How to practice Prithvi Mudra?

It will be an easy task for the users to do Prithvi Mudra. They need to sit, relax, and focus their minds on this Mudra. Before starting it, you need to rub your hands to get some warming sensation and get ready to do it.

• First of all, you need to sit in a cross-legged position or sit in a Padmasana position. Users can also do it by sitting on a chair if they have any joint pain issues.
• Now keep your hands on your kneecaps and start breathing slowly for at least five times where your concentration should be on your breathing process.
• Then open your hands, curl your ring finger towards the thumb, and now start pressing the tip of your ring finger with the thumb.
• All of the other fingers should be straight, and you have to sit in this position for at least 15 minutes.

Prithvi Mudra Practice Time and Precautions

If you are a beginner, then it will take you some time to do Prithvi Mudra for a long time. The ideal timing for Prithvi Mudra is up to 30 to 45 minutes in a single sitting. But if you are a beginner, you should do it for 15 minutes three times a day. When you get habitual to it, you can increase your timing as per your convenience.

Before moving further, users need to make sure that they are not stretching the other fingers too much or will be tired very soon. Try to pull them gently and not put any pressure on them.  

Another thing you need to make sure that you don’t need to add more pressure to the tips of the ring finger; concentration will start losing, and it will not be a good option for you. It would help if you tried to cover the maximum area of your tip to get better and more effective results. You need to make sure that your body is relaxed while doing this Mudra to concentrate.

Generally, there are no side effects of Prithvi Mudra, but still, if there is Kapha dosha, you don’t need to do this Mudra.

Apart from that, a person having Asthma shouldn’t do this Mudra, or they can also contact a Yoga teacher for better suggestions.

A Pregnant woman is also not recommended to do this Mudra because they become susceptible at this time, and a slight movement can cause some imbalance in their body.
