Benefits of Ushas Mudra

 Ushas Mudra:-


Ushas Mudra is a wonderful way to focus the mind on new beginnings, and set intentions for a future with positive change. Named after the goddess Ushas, the goddess of the dawn who is said to bring light to the world each morning and banish oppressive darkness, the mudra symbolises and harnesses the energy of creativity and life, and setting things in motion. Each morning, Ushas provides us with a new dawn, a new day, and the opportunity to start again. In the ancient Rig Veda texts, Ushas is ‘the most exalted goddess’, portrayed as a beautiful woman riding a golden chariot across the sky, leading the way for Surya the sun god to bring forth the sun.


  • To practice this mudra, interlace the fingers so that the palms are facing your body, and the thumb tips are touching. For males, it’s traditional to place the right thumb on top, and for females the left.
  • Rest your hands in your lap and visualise a dawn sky, peace, quietness and the hint of a rising sun
  • As you visualise this, begin to bring into your awareness positive changes you want to make in your life. See yourself living and feeling how you want to live. Make the images in your mind as vibrant and realistic as you can.
  • Either silently or out loud, chant the mantra Om Ushase Namaha to invoke Ushas’ energy.
  • Continue the practice for as long as feels comfortable, then continue with your day with more positive intentions in mind.

 Benefits:-
  • Promotes clarity and mental alertness
  • Harmonizes the hormones
  • Creates pleasure

The Ushas Mudra helps us wake up in the morning. When you are still sleepy and lying in bed, place your clasped hands at the back of your head. Now inhale vigorously and deeply several times; open your eyes and mouth widely; press your elbows back into the pillow. While exhaling, let go of every tension. Repeat 6 times. If this doesn’t make you feel alert and fresh, then rub your ankle bones together, as well as the palms of your hands. Finally, you can also extend your arms and stretch vigorously.
