Principles of Mudras

Shoonya Mudra

Just like the universe the physical body is made of five elements namely air, water, fire, earth and akash (ether). These five elements are known as 'Panchabhoothas.' Our thumb and the four fingers of our hands represent the five elements. The imbalances of these elements in our body disrupts the immunity system of the body which later results in diseases.
 The five elements in our body can be balanced to the required level through performing Mudras. When a finger representing an element is brought into contact of the thumb, that particular element happens to be balanced in the body and cures the disease that can be caused by the imbalance.

Vyan Mudra

Thumb represents fire, index finger air, middle finger ether, ring finger earth and little finger water. Mudras ignite electromagnetic currents within the body which balances the elements and restore health.

Importance of Mudras

Agni Mudra

Mudras play a great role to maintain good physical health and to provide peace of mind. Mudras along with breathing exercises enliven the flow of 'Prana' in the body by stimulating different parts of the body involved with breathing. Relating directly to nerves, Mudras create a subtle connection with the instinctual patterns in the brain and influence the unconscious reflexes in these areas. It helps to balance the internal energy within the body. This affects the change in the sensory organs, glands, veins and tendons which adds a new dimension to the yoga experience. By practising Mudras you can stay in perfect health physically, mentally and spiritually. Mudra therapy is an effective way of non medical and holistic healing.
