Venus Kriyas are powerful yogic techniques for partners that utilize the male and female polarities that exist in all of us.
Practice of Venus Kriyas can help to establish balance in a relationship, allow you the opportunity to connect with and support one another’s higher self, and develop the experience of Oneness between the two of you. The focus stays at the heart, projecting love and caring, with the highest good for both partners.
Before you begin, follow the guidelines on How to Practice Venus Kriyas.
Hands in Lotus Mudra
Sit in easy pose across from your partner, looking into their eyes. Form your hands into a lotus—all the fingers are spread with the hands cupped and only your little fingers and the sides of your palms touch. The partner embodying the male polarity suspends their little fingers under the little fingers of the female-embodying partner, but the fingers of the partners DO NOT touch. This makes a heart lotus. Through the eyes, look into the soul, the heart of your partner.

Continue for 1.5 – 3 minutes with normal breathing.
Hands Over Heart Center
Now place one hand over the other at the Heart Center, right hand over left. Close your eyes and meditate on the Heart Center. Go deeply within to the center of your being.
