Garuda Mudra
The Garuda Mudra activates the blood flow and the circulation. It also helps alleviate exhaustion. One should do this three times a day for four minutes.
Clasp your thumbs and place your hands, the right on top of the left with the palms facing inwards, on your lower abdomen. Remain in this position for about ten breaths.
Later slide your hands to the navel. Remain there for another ten breaths.
Then place your hands on the pit of the stomach and remain for another ten breaths.
After this, place your left hand on the sternum, turn your hands in the direction of your shoulders and spread your fingers.
Suchi Mudra
It is vital for health to have daily and good elimination. Elimination is an important process in body-mind healing, not confined to the body alone, but the cleansing is also vital for the mind, soul and consciousness as well. Prolonged constipation, apart from the discomfort, leads to several other medical problems. Intestinal cleaning is essential in yoga. Castro and anorectic disorders are caused by stress, and if one doesn`t have good daily elimination, the stress increases and can result in more medical and emotional problems.
Clench both fists and hold them in front of your chest.
Inhale and stretch the right arm to the right and point the index finger upwards.
Also, simultaneously, stretch the left arm to the left. Hold this for six breaths and return to the starting position.
Repeat six times on both sides.
If the constipation is serious, do this Mudra four times a day. For constipation that is not so severe, repeat six to twelve times in the morning and at noon.
