Why is it called Bhoochari Mudra?

The term Bhoochari Mudra is derived from two Sanskrit words: "Bhoo", meaning ground or earth, and "Chari", meaning to move or fly. Together, Bhoochari Mudra signifies the movement of awareness beyond the physical ground, symbolizing elevated consciousness during meditation.

How to Perform Bhoochari Mudra

  1. Sit comfortably on the floor, yoga mat, or chair according to your comfort.

  2. Adopt any comfortable meditative posture (Dhyanatmakasana) such as Padmasana, Sukhasana, or a simple seated pose.

  3. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Allow the breath to become slow, deep, and natural.

  4. Raise the right hand in front of the face with the palm facing downward.

  5. Gently bring the thumb close to the upper lip.

  6. Open your eyes softly and focus your gaze on the little finger.

  7. Maintain steady concentration on the hand while staying relaxed.

  8. Continue to breathe deeply and calmly, observing the subtle sensations, vibrations, and flow of energy.

  9. Practice Bhoochari Mudra for a few minutes daily or as part of your meditation routine.
