September: Whatever Mudra

September's Fertility Yoga Pose of the Month:  Whatever! Mudra

A mudra is a symbolic gesture (usually of the hands) used in the practice of yoga to guide energy flow and shift brain activity. Okay, the Whatever! Mudra isn't traditional, but at the Moon we use it to help ourselves laugh at how crazy the process of trying to conceive can get...as we rush to take our shots, have sex at the right times, have one more ultrasound and ward off insensitive comments from our co-workers.  Try this mudra when you're at the point when you don't know whether to laugh or cry.

To do the Whatever! Mudra, extend the thumb and forefinger of both hands, folding the middle, ring and little fingers in to the palm.  Now, bring the tips of both thumbs to touch at the Third Eye (space between the eyebrows).  Take a deep breath in and with your exhale smile and say WHATEVER!!!!!!!
