Shunya Mudra: release limitation, open to possiblity, and trust every stage of every rebirth with open-hearted ease.

Honor who you are and welcome who you are becoming.

Shunya Mudra invites openness, release, and rebirth — a gentle reminder that transformation unfolds in waves, not all at once. This hand shape softens tension through the shoulders, neck, and throat, creating space for truth, perspective, and expression to move freely.

It offers a moment to pause and integrate all you’ve shed and reclaimed, especially as Scoprio Season comes to a close. It helps you ease the intensity of transformation and rest in gratitude for your own becoming.

As you breathe with this practice, let the mantra echo through you: I am grateful for who I am, and I look forward to who I am becoming.

Practice this mudra anytime you’re ready to release what’s complete, honor what remains, and open to what’s next.

Align with your own rebirths through this mudra and the practices that accompany it.

🧘🏻‍♀️MEDITATION: Rebirth Meditation

WHY:

Practice this meditation to move with the natural rhythm of transformation — pausing long enough to feel gratitude for what has changed and curiosity for what and who’s coming next.

PLACE:

Find a comfortable seat. Perhaps sit on a bolster or blanket to get your hips a little higher than your knees. 

MUDRA:

Find Shunya Mudra by bending each middle finger so its tip meets the base of the thumb mound on each hand. Secure your middle fingers with your thumbs. Rest the backs of your hands on your knees or legs. Soften your shoulders and align your spine.

MANTRA:

WAHE means WOW and GURU is both shadows and light.

PRANAYAMA:

Inhale as deeply as possible through your nose.

Savor your breath and repeat the mantra WAHE GURU mentally or verbally as many times as is comfortable in the pause.

Exhale through your nose when you need to.

Hold your breath out and repeat the mantra again as many times as is comfortable.

Continue for 3+ minutes.

DRISHTI:

If it feels safe, allow your eyelids to feel heavy and close.

TO END:

Let go of the mudra, chant, and pranayama, and take a moment to feel.

✨MANTRA:

I am grateful for who I am and I look forward to who I am becoming.

I hope you feel grateful for your own becoming — trusting that you are always who you are meant to be, before, during and after the rebirth.
