Tejas Mudra: cultivate trust so you can nurture old wounds of the heart and nourish new optimism and love.
What would it feel like to live with your heart wide open?
Slightly terrifying?
Really freaking empowering?
Oftentimes, when our hearts get wounded, we guard them, often unconsciously, to protect them. But when we do that we protect them from all of the love and joy too.
Tejas Mudra helps you find a sense of trust so you feel empowered to open your heart wide. It helps heal old wounds to make space for new joys in the process.
Tejas Mudra is a wonderful handshape to work with anytime you want to feel into trust, radiance, and vulnerability, but especially during Cancer Season so you can make the most of its heart-opening energy. It helps you connect to the air and fire elements and gives some love to your anahata, or heart chakra.
Trust yourself and the power of your heart with this mudra and these tools to support its intention!
