Remedy for Venus ~ Kubera Mudra

Pacifies afflicted Venus and Moon.

 

Kubera mudra is also referred to as the ‘three finger technique’ because the mudra involves the use of three fingers of each hand. The money mudra allows a person to fulfill his/her desire and achieve gratification, contentment, and prosperity. The hand gesture helps content the three elements of nature – fire, air, and ether that together control various bodily functions. The thumb is the source of strength and confidence, while the middle finger imbues one with humbleness and leads through the path of karma. This union is enriched by the presence of the index finger that adds the element of luck to any karma or endeavor of the practitioner. These three fingers also channelize energy into the practitioner.

Kubera Mudra Meaning

The mudra derives its name from Kubera – the lord of wealth mentioned in Indian mythology. As such, Kubera mudra is also known as the wealth gesture. Moreover, the connection of the three fingers helps restore any imbalance of the three elements within the body, which leads to better mental and physical health. That is why mudra for money is also known as the mudra for health.

How to do Kubera Mudra?

To gain the benefits of the wealth mudra, it is essential to practice it accurately. That is why we have laid down a step-by-step guide of how to perform the mudra:

Like any other mudra, mudra for prosperity can be practiced sitting down. You can assume any yoga pose that feels comfortable to you. This could be Simple pose (Sukhasana), Lotus pose (Padmasana), Hero pose (Veerasana), Diamond pose (Vajrasana), Accomplished pose (Siddhasana), etc. Even if you cannot assume any of these poses, you can sit in any pose that you feel comfortable in. 

In the next step, close your eyes. However, it is not essential to do so to perform the mudra for money. You can keep your eyes open and focus on a particular thing so as not to get distracted. With eyes closed, you can attain better focus. 

Next, place both your hands on the thighs. Your palms should be open and face upwards. 

Now bring your thumb, middle finger, and index fingers together and create light pressure on each fingertip. Do not press too much.  

Point this joint upwards. This allows upward movement of energy and calms the mind and body. Fold the other two fingers so that they are at the palm’s center.

Be in this posture for about 10-15 minutes and repeat it. You can also perform it for 30 minutes at a stretch. 

Gradually flatten your fingers to release the mudra for prosperity. 

 

Note – One can perform the Kubera mudra standing up or lying down. Moreover, the wealth mudra can be performed on a full stomach and anywhere you want.
