Buddha Statues to Inspire Growth, Hope, and Inner Peace
Buddha Statues to Inspire Growth, Hope, and Inner Peace
 So much more than just a decoration – Buddha statues represent the life and teachings of Gautama Buddha, serving as useful reminders to apply those teachings in everyday life. Each one imparts a different message depending on the posture and the mudras (hand gestures) displayed. In this way, even the most minimalistic statue can be filled with boundless meaning.

Hanumanasana is an advanced seated asana that requires lots of flexibility in the hips, groin and legs -- particularly the hamstrings and quadriceps. The name comes from the name of the Hindu monkey god, Hanuman; and asana, meaning “pose.” This asana is named as such because it represents the leap Hanuman made from the southern tip of India, as described in the epic poem, "Ramayana."
In the fullest expression of this asana, the legs are in a full split position, with one leg extended in front of the torso and the other behind the torso. The hands and arms may be placed on the ground on either side of the body, in prayer position (anjali mudra) or stretched to the sky.
Hanumanasana is also known in English as monkey pose, seated splits or splits. . 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 & 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬: Website: https://aatmyogashala.com/ Call OR WhatsApp: +91-8445993766 E-mail: [email protected]

hands. hands. "playing with each other’s fingers." cause violence.
(~800 words of totally-innocent Alchemy/Esoterica and Chill with Three idiots, at least two of whom have a Thing about hands lmaooo)
Tumblr media
Routines form like pearls. They accumulate layers, a bit at a time, almost unnoticed.
The wisdom of walking through South End after midnight, moderately inebriated and entirely absorbed in a discussion about esoterica, would be more debatable if the folk of that section of Vesuvia had less of a sense of self-preservation. The frequent presence of a large sand lynx, a bird of prey, a corvid, and - somewhat bafflingly - a large rhinoceros beetle only adds to the spectacle.
It is not unusual for one of these discussions to begin at the Raven, then migrate to one of their residences to be continued over tea, more alcohol, or both. With each of them having been trained to magic in entirely different, sometimes-conflicting ways, the subject provides an endless source of cross-pollination and debate.
Tonight, they have converged on Vissenta’s little flat, seated among the various cushions on the floor. Periodically, some small item replaces itself, or lifts itself slightly into the air as a rag runs beneath it, wiping away dust - Jinana’s Unseen Servant spell. Conjured earlier to serve them tea, it now unobtrusively goes about the flat, performing menial tasks.
For the moment, Jinana and Alexander have fallen into an intense discussion as to the symbolism and correspondences of the hands and fingers, while Vissenta watches in bemusement and Anjali snores away on the untidy bed in the corner. Etienne dozes on his accustomed perch, and Lughnasa stalks the low table, occasionally eyeing some bauble or Jinana's flashing rings.
“Now, in the system I learned in Prakra, this finger corresponds with the energy of Pacification, white in color, element Water.” Jinana lifts Vissenta’s left hand, running hir own fingertip along the back of the index finger. "This energy transforms anger into the mirror-like wisdom.”
Alexander frowns slightly, taking up Vissenta’s right hand and lifting the index finger. “The element is actually the same in alchemy, though it also corresponds to blue vitriol… and the symbol of the hexagram, the Union of Opposites.”
Jinana raises hir brows. “Does it? That’s very interesting.” S/he brings Vis’s thumb and index finger together in a circle, the other fingers relaxed. “This is jñāna mudra - yes, it is the same word.” S/he smiles. “The thumb represents the element of Air, as well as Brahman, the Supreme Consciousness. This mudra brings it together with the Atman, the individual soul. The two fundamental realities become one, representing the truest wisdom.” 
“As above, so below,” Alexander murmurs. 
“Precisely.” Hir fingertips lightly describe the energy flow through the hand, and the tiny hairs on Vissenta’s wrist and forearm begin to rise up. “It also represents the union of the masculine and feminine properties, of course.”
A bit of color has already come into Alexander’s cheeks, from drink and from intensity of discussion; an additional pinkness suddenly blooms there, piquing hir curiosity. “Of course,” he says, then hurriedly moves on to lift the middle finger of Vissenta’s right hand. “What of this one? In alchemy, it is associated with the element of Earth, the symbol of the Sun, and sal ammoniac.”
Jinana relaxes Vis’ left hand, tracing the meridian of the middle finger. “This one is associated with the energy of increasing, especially of compassion. It is also element Earth, yellow in color.”
He nods, then moves on to the ring finger. “Element of Fire, symbol of the illuminating lantern, associated with alum.”
“The energy of control, also element Fire, red in color. It represents the subjugation of blind, devouring passion into discriminating awareness.” Vissenta’s cheeks, too, have been steadily gathering color throughout this process, a fire of their own, which increases ever so slightly.
Alexander swallows, then moves on to the smallest finger, lifting it by hooking his own pinky beneath. “And, um, this one is the element of Air, representing common chemical salts, and, er… the principle of the Lock and the Key.” 
“Fascinating,” Jinana purrs, taking Vis’s hand entirely into hir own and running hir fingers down the pinky. “Here it differs again - forceful energy, blue in color, element Space. Ignorance is transformed into the all-pervading awareness.” Both of the others are looking at hir now, wide-eyed and flushed-faced, as s/he lifts Vissenta’s hand to place a seemingly thoughtless little kiss to the hennaed peacock feather on its back. “Thank you for allowing me to demonstrate, madhu.”
Alexander seems to only now realize that he is still holding Vissenta’s other hand, abruptly releasing it as if it might burn him.
It is too late for his face, already burning bright.
Jinana laughs lightly, easily. “And thank you, Alexander, for a very instructive conversation.” A gesture summons the invisible force from its tidying, bearing the teapot away for refilling. Jinana’s voice could not be more casual as s/he asks, “Would you care for some more tea?”

This is a smoking pipe from Burma or possibly Thailand. The theme, a human figure with hands in Anjali mudra, is Indic religion (Hinduism or Buddhism) influenced.

The Sun and the Ganga
The King of the Nishadas, innocent and impulsive Guha has only heard of the handsome and noble crown prince of Ayodhya. Ruling for so long in his simple fisherman village on the outskirts of the big kingdom, the river Ganga flowing beside his Shringiberapura, Guha could not even dream of seeing that famous prince.
"Rajan..."
Guha looked up from his food at his attendant standing outside, and squinted upon noticing his eyes sparkling as if having seen something magical, incredible and out of the world. Guha wondered what he could have spotted that brought about such a revelatory look in his eyes.
"Three guests await your presence."
Guha nodded and stood up from his dinner, smiling at his wife, who beckoned him out to go welcome their three guests together.
Guha looked up into the evening sky, and smiled widely, as a group of birds flew in continuous circles above his settlement, crying out pure sounds of joy. The sun was still visible, his rays peeking out of the horizon and reflecting in miserly sprinkled out pearls in the water of the river Ganga. It seemed as if he was prolonging his sunset and staying up to gain sight of something before leaving for the night. Guha smiled at the river Ganga, who excitedly babbled and threw her waves up against the sand of the riverbank, flooding the boats which stood at the sides. He shook his head with confused wonder at what excited the nature around him so much at that time. An answer arrived to him as he looked up and saw the guests patiently waiting outside his little kingdom's arch of entry.
"Aryaputra?"
Guha shook his head and looked slowly at his wife, who beckoned again towards the guests, her smile wide and excited at the sight of the resplendent trio ahead. One as dark as the night, one as blushed as the rising sun of the morning, and one as golden as the sun in the afternoon. The dark one walked up to Guha and planted his hands together in a genuine Anjali Mudra.
"We apologise for interrupting your evening. We request your assistance in crossing this mighty river into the forests beyond it." He said, his slow and soft voice accompanied by a slow and soft smile.
The easy going Guha had never seen such a fellow in his life before. Standing tall and dark, shining as radiant as a sapphire, his body lit up by the sun's rays landing on him out of some keen desire to gain his contact in some way or the other. The sky darkened and the moon came out rapidly pushing the sun away, as the dark one looked up towards the sky, inspecting the petty fight of the sun and the moon. He smiled as the moon spread his rays out and sparkled into the dark one's dark eyes. Guha grinned widely. Was it the moon who sparkled into those dark eyes, or were the eyes the provider for the moon's sparkling splendour that night?
"I would be honoured to help you. Please stay for the night, however."
The dark one nodded and turning to the pink one and the golden one, beckoned them inside.
"It would be befitting to introduce us at this point," He said, looking at the pink one who sauntered gracefully towards his side, "I am Rama, this is my wife Janaki, and that is my brother Lakshmana."
Guha glanced at the other two while his nerves worked their way in finding out where he had heard those names before.
"Rama?"
"Hm."
"The p-prince of Ayodhya?"
Rama smiled and nodded.
"Yes. My brother and I are the princes of Ayodhya," His smile twitched at its side, as he looked towards Janaki through the sides of his eyes, "And this is the princess of Mithila."
Janaki rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"We all belong to the forest now." She said in a sweet voice which melted Guha's heart, as he frowned and scoffed indignantly. The trio laughed at his reaction and he shook his head.
"Why is that so?" He scanned their outfits, simplistic and fit only for the forest, garlands and earrings of flowers adorning Janaki's soft hands which deserved diamond necklaces and golden bangles, while the brothers had their long, luscious locks decorated by beads instead of by a princely crown. Guha shook his head as his eyes teared up.
"Why these plain outfits of the forest? If you were to visit us, couldn't you have come with your glorious army, bedecked in all the silks and gems that belong to your pompous city?" Rama's smile softened as Guha asked his final question with the break of his voice.
"Why must you come to me in this lone state?"

Virabhadrasana I (Warrior I Pose): A Powerful Posture Rooted in Indian Yoga Tradition
In the realm of yoga, Virabhadrasana I, also known as Warrior I Pose, stands as a quintessential representation of strength, stability, and unwavering focus. Named after Virabhadra, a fierce warrior in Hindu mythology, this standing asana embodies the essence of a warrior's unwavering spirit.
A Legacy of Strength and Balance
Virabhadrasana I is a fundamental posture in many yoga styles, particularly in Hatha yoga, a traditional form that emphasizes physical and mental discipline. Its origins can be traced back to ancient India, where it has been practiced for centuries to cultivate physical strength, mental clarity, and emotional resilience.
Benefits of Embracing the Warrior Within
The practice of Virabhadrasana I offers a multitude of benefits that extend far beyond the physical realm. As you gracefully transition into this pose, you embark on a journey of self-discovery, unlocking a reservoir of inner strength and resilience.
Physical Benefits:
Enhances Strength and Flexibility: Virabhadrasana I effectively strengthens the legs, hips, and core muscles, while simultaneously stretching the hamstrings, calves, shoulders, and spine.
Improves Balance and Coordination: The pose challenges your balance and coordination, enhancing your ability to maintain stability amidst dynamic movements.
Promotes Groundedness and Stability: The deep engagement of the legs and core muscles fosters a sense of groundedness and stability, both physically and mentally.
Mental and Emotional Benefits:
Cultivates Focus and Concentration: The pose demands unwavering focus and concentration, training your mind to remain present amidst physical exertion.
Alleviates Stress and Anxiety: The rhythmic flow of movement and deep breathing promotes relaxation, effectively reducing stress and anxiety.
Boosts Energy and Vitality: The energizing nature of the pose invigorates the body, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized.
Stepping into the Posture: A Step-by-Step Guide
To embrace the Warrior I Pose, follow these steps:
Establish a Strong Foundation: Begin in Tadasana (Mountain Pose), ensuring proper alignment of the feet, hips, and spine.
Embrace the Warrior Stance: Step your left foot back about 3-4 feet, turning your left toes out to a 45-degree angle while keeping your right toes pointing forward.
Bend and Conquer: Bend your right knee until it is directly over your right ankle, ensuring your thigh is parallel to the floor.
Reach for the Skies: Extend your arms overhead, aligning your palms facing each other. Maintain a straight line from fingertips to shoulders.
Draw Strength from Within: Engage your core muscles, drawing your navel towards your spine and maintaining a straight back.
Focus and Breathe: Gaze up at your fingertips or towards the front of the room. Maintain steady, rhythmic breathing throughout the pose.
Hold and Release: Hold the pose for 5-10 breaths, then switch sides, repeating the sequence on the other leg.
Modifications for Optimal Comfort and Safety
Virabhadrasana I is adaptable to suit various levels of flexibility and experience. Consider these modifications for a more comfortable and safe practice:
Reduce Knee Bend: Bend your front knee less deeply if you experience tightness in the hamstrings.
Seek Support: Place a block under the front heel to provide additional support and reduce strain on the ankle.
Alternate Arm Placement: Keep your arms at your sides or bring them into Anjali Mudra (Prayer Position) at your chest if overhead extensions feel uncomfortable.
Contraindications for a Safe Practice
While Virabhadrasana I generally poses no risk for most individuals, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or yoga instructor if you have any of the following conditions:
High blood pressure
Heart disease
Osteoarthritis of the hips or knees
Recent surgery or injury to the legs or hips
Embrace the Warrior Spirit
Virabhadrasana I invites you to embody the spirit of a warrior, harnessing inner strength, unwavering focus, and unwavering determination. As you practice this pose, you not only strengthen your physical body but also cultivate resilience, mental clarity, and a sense of unwavering self-belief.

Understanding the Significance of 🙌 Meaning: The Two Hands Emoji Explained - Impeccable Nest
In Hinduism, the raised hands gesture is known as “anjali mudra,” which is used in various spiritual practices, including meditation, yoga, and worship. The gesture involves bringing both hands together and placing them at the heart center, signifying the union of the individual self with the divine. While the raised hands emoji has traditionally been associated with religious contexts, its usage has evolved to include secular contexts as well. In recent years, social media users have embraced the emoji as a way to express excitement, celebration, and gratitude. This usage has become particularly popular on platforms like Twitter and Instagram, where users employ the emoji when posting affirmations, expressing support, or offering congratulations. However, some people of faith prefer using the 🙏 emoji instead of the 🙌 icon when communicating online, reserving the latter for religious use.
