Mudras is an ancient practice in India which is used for different purposes like healing, dance and devotion. Healing by mudras is primary based on ancient medical science of Ayurveda. Mudras also used saints and yogis in the ancient times to empower them spiritually, to maintain their mind and body balance and to be physically healthy.
Mudras are about hand-body, hand-fingers positioning. The human hand and its five fingers are representations of various things. The five fingers represent five elements namely fire, earth, water, wind and space. From yet another perspective the fingers also represent different emotions, various body systems, body parts or body organs. Fingers and Mounds on the hand represent planets and characteristics of an individualʼs personality. The hands and fingers, thus, are an important areas for receiving treatment in various ancient techniques such as Accupressure and Accupuncture.
There are various versions of fingerʼs representing a particular element or part of the body based on the healing technique like acupressure,accupunture or mudras. One must avoid confusion and should adhere to any particular version that they may want to choose. The beauty of this healing technique is that no matter how many different versions one may come across , the technique is still effective. This is because Mind plays a vital role in any healing process. The ʻMiraclesʼ do occur and You yourself are the creator of any miracle. To achieve these miracles , one has to go into his own private space, into his own energy system and consciousness. As you go into your SELF, you can feel the flood of healing energy flowing through your being. This will only happen when your mind is focussed on the final goal that you want to achieve. The clarity about your goal is the first step in achieving that goal and it is of immense importance that you must be very clear what you want to achieve. It is no doubt a long and a very subtle process and must be done with persistance and patience. All inner journeys are much more profound, more significant and certainly more lasting than anything external. You must have Faith when you work with soul and your persistance will pay. You yourself will create miraculous results.
Since there are numerous mudras, one must keep the notes ready and practice the relevant mudras as and when required. Certain mudras can be practiced as daily routine to keep mind and body healthy and spirits high. Body heals and maintains itself and it is in ʻYOUR HANDʼ!
