yoni mudra


The Yoni mudra can be described as a gesture that allows a person to get detached 

from the chaos of the outer existing world. Yoni means uterus or womb and this gesture is named 

the Yoni Mudra, because the person who practices it regularly has no external contact with the 

world, pretty much like a baby in the uterus.The yogis who practice this mudra visualize all 

their chakras. They also are in sync with their inner sounds. Scriptures state that after 

practicing the yoni mudra, right-handed people will hear the inner sounds in their right ear and 

left-handed people will hear the sounds in their left ear.The 5 fingers of the hands represent 

these 5 elements :

The Thumb symbolises the Fire
The Forefinger symbolises the Wind
The Middle finger symbolises the Ether
The Ring finger symbolises the Earth
The Little or small finger symbolises the Water

 How to practise yoni mudra:-

Cover your ears securely with your thumbs

Place your index fingers on your eyes, covering them Use both your middle fingers to pinch your nostrils

Press your lips together with your ring finger just above the top lip and your pinky below the lower lip


Breathe in and out slowly, relieving your clamp over the nostrils.

health benefits of yoni mudra :-Relaxation and rejuvenation of the mind. Stabilizing the nervous system

Maintaining a state of mental clarity and relaxation
Attaining spiritual calmness and mental development  
Sit comfortably in a chair or cross legged on the floor.
Close your eyes and take a few long deep inhalations and exhalations to relax.
Now take your thumbs on each hand and close off your ear canals.
Using the tips of your index fingers, lightly press them on your eyelids.
The middle fingers on each hand close off your nostrils.
The ring fingers on each hand rest on your upper lip
The little fingers on each hand rest under your lower lip.
Now begin to breathe through your nose and each time that you inhale, pinch the nose back closed with your middle fingers and then as you exhale, release the middle fingers. Continue to breathe, opening and closing your nostrils with each cycle of breath.
Once you are comfortable with this pattern of breathing and are able to perform it without thinking about it, draw your minds focus to your inner body’s workings and sounds.
If your mind starts to wander away from the focus on the body, acknowledge the thought and gently return to focusing on the sounds of the body.
Remain in Yoni Mudra Meditation for as long as you wish.
