Calming Your Mind With Quan Yin

Kuan Yin on dragon
Taking time to calm your mind while you are awake can have powerful benefits such as: lowering stress levels and experiencing a more attentive mind. Anxiety, depression, anger and fatigue can subside thus improving your overall mood.

Not all stress is bad. Stress is a necessary and important element of daily living. Stress can prepare the body or mind in an instant for situations that require immediate strength and action. A little stress can improve concentration and job performance, but when stress continues throughout the day or longer it becomes chronic stress and suppresses the immune system causing rapid aging, making the body retain excess fat, dulling thinking, increasing pain and is the cause of more than 80% of illnesses today. Chronic stress is caused by fear and generally reduces the quality of life.

Calming your mind assists you to discipline your mind. You will begin to have more control of your thoughts and your mind will become clear.

Utilizing and regularly practicing Quan Yin’s “Calming Your Mind” mudra, is one of many techniques that can be used to calm your mind and begin experiencing quality life in your daily living.

The more you practice and become experienced with Quan Yin’s mudras, the more you will be able to answer questions you may have about your inner self (how to live your life with fulfillment). You will become congruent with your Higher Power, whatever that may mean or be for you.

To begin practicing the “Calming Your Mind” mudra with Quan, find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably and close your eyes, breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose filling your belly and chest at the same time, exhaling slowly through your mouth empting your chest and belly simultaneously. Bend your arms in front of you and bring them up to your chest level. Elbows are bent at a 90-degree angle with arms parallel to the ground. Your right hand is on top of your left arm and the left hand is under the right arm. Palms are facing the ground and all fingers are held together and straight. Hold and keep your arms from sinking for approximately 3 minutes, then relax and be still for about 7 or more minutes. Repeat as often as necessary.
