Great music for yoga, sitting calmly, or what I like to do best with it: listen while I’m on my computer! While I work, it helps me stay alert and focused, and tuned into nature and the elements with water flowing and birds chirping. The flute and strings are lovely!
It’s so much fun to watch someone make art! I have so much admiration for the arts and creative expression. I’ve just begun to paint watercolors again myself, and find it so calming and cooling to express through COLOR and WATER! (P.S. this is not me painting but maybe one day I’ll show you my creations!)
Sweet relief is here! Jalashaya Mudra can help relieve intensity: anger, frustration, trying too hard, heat, as well as inflammation, to bring you into a calm, cool and sweet state. These are the attributes of the inner Wood Element out of balance, which is most active in the Spring Season.
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.
“In My Inner Lake of Peace, I am Soothed, Calmed and Refreshed.”
HOW TO: 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.
