This mudra affects the "jal" or water in the body and is known as the water mudra, Jal-vardhak mudra (which seemed appropriate today as we enter another flood watch). This mudra is expressed by gently pressing the tip of the little finger against the thumb while keeping the ring, middle and pointer fingers extended together. In yogic view the little finger represents the element of water. Performing Varun mudra increases the water content of the body by affecting and aiding the water metabolism. It helps to rehydrate cells, tissues, muscles, fascia, skin, connective tissue, etc.
In Ayurveda water is a component of Kapha + Pitta. This mudra can be beneficial to balance Vata but those with excessive Kapha + Pitta should only practice it moderately.
In addition to helping with a variety of moisture depletion related ailments in the body (cramps, indigestion, constipation, joint degeneration) this mudra helps the unconscious become conscious. Practice for a duration of 15 - 45 minutes. Namaste bitches, xx.
