•  PRAYER( prathana ) MUDRA -In this mudrā is raising one’s hands in prayer with the thumbs gently touching the mid-brow region or the Aagya chakra  (the spiritual energy centre at the mid-brow region). It is best to begin praying after we are in this position.
  
   
  
   When we bow our head in this prayer position, it awakens the spiritual emotion of surrender in us. This, in turn, activates the appropriate subtle frequencies of deities from the Universe. These divine frequencies come in through our fingertips, which act as receptors. These divine frequencies are then channelised into our body through the thumb to the Aagya chakra (the spiritual energy centre at the mid-brow region). The result is an increase in the positive spiritual energy in us, which makes us feel lighter and peaceful . It  gives relief from symptoms of physical or mental distress.Prathana done with  great love and devotion pulls more divine energy in us and enhances our chakras .
