Finding Mental Balance With Quan Yin

Kuan Yin Peace of Mind
Mental balance is crucial to our wellbeing and how we function in our daily living because the mind is where everything begins. Our attitude towards ourselves determines our attitude towards the world around us, which determines how well we function and interact with others and the earth.

Through the practice of mudras with Quan Yin the mind can be trained to relax and become focused. Mudras broaden the mental faculties; there is a connection between holding a mudra (hand posture) and breathing while placing your attention on Quan Yin.

We were not born to suffer, become ill and die. We are here to learn to live by spiritual truths that govern all life, however to do so requires a keen intellect and strong will, a product of a healthy mind.

As long as one is out of mental balance, there will be worries, sorrows, anxiety, fear and anger. Practicing mudras with Quan Yin can act as purification for our mind and body so we can live in fulfillment of our life’s purpose.

By taking 5 to 10 minutes in the morning and evening on a daily basis to practice the “Mental Balance” mudra with Quan Yin, we can achieve peace of mind and happiness, which is essential for mental and physical health.

To practice the “Mind Balance” mudra, find a quiet place where you can sit comfortably and close your eyes, breathe slowly and deeply in through your nose simultaneously, filling your belly and chest. Exhaling slowly through your mouth empting your chest and belly at the same time. Place your hands at solar plexus level in front of you and interlace your fingers, palms are facing up, fingers are pointing up and your thumbs are comfortably straight. Close your eyes and focus on Quan Yin’s name and continue to breathe.
