear problems such as fluid discharge .
  • It helps to overcome motion sickness, dizziness of the head,  and gives significant relief from Vertigo.

NOTE:- Once your issue has been resolved, you should discontinue doing this mudra. 


Did you know?

   Shunya Mudra is also known as the ”Aakash Shamak Mudra” (akash means ether/space or sky and shamak means extinguisher or ‘one which reduces’).  Alternatively it is also referred as “Heaven Mudra”  as the middle finger also represents heaven. Some ancient texts also mention,  that the practice of this mudra can aid the practitioner to access the heavenly realm or hear the sounds of heaven.


Practice Guidelines:
  • A regular practice of Mudra Therapy consists of doing it 3 times a day for 15 minutes each time until the symptoms are relieved.
  • Practice with both hands for the best results.
  • Doing the mudra with your meditation practice is a wonderful addition.

    ANGULI MUDRA FOR HEART ATTACK- an article from a Palmist table.   Recent days , I have been receiving news from relatives, near and dear , of many cases being hospitalized, due to heart attack. The bothering issue, is that ,all were between the ages of 45 to 55, prime time of Ones’s Life, when your presence in the family is of utmost importance and many important duties, yet unfinished. For most of these cases I had already suggested, either the Life energy increasing Mudra , that is - the Praana Mudra or the Mudra for the heart. But , I observe, people tend to take these suggestions lightly. Rather , they are comfortable with other remedies, such as Name change, Signature change or more easier is wearing gemstones. They think, once you wear the gemstones, it will do magic. It is not so.                Unless the Self changes from inside- by lifestyle modification, with good habits, heal...

PALMISTRY - SOME MISCONCEPTIONS !

Aim of this article is to emphasize the following MOOL MANTRA . Mool Mantra:  Before coming to a conclusion, regarding a query, always chant this! Always , make interpretation about a palm,  as a whole, and do not come to a conclusion, by a single sign or feature. A negative symbol, perhaps, is modified, by a positive feature in some other place. Never come to a conclusion, on impulse. Patience is a virtue, more so to a Palm reader! Misconception 1: A short life line , implies, that you are going to die young. Reality:  Many octogenarians*  have short Life Line , but still they continue to live past age 80. Following is the palm of a lady who is in her mid seventies. Fig.1 fig.1 Meaning: Life Line alone does not decide your longevity. A defective (short/ broken/islanded) Life Line probably  indicates a major change in your life OR some bothering painful domestic issues.         ...

SIMIAN LINE

Here i have tried to register information collected from various websites, books and my own experience. A common thing i have found in people with Simian are , they are different in some way, from the remaining crowd, though, you may not be able to spot it during your first meeting. **   DIFFERENT VARIATIONS OF SIMIAN LINES First, try to identify, if the supposed line under discussion is present in the place of Heart line, Head line or in between. Because, if present in the heart line s position, it takes more of Heart lines characteristics. If in the place of Head line it takes more of Head lines characteristic.If  in between it has strong simian characteristics. ** Secondly, the line itself, may be fully Simian or partially Simian. Fully, meaning, a straight line running across the palm with little or no Heart line as in fig3. In fig1 &2 they are partially simian, with the Heartline appearing to merge with the headline below it. ** Not eve...
