Description Symbolism - Vitarka Mudra What does it mean - vitarka mudra? Mudra derives from the Sanskrit language and literally means a sign or seal. If you practice yoga, you may be familiar to it. Or have you noticed that different Buddha statues always have slightly different hand positions? In yoga and Hindu and Buddhist philosophy the word mudra is used when taking certain positions with your fingers, hands, head, or even your whole body. There has been a belief that certain positions create and carry energies and release chakras. Mudras can evoke the necessary states of mind and influence oneself on an emotional level, on a physical level through healing, and on a spiritual level through increasing energy supplies. Vitarka means in Sanskrit discussion and consideration, and mudra, as I already mentioned, a sign or stamp. Vitarka mudrais used in Buddhism. To do this, form a circle with your fingers, putting your index finger and thumb together. This mudrais most associated with the Buddha, as it implies the wisdom of the Buddha. It is most often used when conveying Buddha's teachings and is called the teaching or reasoning mudra. Buddhist symbols, images and figures are widely used feng shui. The Buddha represents the potential for true happiness and goodness that is inherent in every human being and all sensitive beings. Where to place a statue with such symbolism? This mudra helps accept teachings for self-development and spiritual awakening. Suitable to place in rooms with a lot of books or even a separate library, in rooms where you are studying or in a home office, or where there is an area of knowledge at home. Feng shui refers that the area related to self-development and knowledge remains to the left when entering the main door. Use instructions for oil burners Oil burners are ceramic mini-sculptures with a small cavity above it for storing the water or wax, and it is empty inside so that a small candle can be placed inside to heat the liquid. Oil burners are easy to use and practical. When using essential oils or essential oil blends add a little water to the cavity (maximum to the edge of the cavity) and then add 2-3 drops of favorable essential oil. Later, if you want a more intense aroma, you can also add 3-5 drops of oil. Place a burning candle under the water cavity and wait until a few minutes later for a pleasant aroma to fill the room. When using aroma wax melts, remove the packaging from the selected aroma wax and place it in the water container of the oil burner. Place a burning candle under the water cavity and burn the candle until all the aroma wax has melted and the room is filled with a pleasant aroma. If you want to use a different aroma wax in the meantime, but the old one is still left, place the aroma lamp in the freezer for a while and the wax will come off the oil burner itself. Caution! Before using the oil burner, make sure that there is enough water or wax in the container. Never burn an oil burner without water or wax, as the product may crack or break! Never leave the burning oil burner unattended! Keep it out of the reach of children and pets. If you want to read more about other aromatherapy options at home, take a look at HERE!
