Samputa Mudra. You're putting your hands together and then your bottom knuckles open. But it stays closed up like there's a little treasure in there. This actually loosely translates as inner treasure. You can place it in front of your heart center and just try it, see how it feels. You might gaze down. If you're still playing with your toes, that's also fine.

What qualities within you, could you imagine are held within this hand position? Inside, only you can see. This inner treasure. Any aspect of you that holds this quality that you admire?

Compassionate, trusting, ability to rebound after a setback, assertive. I love how some of these are fiery, not all sweet and gentle. Ability to listen, trusting, intuitive, centered, loving, and collaborative.

Now the second mudra, hand position, we're going to start opening up just from three middle fingers. So they open up. You keep the pinky tips and the thumb tips together and the heels of your hands together.

And this opens up into a lotus shape, a Padma Mudra. You can imagine that expansion, that blooming happening as you start to step out into the world and allow your gifts to be shared. And that can take some courage. So anytime we can close it back up to the bud, and we can start to link this with breath, opening to Padma Mudra, the lotus, on the inhale, and closing up our inner treasure on the exhale.

So you get to titrate your readiness to put your gifts out into the world.

It might take some time of just focusing on those inner treasures that you know are there, and cultivating those. But don't wait too long, because the world needs you. Needs those gifts.
