Kubera Mudra,
Gesture of the Lord of Wealth for cultivating conservation of life force energy.
Kubera is the deity of wealth and Kubera Mudra directs breath,
Awareness,
And energy into the solar plexus,
Our center of personal power,
Increasing circulation to the digestive system,
And enhancing vitality.
This gesture also directs breath to the mid-back,
Kidneys,
And adrenal glands,
Cultivating a massaging effect that releases tension from these areas.
This mudra also supports psycho-emotional digestion,
Allowing us to receive life's lessons,
Process them completely,
And release any accumulated emotions and memories.
Kubera Mudra also cultivates self-esteem,
Courage,
And determination to overcome obstacles along the spiritual journey,
Supporting you in releasing habits and beliefs that drain your energy.

Extend the index and middle fingers.
Touch the tips of the index and middle fingers to the tips of the thumbs on the same hand.
Rest the backs of the hands on the thighs or knees,
Or hold them at the level of the solar plexus with the forearms parallel to the earth.

Take several breaths to awaken your center of vitality at your solar plexus.
And as you sense its light,
Take some time to reflect on the importance of conserving vital energy within all dimensions of your being.
Begin by reflecting on your use of energy in your daily routine,
Asking yourself if there is a healthy balance of rest and activity from the time you wake until you sleep.
With your next inhalation,
Connect to your solar plexus,
Concentrating vital energy.
And as you exhale,
Allow balanced energy to radiate outward,
Bringing balance and harmony in your use of energy to all of your daily activities.
Next,
Reflect on your use of energy in relation to your career,
Asking yourself if you are using energy wisely to unfold your talents and possibilities,
Or are your needs for success and achievement producing a level of stress that drains your vitality.
With your next inhalation,
Attune to your source of balanced energy.
And as you exhale,
Sense inherent self-esteem radiating throughout your being,
Allowing you to unfold all of your talents and possibilities while using your life force energy wisely.
Now bring awareness to your thoughts and feelings.
Taking some time to reflect on how much of your energy is consumed by judgment,
Doubt,
Resentment or worry.
With your next inhalation,
Direct energy into your solar plexus.
And as you exhale,
Allow the light of clarity to radiate throughout your being,
Supporting you in releasing the limiting thoughts,
Emotions and beliefs that drain your energy and keep you from moving forward along your journey.
Next,
Reflect on your relationships,
Exploring whether these are a source of nourishment and vitality,
Or if they are consuming your precious energy with conflict,
Guilt or jealousy.
With your next inhalation,
Direct energy to the center of your being.
And as you exhale,
Allow the light of harmony to fill your being,
Supporting healthy relationships that are a source of healing and vitality.
Now reflect on your ability to use your life force energy wisely for awakening to your life's deeper purpose and meaning,
Reflecting on the ultimate purpose for your life journey.
With your next inhalation,
Direct energy into your solar plexus.
And as you exhale,
Allow light and vitality to illuminate your being,
With the knowing that the ultimate purpose of your journey is to recognize your life's deeper purpose and meaning.
Firm and steady conservation of energy,
Repeating the following three times aloud or silently.
As I conserve precious life force energy,
I naturally awaken to my life's deeper purpose and meaning.
As I conserve precious life force energy,
I naturally awaken to my life's deeper purpose and meaning.
As I conserve precious life force energy,
I naturally awaken to my life's deeper purpose and meaning.
Slowly release the gesture,
Taking several breaths to sense your balanced energy.
When you are ready,
Open your eyes,
Returning slowly and gently with a greater commitment to conscious conservation of energy.
