Mudra number 63 Ida Mudra Nourished by soothing moonlight As you hold Ida Mudra,
Take several natural breaths to attune to all the feelings and sensations awakened by this gesture.
Notice how your breath is naturally directed into your left nostril while expanding your left lung and enhancing awareness of the entire left side of your body.
For your next few breaths,
Sense the whole left side of your body expanding gently with each inhalation and softening with each exhalation.
As you deepen your awareness of the left side of your body,
You naturally become more sensitive to your receptive feminine qualities.
You will awaken these qualities more completely by bringing awareness to Ida Nadhi,
The lunar channel of soothing refreshing energy.
This channel of energy runs along the left side of your spine,
From your root chakra up to your third eye,
Then down to your left nostril.
With each inhalation,
Cooling moonlight ascends,
And with each exhaling breath,
It flows back down to the base of your body,
Instilling a sense of soothing refreshment.
Take some time to follow this upward and downward movement of silver moonlight energy,
Naturally cultivating a sense of calm and serenity.
As you experience greater serenity,
Visualize yourself floating on a soft moonlit sea,
Naturally absorbing all of your receptive feminine qualities.
Begin by receiving the quality of fluidity,
The ability to flow with life cycles and seasons more easily.
Take several breaths to sense the quality of fluidity moving up and down along the left side of your spine within Ida Nadhi.
With greater fluidity,
You absorb the quality of sensitivity,
Enhancing your ability to listen to your body's messages,
Naturally unfolding your powers of inner healing.
As you integrate fluidity and sensitivity,
The quality of intuition awakens naturally,
Providing inner guidance for your journey.
As you breathe along Ida Nadhi,
Take some time to receive any messages from within your being that clarify your life's deeper purpose and meaning.
With greater intuition and sensitivity,
Your essential creativity unfolds naturally,
Enhancing your ability to give birth to new possibilities that express your life's deeper meaning.
Now take some time to breathe up and down along Ida Nadhi,
Sensing the unfolding of all of your receptive qualities,
Allowing you to flow with life's stream more easily,
Experiencing pleasure even in simple things.
Affirm your receptive qualities,
Repeating the following three times,
Aloud or silently.
Bathing in soft moonlight energy,
I flow with the rhythms of life more easily.
Bathing in soft moonlight energy,
I flow with the rhythms of life more easily.
Slowly release the gesture,
Taking several breaths to bathe in soothing moonlight.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes,
Returning slowly and gently,
More attuned to the receptive qualities of Ida Nadhi.
