| 0:00.0 | This is Episode 1525. Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Mechley and I wonder |
| 0:15.5 | what the quality of your life would be like. If you listened more with your heart in today's |
| 0:29.1 | episode, you're going to discover a meditation technique called Amudra that you can do as you |
| 0:39.7 | meditate today. And this is Amudra called the Apan-Vayu-Mudra. It's Amudra that supports your heart. |
| 0:50.9 | In fact, this is Amudra that calms your heart. But it also helps you to connect more with your |
| 1:04.1 | heart qualities. Moodras are often referred to as yoga in your hands. We have a lot of nerve |
| 1:15.0 | endings on our fingertips, especially in our hands. And when you position your fingers and hands in |
| 1:23.7 | a particular way, it stimulates a corresponding region of your brain in a similar way as when you do yoga. |
| 1:32.6 | And as you do this Amudra, I'll get you started on a meditation where you focus more on the |
| 1:51.7 | qualities of your heart, love, compassion. And these will help you to draw out your innermost |
| 2:07.4 | essence. So you'll listen to your heart. To do the Apan-Vayu-Mudra is simple. There is a photo |
| 2:21.7 | on the SIP and OM Facebook page. I always share a photo there so you can take a look at what |
| 2:31.4 | the Moodra looks like. You touch your thumb to your middle entering fingers, touching the tips |
| 2:43.6 | together. And then you extend your little finger outward. And then with your index finger, |
| 2:52.8 | fold it down and touch the base of your thumb. That's it. The Apan-Vayu-Mudra for your heart. |
| 3:03.8 | Touching your thumb with your middle and earring fingers, extending your little finger outward, |
| 3:18.2 | curling your index finger downward, touching the base of your thumb. You can hold this Moodra for |
| 3:26.6 | however long you feel comfortable doing so. I like to do this Moodra at night when I've had |
| 3:35.6 | kind of a rough day. And I can't seem to settle my thoughts. And I feel stirred up, |
| 3:47.6 | but I want to sleep. And so I do this Moodra and it calms my heart. |
| 3:57.4 | Moodra's benefit you whether you do them while you're meditating or if you do them during |
| 4:08.0 | stressful times in your day. You can find the full guided meditations at |
