Ganesha, the Hindu elephant god, is the remover of obstacles. He has the strength and power of an elephant, but spreads a message of peace and tranquillity. He’s also the god of new beginnings. We can imagine his form and draw in the qualities of strength, calm and courage.
The ganesha mudra “stimulates heart activity, strengthens heart muscles, opens the bronchial tubes and releases any type of tension in this area. It opens the fourth chakra and gives us courage, confidence and openness toward other human beings” – Mudras, Yoga in your Hands by Gertrud Hirschi
