Mudras are hand shapes that can be done while seated or lying down. They help direct energy in the body. Mudras will help you feel more relaxed. They can be held while doing some deep breathing for as long as feels good to you. It could be as short as 5 breaths or as long as 5 minutes or even longer if you want.
If you or your child continues to experience anxiety or stress, it is important that you call and speak with your healthcare provider. If you feel you or your child is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
