In Ganesha Mudra the left hand should be held in front of the chest with the palm facing outward. This Mudra should be done once a day and it helps to strengthen the heart muscles and open the bronchial tubes and release tension. It also opens the fourth chakra and boosts confidence in the practitioner.

• Bend the fingers and grab the left hand with the right hand with the palm facing inward, see that both the hands are clasped.
• Exhale and vigorously pull the hands apart without releasing the grip.
  
• The hands are in front of the chest, and this action will tense the muscles of the upper arm and the chest area.
• Inhale and let go of the tension. Repeat six times. Change the hand positions and again do the exercise six times.
• Remain in silence for a while after this.
• The exercise can also be done with one elbow pointing upwards and another pointing downwards.

Visualize the color red, a mosaic, a mandala, in various tones of red. Focus all of your senses on it for a while. Red should strengthen, warm, and widen your heart, giving you the courage to be open and confident.
