Good morning friends. Happy Saturday! Today's thought and a little yoga education.
Honor your Heart's Intention
Anjali Mudra, a hand gesture in which we draw our palms together in gratitude or in prayer, signifies honoring, and is based on the idea of a lotus blossom with its petals folded together. To form this gesture, hold your hands up in front of you, palms facing each other. Connect your thumbs, your pinkies, your index fingers, your ring fingers, and finish by connecting your middle fingers, the center of the flower. The lotus represents your heart, and when we join our palms in Anjali Mudra, we draw our prayers from the depths of our hearts out into the world where we can actualize them. At the beginning and the end of our yoga or meditation session, we draw our hands together in Anjali Mudra in gratitude for our practice and to honor our hearts' intentions.
