Buddha gestures in your home or office decor : Understanding Mudras

5 Budha hand gestures and their placement in your Space

Living in South east Asia makes you collect several Budha Sculptures and since we have them why not know some thing more about them.

Are you curious about the meaning of specific Buddha hand gestures?  

Here goes the explanation !

Abhaya Mudra

One of the most popular Buddha hand gestures called Abhaya Mudra, 
the energy of No Fear.

Abhaya is translated from Sanskrit word as fearlessness

The Abhaya mudra is made with the open palm of the right hand extending outwards at the chest level or slightly higher. If you observe this Buddha hand gesture, or mudra, you will also feel the energy of protection, peace and a sense of strong, deep inner security. 

Best to be placed in living room or the reception area of office.
                                   
                                            



Dhyana Mudra

Dhyana, or Samadhi mudra, is the hand gesture that promotes the energy of meditation, deep contemplation and unity with higher energy. 

The circling of energy created by the triangle (formed when the thumbs of the two hands touch) also promotes a cleansing of any impurities on an etheric level. Just by looking at this Buddha hand gesture (let alone practicing it!) one can connect to the energy of deep peace and serenity. 
Best to be placed in Meditation room, your altar.



Namaskara Mudra

 Namaskara, or Anjali mudra, is the hand gesture that evokes greeting another being with the utmost respect and adoration for the Divine in all. As you can see, the greeting is expressed in a form of prayer coming from one's heart or the third eye. 

The Namaskara Mudra can be expressed with palms at the heart level or at the forehead. Why? Because only with the heart, or with a deeper spiritual insight (third eye) can one truly see that we are all expressions of the same light

Best to be placed at main entry of home or office.


Vajrapradama Mudra

 Typically translated as the Mudra of Unshakable Self Confidence an unshakable self esteem usually understand as self confidence. The first words that come to mind when looking at this beautiful Buddha gesture are:
 "I come with peace because I am peace". 

It emanates a glowing river of the most beautiful golden energy - soft, kind, radiant, very healing, ever-lasting. Gesture of confidence in the Self, the real Self that is one with Divine energy. 

When this confidence is there, the Heart becomes the strongest communicator. This is what this Buddha mudra evokes - strength and confidence in the Heart Self. 

Best to be placed in center of home or office.

 Vitarka Mudra
 Vitarka mudra is interpreted as the hand gesture that evokes the energy of teaching and intellectual discussion, or argument. It mostly feels like the transmission of a particular teaching with no words, and the circle formed by the thumb and index finger creates a constant flow of energy/information. 

Close to Abhaya Mudra, the energy created by this hand gesture allows for a transmission of knowledge in a protected way, without being impeded by fear. 

Best to be placed in Kid's bedroom.
