Bhramari mudra, used for accessing higher ethereal dimensions, associated with the sound of bees, which makes it suitable for combining with the MMMMM sound on the breath out.

Yoni mudra, formed to symbolize the shape of a womb, is used for achieving a contained state of mind, as if sitting inside an egg.

>>4801 Kalesvara mudra, similar to Yoni mudra, with the difference that the middle finger is straight instead of the index finger, and the straight fingers are held upwards instead of down. This mudra is used to silence your thoughts, and to place the focus on the 3rd eye/pineal gland.

I've seen images of yogis when used as illustrations often have someone doing a pose with their heels raised off the ground in otherwise normal poses. It stuck on my mind because it sort of frictioned with my focus on calf mobility, and it looks like something from ballet. Whatever you contract, will become shorter when training muscles, so my reaction was that these ways of performing poses would either require a lot of stretching outside of the actual pose to compensate, or it will lead to tense/shorter calf muscles, which is contrary to what I want. In asia they squat a lot, and they "have to" because they don't have western toilets (not only talking about India here), so maybe that's why they get a natural stretch and won't become stiff from doing this, I thought. But in the past year I started practicing standing on toes for some exercises, since having an aversion to something without trying it, when it's something mostly harmless like a pose, just reinforces prejudices. I found that at least of the poses actually doesn't cause a contraction of the calves in terms of shortening, it's a matter how how you perform the pose, you can even squat with heels raised and still achieve a stretch on the calves depending on how you angle your knees. It should have been obvious, but I didn't realize this until I tried it. Same goes for other standing exercises. Also: performing them with heels slightly raised, increases the energy flow and the energy transformation greatly if being able to actually perform the pose correctly for other body parts. I also found that some stiffness and blockages were exposed when attempting this, which weren't noticeable before, or which caused tension in seemingly unrelated body parts which I couldn't trace the source of.
