Ganesha Meditation for Focus & Clarity
Sit with a straight spine and the eyes closed.
1a
MUDRA: The left thumb and little finger extend out from the hand. The
other fingers are curled into a fist with fingertips on the Moon Mound (the
root of the thumb that extends down to the wrist).
1a) The left hand and elbow are parallel to the floor, with the tip of the
left thumb pressing on the curved notch of the nose between the eyes.
1b) With the right hand and elbow parallel to the floor, grasp the left
little finger with the right hand and close the right hand into a fist around it,
so that both hands now extend straight out from your head. Push the notch
with the tip of the left thumb to the extent that you feel some soreness
as you breathe long and deep. After continued practice, this soreness
reduces.
TIME: Do this for 3 minutes and no longer. With practice you can extend
this meditation up to 11 minutes. But if you’ve mastered it, you only need
3 minutes for immediate focus and to stop the negative thought that was
taking you where you did not want to go.
TO END: Maintain the posture with eyes closed, inhale. Push a little more
and pull the Navel Point in by tightening the abdominal muscles for 10
seconds, then exhale. Repeat one more time.
