Lotus Mudra

This mudra belongs to the heart chakra and is the symbol for purity.  Love lives in the heart.  We are meant to keep it pure and give it unconditionally like an open flower.  An open flower opens to the sun, the divine principle, and let's itself be given whatever it needs; and it is given in abundance.  Do this mudra when you feel drained, misunderstood, or lonely.  Open yourself to the divine force and receive whatever you need.

 

Imagine the bud of a lotus flower in your heart.  Every time you inhale, the flower opens a bit more - until it finally is completely open and can absorb the full sunlight into itself.  It lets itself be filled with light. lightness, warmth, love, desire, and joy.

 

Affirmation

"I open myself to nature; I open myself to the good that exists in every human being; and I open myself to the Diovine so that I will be richly blessed."
