This is episode 1, 798.

Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast.

I'm Mary Meckley and I honor you for showing up for yourself today.

Midweek as I record this series,

and here you are getting ready to do one of the best things you could possibly do for yourself,

and that is to meditate. In today's episode we continue

along with our series on physical healing in your body.

We're following along with the book,

The body keeps the score,

brain mind and body in the healing of trauma. This is by Bessel Van Derkolk who is an MD.

And I want to share with you a special technique in today's episode and that is a

mudra technique. I'll guide you and how to do the Brahma

Mujah and this is a Mujah that helps to release pain and tension

in your neck and shoulders. If you're wondering what a

mudra is, moodra's are simply ways you position your fingers and hands. We have a lot of nerve endings in our

fingers and hands and this stimulates a corresponding region of the brain. Now you can hold the moodrap for 5 to 15 minutes at a time

several times a day for best results. You can go to the SIP and OOM Facebook page to see a photo of

the mudra there. The mudra is very simple to do. I'll guide you through it right now.

With your hands uplifted, go ahead and fold your thumbs down, doing this with both hands, into your palm, and then take your fingers

and fold them down over your thumb. So you're making fists with your hands with your thumb folded down into your palm.

And then you're going to take your knuckles from each hand and just place them together so they're

touching as you hold your hands in this position. Hold it for as long as you feel comfortable doing so.
