“I Move Forward Without Fear, Grounded in Trust.”
This is known as the ‘fearless mudra’ and has helped my fears dissipate on numerous occasions when I remember to practice it in an intense moment!
Abhaya Varada Mudra helps to cultivate trust in what is to come. Helping to calm your mind-emotions, body, and energy, as well as reducing stress, anxiety, and insecurity, this mudra nurtures a sense of safety and trust in both the present moment, and the future. Ultimately, it allows you to connect deeply with your True Self, who is always fearless.
FIVE ELEMENTS: Abhaya Varada activates and awakens EARTH and WATER ELEMENTS which initiates a downward flow of energy and breath into the pelvis and legs, to feel a sense of grounding, weightedness, and calm.
- Reduces stress, anxiety and insecurity.

HOW TO: Hold Abhaya Varada Mudra with Left hand in front of the belly, and Right hand cupped facing forward, for 5-10 natural breaths. State the affirmation three times out loud, then silently. Notice how you feel.
