In Yoga, our sages have developed a number of Mudras to avoid various diseases and to mitigate their effects. These Mudras are made by manipulating the fingers of our hands. They have a wonderful effect on the body and mind. I am describing here “Apan Vayu Mudra”, which mitigates heart disease, and is highly effective even in case of a heart attack. The Mudra has to be made by both the hands. Its effect is magical in case of a heart attack; it works like a Sorbitrate tablet and serves better than even a powerful injection. It will not cause damage to the heart, and one can safely go to a hospital in this Mudra, without any panic.

The Apan Vayu Mudra is also called the Mrita Sanjeevani Mudra. It is a very powerful Mudra and in ancient India, it was considered to be a lifesaver in case of a heart attack.

•If done regularly for 45 minutes daily in three stretches of 15 minutes each in the morning, afternoon, and evening, it is helpful for many heart diseases. When air element increases in the body, it causes constriction of heart arteries; they become hard and narrow. Doing this Mudra will relieve arteriosclerosis’ of the heart, and thus strengthens the heart muscles and remove blockages in arteries.

• It is also highly effective in curing migraine. Migraine or headache is primarily due to weak digestion or excited nerves. As already mentioned, this Mudra quietens the nervous system and strengthens the digestive system therefore leaving no cause for migraine.
• By soothing the nervous system, it induces sleep and cures insomnia.
• According to Ayurveda, any imbalance in the three “doshas” – Vata, Pitta and Kapha causes diseases. Apan Vayu Mudra restores balance in these three ‘doshas’.
