HEALING SCIENCE OF MUDRA - HAND POSTURES

August 22, 2004

Motto :- everybody needs good mental &

physical health for enjoying life

origin

The ancient yogic text of india, the

" gheranda-samhita, " describes some of these mudras or different thumb

& fingers postures.. As per my knowledge yoga asans were created later. These mudras were

mainly discovered & perfected by ancient yogis for physical & mental

& spiritual well-being . They are part of the yogic system though less

welknown due to their simplicity. These are not normally taught in yoga classes

as you do not need any training and once you see the photo and description you

can do it yourself without any extra training. They can be taken as yoga

movements involving only the arms & hand.

The whole yoga exercises are for `nadi

shodhan which means cleansing the nervous system which is carrying energies and

also has blockages which result in energy starvation & disease to

particular part of body, mind. The human beings have about 4000 nerve endings

at the tips & other parts of our fingers. These are connected with organs

and can influence them, relax, stimulate or balance them, depending on the

mudra which you do as per your desired needs.

Mudras talk to brain & body

through nervous system

[JV1]

Mudras in yoga are symbolic of mantras and send signals to the indocrine glands and to a specific

part of the brain depending on the purpose of the mudra. They are a gesture or position,

usually of the hands, that locks and guides energy flow and reflexes to the

brain. They effect harmone secretion and

metabolism. By curling, crossing, stretching and touching the

fingers & thumb and hands, we can " talk " to the body and mind

& brain as each area of the hand corresponds to a certain part of the mind

or body & brain. They are like sacred

geometry opening up the healing

from the universe. If you do any prayer or mantra during this, your

concentration & meditation will improve and more spiritual progress is

possible.

Each finger has its very own functions and

power. If you know how to use this power, you can maintain your physical health

and mental peace. The ends of the nerve paths of the hands, occupy a

particularly large area in the brain. The hand mode acts as a neurological

filter or focus point for the body. The

different permutations & combinations are for focusing the energy to the

required place & send it with force to clean the blockages & balancing

the system. It is like having a dialogue with the body. They also effect planetary rays absorption as

the finger tips are antenna for planetary

rays. So many of these are regulated thereby effecting 5 elements.

It is the difference between asking a general question and asking a specific

one. This is a great tool for getting to

deeper layers of distortion and imbalance in the body & mind.

With this technique, one could know from the effect of the disease as to which

element or elements are asking for correction. The hands reveal a lot by

pointing to the disease. Surprisingly they have the solution if you want to

avoid doctors.

Mudras and the

five elements

Mudras are tatva ( element ) yoga. According

to indian understanding the physical body is made up of five elements namely –

fire, air, earth ,water and aakash (ether - the tiny intercellular spaces in

the human body). from the thumb to

the little finger , each finger

represents fire, air, ether,

earth and water, respectively. The

entire universe lies within your ten fingers and it is also said that there is

an infinite number of mudras even though we only have 10 fingers. We have

additionally 24 finger parts and 4 parts of thumb. This again comes to 28 which

is the time moon takes for one round of earth and it influences the human mind

a lot. Then there are finger and thumb ends in a padded form as a junction. The

permutation & combination of these

effect the particular set of nerves which connect to a particular part

or organ of body.and emotions. Some of the mudras have been

used for meditation and

concentration and stopping distraction of mind. I am presently sharing those on

physical & mental well being ..

The thumb represents the element fire, the stomach

and worry.

The index finger represents the element air,

the lungs, the large intestine and the emotions depression, sadness and grief.

The middle finger is the element ether, the

heart, small intestine, circulatory and respiratory systems, the emotions are impatience and

hastiness.

The ring finger is the element earth and is

connected to the liver, gall bladder, nervous system and corresponds to anger.

The little finger corresponds to water, the

kidneys and fear.

Maintaining

the balance

When the delicate balance between the

elements as planned by the creator are maintained, all the functions in the

body & mind are supposed to be working properly. The elements are

interwoven and interconnected. The imbalance of these elements disrupts immunity

system and causes disease. Indian healing practitioners already

discovered long ago that too much or too little of an element (earth, water,

air, fire, and ether) causes the body to become imbalanced or even seriously

ill. We can restore the harmony within us through the corresponding

corrections. Just as every element can have a positive influence on us, it can

also destroy us. The individual elements naturally influence each other. Every

element has special needs that can be easily satisfied in a balanced and calm

dynamic state. Like excess of air element disturbs mind and peace and clarity.

Excess of water element causes cough & cold.

Deficiencies in any of these elements can be made up by connecting one

part of the body with another in a particular manner through mudras. When a finger representing an element is brought into

contact with the thumb, that element is brought into balance. Therefore the

disease caused by the imbalance is cured. Mudras start electromagnetic currents

within the body which balance

various constituting elements and restore health. Where necessary, harmone

secretion is controlled.

If you are reiki 2 you can draw the power

symbol and the mental / emotional symbol over your hands (and master symbol if

you prefer). It will improve the results by redirecting reiki to the particular

point. Because of cleansing of nervous system, more flow & intensity of reiki power can be experienced.

How to use

mudras

to use a

mudra, keep it for at least a couple of minutes. It is usually more effective

to do them a while longer, like 15 minutes and up to 45 mts or so. You might

spread that time over the day, You can do them one after the another as per

your need. More time quicker

results.

The main

requirement is straight arms & spine. Except for one particular mudra, you can do them

sitting on a chair or lying down on bed or standing. Sit with your back

straight, either on a straight backed chair or on the floor with legs crossed .

Put your fingers together as described in the particular mudra . palms preferably open to sky to receive

cosmic energy. In each mudra, exert enough pressure to feel the flow of energy

but not enough to whiten fingertips. In case some feel less results, the only

correction needed is to increase pressure slightly. Joining positions are more

important. If for any reason other fingers do not straighten, you can

compromise.

Hold the finger-positions with both hands, at

the same time. But if you are doing any activity, can do with one hand also.

This will still give some benefits. At least one hand can continue to talk to

brain or nervous system. The best thing is

that it will not harm anyway. System acts as a thermostat. Once a disease is

cured and you continue to do the mudra, nothing will happen once the

equilibrium is reached.

Do it anywhere

– anytime

The best is to put

attention ( consciousness ) to your problem and visualize that with exhaling

all problems are going out. The pressure & contact of fingers need to be

maintained constantly.

Some mudras are simple enough so that you can

even do them with your hands in your pockets you can do these anywhere when you

feel you need them, without attracting attention.

Do them while walking, talking to friends,

watching Tv, travelling, praying,

relaxing, almost any where.

No cost , no

limitations, no training, no

religious dogmas and healing on physical, mental, emotional &

spiritual planes of existence.,

whenever & wherever you need it

Mudras for

chronically ill & aged

Chronically ill & aged persons or cancer

patients may need more time but it will have positive effect. Mudras can bring

joy in the life of old & sick persons by reducing or eliminating their

pains & diseases. Then they may save on medical expenses and also feel less

of a burden to their family. Specific mudras work on heart, arthritis, back pain, asthama or bronchitis, joints

pains, lungs problems, strength & immunity increase, hearing etc could be helpful to them ..

I have prepared the

`do it self series`~ you don`t need any other training The beauty of this system of healing is

the ease in doing it Anybody can learn . You can

start with 2-3 mudras one after another or at different times. Problems are so

many and mudras are also there. After completing some, when you go to others,

you understand the specific benefits of those done. Besides normally 7-10 days

are enough for maximum results for one type of mudra except weight loss one

which takes more time. Thereafter you can do those mudras say once a week to

maintain benefits or continue if you feel the need for better results.

Health

[JV1] I have experimented with using topic headings like you see in

magazine articles. It may make it easier to scan for an overview of information

presented.
