All of these mudras are beneficial for good health; considered as the essentials for the advanced mudras that comes in the second group which refine and direct the prana energy in the body in the more precise way. The mudras, which come in the second group are advanced in nature and used for specific objectives or for advance practising of yoga.

Heart chakra 

 Heart chakra embodies divine virtues such as love, brotherhood, peace and harmony; which differentiates us from animals. The six chakras are the six subtle sub-centres of psychic energy, and as all of the six centres are positioned in the Sushumna Nadi. The Heart Chakra is known as Anahata chakra also, which has twelve Nadis, and the element of nature is Vayu (Air). The heart chakra is the fourth chakra from the root chakra and is positioned in the heart chakra inside Sushumna Nadi; which is connected to the spinal column. The heart chakra has Banga Linga; Anahata sound is heard in this centre; after doing Sirs asana or in deep meditation aspirant can hear Om sound.



The Heart chakra embeds the five senses (taste, smell, hear, sight and touch), and, need to be balanced for the advanced spiritual journey and compassion and love. The Heart chakra manifests infinite love and divine virtues, and aspirant gets easily divine virtues, when they meditate or focusing on this chakra with employing full devotion, and put more consistent efforts in the heart chakra can give more cosmic energy to aspirant with compassion and unconditioned love; as it has control over the heart, and it balances lower chakras and upper chakras. It corresponds to the Cardiac Plexus in the physical body and holding the small inbox within (information regarding past and future being recorded here) of the soul; whereas the Solar plexus is known as the big inbox of all records. The heart chakra is the centre of seven chakras (or bridge among them) as three positioned below and three chakras positioned above in the Sushumna Nadi. Chakras below the heart chakra represent the materialistic life, while above the heart chakra it represents the spiritual journey; the aspirant sees himself in the heart of all beings and all beings in his heart.

(Heart chakra) and Holding the breath in kumbhaka pranayama for some time.





Benefits

Anahata chakra is the place of the air element, and the practitioner perceives the virtues of this chakra easily. 

The practitioner endeavours to develop a decisive intensive feeling of intimacy towards the characteristic of divine virtues, and whose appearance is to feel brings us close to the supreme source of divinity. Dormant virtues spring and eventually blossom into a magnificent tree of embellishing powers. The essential modes of experiments in spirituality are adopting of virtues that transform an average moral power into an earnest human-being.

Meditation helps to calm the mind within a few minutes of practising; because the cycle of breath links you to the rhythms of creation within you, and with the cosmic prana energy. 

Meditation keeps the brain more alive and provides harmonious mood, and keeping enhances the pituitary glands and pineal glands; melatonin is a hormone produced in the pineal gland, and improving dopamine efficiency, and keeps well amygdala.



Pituitary gland

Wisdom, intellect, enthusiasm, sentiments, self-esteem, self-efficacy, sex are all controlled by this gland. The pituitary gland regulates the growth of the body; and while dwarfism and exceptional height are the results of its malfunctioning.


Most of the investigations, in neuroscience at present aimed at medical treatment of the physical and mental abnormalities that results in the imbalance in the harmonious functioning of the brain.
