How to Increase Creativity and Emotional Balance?

In a world filled with constant distractions and demands, finding a sanctuary for your mind and spirit is essential. At Niraamaya Retreats, we believe in holistic well-being that nurtures creativity and emotional balance. One of the most profound practices that can awaken your creative potential and harmonize your emotions is Dhyana Mudra, an ancient hand gesture steeped in meditation and tranquility.

What is Dhyana Mudra?

Dhyana Mudra, known as the meditation mudra, derives from Sanskrit where "Dhyana" signifies meditation. It is a symbolic hand gesture or "Hasta Mudra" that embodies concentration, calm, and introspection. While often associated with images of Buddha in serene meditation, its origins lie in the yogic traditions of Hindu philosophy.
