surya mudra

In honor of the summer solstice yesterday, the longest day of the year, today's mudra will be Surya Mudra, named after the sun god Surya.  As you may expect, it increases the fire element in the body; aiding with digestion, speeding metabolism, strengthening vision, increasing appetite, and warming the body.  

To manifest Surya Mudra, press the tip of the ring finger into the base of the thumb, then apply gentle pressure of the thumb on the length of the bent ring finger.  All other fingers extend.  Practice for for around 30 minutes.  Namaste btiches, xx.
