Do small issues trigger sudden anger? Gyan Mudra helps bring mental calm

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): Work pressure, family responsibilities, lack of sleep, and increasing dependence on mobile screens are steadily increasing anger-related behavior. Many people find it difficult to control their anger despite trying, and its impact is clearly visible on relationships, professional life, and overall health. In such situations, along with yoga and meditation, certain hand gestures, known as mudras, can play an important role in calming the mind.

One such effective practice is Gyan Mudra, which is considered highly beneficial for reducing anger and mental imbalance. According to the Ministry of AYUSH, anger often increases when the brain and nervous system come under excessive stress. Negative thoughts begin to dominate the mind, and a person starts reacting impulsively to situations. Regular practice of Gyan Mudra helps stabilize the mind and improves clarity of thinking. Sitting in Gyan Mudra daily and focusing on breathing gradually brings mental calmness.

Practicing Gyan Mudra helps maintain energy balance in the body. When the thumb and index finger touch, it positively stimulates nerves connected to the brain. This is why the mudra is helpful in reducing mental restlessness, stress, and aggressive behavior. For people who get angry easily, Gyan Mudra is considered a natural and safe remedy. With regular practice, emotional control improves and the mind becomes more stable.

The benefits of Gyan Mudra are not limited to anger management alone. It also helps sharpen memory and keeps the brain active. Students, working professionals, and elderly people can all benefit from this mudra. It improves concentration, allowing a person to focus on tasks for longer periods. In addition, it reduces mental fatigue and provides relaxation to the brain.

Regular practice of Gyan Mudra also helps reduce stress and anxiety. Many people today suffer from poor sleep, headaches, and constant restlessness, often caused by mental stress. Gyan Mudra calms the mind, improves sleep quality, and is also believed to strengthen immunity, helping the body stay protected from illnesses.
