Ida Mudra is associated with stimulating intuition and enhancing inner awareness — which many relate to the “sixth sense.” This mudra is believed to activate the Ida Nadi, the lunar (left) energy channel in yogic tradition, which governs mental clarity, intuition, and calmness.

How Ida mudra may support the sixth sense?

• Activates the Ida Nadi: This channel is connected to the parasympathetic nervous system, fostering inner stillness, ideal for meditation and intuitive insight.
• Balances the mind: By calming mental chatter, it creates the mental space needed to perceive subtle energies or intuitive messages.
• Deepens awareness: When practiced regularly, it may sharpen the subconscious mind, which plays a role in what we commonly call the “sixth sense.”

How to practice Ida mudra?

1. Sit comfortably (cross-legged or on a chair).
2. Touch the tip of the thumb to the tip of the middle finger on both hands.
3. Bring both hands in front just below your heart level.
4. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and focus on your third eye (between the eyebrows).
5. Practice for 10–20 minutes daily, especially during meditation.

Tips:

To specifically activate intuition and sixth sense, combine Ida Mudra with:

• Slow breathing
• Meditation on the Ajna (third eye) chakra
