Sweet relief is here! Jalashaya Mudra can help relieve intensity: heat, anger, frustration, trying too hard, as well as inflammation, allowing you to float into a calm, cool and sweet state. 

Jala means ‘water’ and Shaya is ‘calm, peace, night-time’ referring to sleep. Practicing this mudra can help energy to un-stick and flow again, freeing up stagnancy to open up a fresh outlook on life and possibility. When you practice Jalashaya, the breath will naturally drop into the navel area where the WATER element is primarily located in the body to bring a sense of peaceful rhythm that calms to the mind and nervous system.

“Floating In My Inner Lake of Peace, I am Calmed, Cooled and Refreshed”

HOW TO: Both ring and little fingers are straight with the other fingers interlaced. Rest hands in Jalashaya Mudra in front of the belly. Hold for 5-10 natural breaths. State the intention statement three times out loud, then silently. Notice how you feel in body, mind, and emotions. No known cautions.

FIVE ELEMENTS: Jalashaya Mudra activates and balances the WATER ELEMENT allowing you to flow with all of life, feeling refreshed, and increases your yin/ida feminine energy allowing calm, peace and self-nourishment.

This mudra can help balance both the FIRE & WOOD ELEMENTS according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. Wood Element governs the Liver and Gallbladder which aid in the health of these important organs are the most affected by stress. Fire element works through the Heart and other organs and calming fire can bring peace to your spirit and ease to your Heart.
