Shambhavi Mudra

Shambhavi – Wife of Shiva or Shakti

Bhru – eye

Madhya – centre

Drishti - gazing

Sit in padmasan, siddhasan, or in any other meditative position with hands in dhyana mudra. Close the eyes and relax the body.

Open the eyes and focus on the eyebrow centre. A big V should be seen. If the V is distorted one eye might not be focusing properly, this might be due to flexibility of the eyes. Fully concentrate on this point for about 10 seconds. Do not strain the eyes. Close the eyes if there is any discomfort.

Close your eyes. Warm up the hands and cover the eyes to relax the eyes.

Repeat the practice for a few minutes.

Benefits:

1. Good for stress relief and concentration of the mind.
2. Strengthens the eyes.
3. Awakening of Ajna chakra

Precautions

Do not practice if there is glaucoma. If there are any major eye problems consult with an expert before practicing.
