The Kechari Mudra is an advanced yogic technique that involves tongue manipulation to stimulate specific energy centers in the body. In this mudra, practitioners roll the tongue backward and upward to touch the soft palate or roof of the mouth. Notably, the term “Kechari” comes from Sanskrit, where “Ke” means “void” or “sky,” and “chari” means “one who moves.” Together, Kechari signifies the ability to move in the void or transcendental realms.
Here’s a breakdown of the Kechari Mudra:
Location: First, the soft palate, also known as the velum, is the flexible part of the roof of the mouth toward the back. Situated behind the hard palate, it consists of muscle and connective tissue.
Purpose: The Kechari Mudra profoundly affects physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. By touching the soft palate with the tongue, you can activate specific energy channels and centers in the body, including the Sushumna Nadi (central energy channel) and Ajna Chakra (third eye). Consequently, this facilitates the upward flow of energy.
Connection: In yogic philosophy, the soft palate links with upper energy centers, particularly the Ajna Chakra or third eye, located between the eyebrows. By stimulating the soft palate, you aim to awaken and activate this spiritual center, leading to heightened awareness, intuition, and spiritual awakening.
Stimulation: To perform the Kechari Mudra, you must gradually train your tongue to lengthen and become flexible enough to reach the soft palate. This process involves regular practice and patience, as achieving the desired level of tongue mobility takes time. Additionally, some practitioners use gentle pressure or massage techniques to stimulate the soft palate and enhance the mudra’s effects.

It’s important to note that the Kechari Mudra is considered an advanced yoga practice. Therefore, you should approach it with caution and seek guidance from an experienced teacher. While the mudra offers potential benefits for spiritual evolution and inner transformation, it requires dedication, discipline, and proper preparation to perform safely and effectively.
Overall, the Kechari Mudra represents a profound exploration of the body-mind connection and the potential for transcendence. By tapping into the subtle energies of the soft palate and beyond, you can access deeper states of consciousness, self-realization, and spiritual enlightenment.
