PADMA MUDRA
Chakra Meditation​
The Seventh Chakra ~ The Crown Chakra
The Crown Chakra is represented by a beautiful lotus flower that lives on the top of the head, connecting us to the infinite. It is here that our deepest longing resides.
This Crown Chakra ritual is called PADMA MUDRA. Padma is the Sanskrit word for "lotus". Lotus is the beloved flower of the chakra system. The lotus flower, while deeply rooted in the muddy water, grows out of the darkness and rises up, and flowers open into light. This practice helps to navigate our own murky waters and to rise up out of our darkness and unfurl into radiance of our own light.
