Do you find it difficult to get to sleep at night? Even though you know you are tired.  Shakti Mudra is said to help relieve menstrual cramps in women as well as insomnia.  Its helps to increase respiration in the lower part of your chest creating a calming effect on the body. Sounds great especially if you've had a long day, working, doing chores or simply navigating public transport!  Try this Mudra after a long day when you need to wind down after all the hustle and bustle of the day in the city.

  • Join the tips of your two ring fingers together.
  • Fold your thumbs into the palms.
  • Gently fold the index fingers and middle fingers over the thumbs.
  • Take deep smooth breaths.
  • Focus on the pelvic area and lower abdomen.
  • Lengthen your exhalations.
  • Practice for around 10 minutes or until you start to feel the body start to relax.
