New Moon blessing with healing hands

Updated: Sep 30, 2023

Tershula Kriya: Thunderbolt of Shiva Meditation


This meditation balances the nervous system. It can help in self-healing and also be used to heal at a distance through your touch and projection. It will generate heat in the body so best done in a cooler room.


Healing hands mudra of Tershula Kriya ,'the thunderbolt of Shiva'.

A gift that keeps on giving


'Tershula' is the three-pronged trident of Shiva, one of the Hindu Trinity of Gods (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva). Shiva is the destroyer or regenerator, the ultimate deliverer.


This meditation activates the 'thunderbolt of Shiva'. It balances the three Gunas (sattva, rajas, tamas), the energetic qualities that permeate all creation. It also harmonises the 3 mental bodies, the Negative Mind, Positive Mind and Neutral Mind.


Practised on the New Moon, the energies are multiplied. It's a powerful time for new beginnings, planting new seeds and putting new cycles into motion.


Through breath awareness, mudra, visualisation and mantra, you don’t have to find anything outside of you. The jewels are all in you. Shine your light.

  • Sit in a comfortable position, if on a chair keep feet firmly on the ground

  • Lengthen through front body with chin slightly towards chest

  • Keep eyes closed

  • Find a soft gaze towards the back of the eyelids

Mudra

  • Relax your elbows at your ribs

  • Extend your forearms in front of you, palms facing up

  • With your palms open, fingers together and thumbs extended, place your right hand on top of the left making an ‘X’

  • No bend at the wrists

  • Forearms and hands tilt towards the heart, an inch or two higher than your elbows

Mantra


Har Har Wa-he Gu-ru


Meaning the seed of creation that guides us from darkness to light.


Breath and visualisation

  • Inhale through the nose and suspend the breath, slightly pulling in the navel

  • Mentally vibrate the mantra and visualise a white light surrounding your hands

  • Exhale through the nose, hold the breath out and pull the Root lock

  • Mentally vibrate the mantra and visualise light shooting from your fingertips

Repeat this cycle of inhale and exhale.



Start with 11 minutes.


To finish, inhale and hold the breath briefly, then relax.
