What is a Mudra?

To put it simply, a Mudra is a hand gesture (using our fingers and thumb) that guides the energy flow to specific areas of the brain. There are many types of Mudras designed to bring different benefits, depending on what we specifically need. By practicing Mudras, a connection is developed with the patterns in the brain that influences the unconscious reflexes in the different areas. The internal energy is, in turn, balanced and redirected, creating an impact on mind and body.

Our body is a mini world made of five elements, Fire, Air, Space, Earth and Water and when there is disturbance in these elements, it can lead to an imbalanced mind and cause our body to suffer from diseases.

Mudras are a boon to mankind. The ancient science of Mudras is one of the greatest and finest gifts to the world. This science imparts knowledge that leads to self discovery, while providing a means to balance and maintain health independently and maximize the joy of living.

The science of Mudras, a part of Yoga, is based on the fundamental principles of life, namely, the five elements as discussed above.

The Sages discovered that the whole creation is composed of the five elements mentioned above. They also deduced that the human structure is a miniature form of the universe and hence is also composed of the same five elements. Therefore they concluded that the secret of good health depends on the balance of the elements within the body and the imbalance in these five elements causes diseases of the body and mind.

The Mudras are comprehensive in nature. They create inner peace and strength; eliminate fatigue and anxiety; promote physical and emotional health; help relieve stress, depression and anger. They calm the mind, sharpen the intellect, and promote love, happiness, prosperity and longevity.
