Our body is a complex energy mechanism, closely connected with the energy of the Universe, Space, Earth and Solar System. On the hands and fingers of a person there are not only projections of internal organs, but also the main energy channels. Ancient healers oriental medicine argued that using the technique of symbolic hand gestures, making figures with your fingers, you can correctly direct energy and influence a person’s condition, his health and prosperity. This gymnastics for fingers and hands is called: mudras. Each finger of the hand corresponds to the energy of a certain part of the body:
Thumb correlates with will, logic, love and the “ego” of a person.
Index finger associated with knowledge, wisdom, lust for power and self-confidence.
Middle finger brings balance to life, as it is associated with patience and the ability to control feelings.
Ring finger responsible for health, activity and vitality.
Little finger correlates with a person’s creative abilities, the ability to see and appreciate beauty.

There are several varieties of concentration mudras in which the index, middle or ring fingers, connecting with the thumb, form a “window”.
The presented mudras determine concentration, calm, harmonization of metabolic processes, equanimity, and a feeling of overcoming a negative situation.

The mudra provides protection for the Anahata chakra. Mudra "Shield of Shambhala" has direct relation to the legendary ninja and is associated with the name of Bodhisattva Marichi - the patroness of warriors. According to legend, in China, Marichi personified the Goddess of Light; with her power she supported the Sun and Moon, thereby ensuring harmony and interaction of Yin-Yang. In Japan and China, they believed that the Goddess Marichi lived on one of the stars of the Big Dipper. According to legend, Marichi had supernatural power. Performing the “Shield of Shambhala” mudra gives the performer great strength and invulnerability.
Mudra of Fearlessness, or control of emotions
Legend says that one day the bearer of evil Devadanita set out to destroy the Buddha. To this end, he released a maddened elephant on him. When the elephant was already very close, Buddha raised his right hand and turned his palm towards the enraged animal. Five multi-colored rays flashed from the fingers of the Enlightened One, which instantly tamed the elephant, he immediately calmed down and followed the Buddha.
The mudra symbolizes the idea of defeating evil with the help of inner strength. Performing this mudra provides control over your emotions, stress relief, healing of the kidneys, and victory over fear.
Execution technique: the right hand is raised with the palm facing outward in front of the chest (removing gesture), the left hand is placed with the palm up at the level of the abdomen.
The canonical commentary on the mudra reads: “Fear is inherent not only in man, but in everything in nature. Birds, animals and people. The Sun, Moon and countless worlds are constantly afraid of attack or collision. Only in strong faith and following the Law can a righteous person achieve such a state, in which joy, pleasure, slander and pain will be transcended. This state is called "the world of a Buddha free from fear."
The emotion of fear, as we have already indicated in our previous works, is associated with the kidneys and with the problem of survival. Performing the Mudra of Fearlessness will relieve you of fear and normalize kidney function, allow you to control your emotions and “keep your heart in your chest.”
The performance of mudras should be done consciously, with a clear mental focus on the expected result. Only in this case, with the synthesis of thought and gesture, can a wonderful effect be obtained.
The complete system has 180 mudras. Each mudra determines, to one degree or another, the physiology of the human astral body, has certain centers of action of its forces and places of their polarization. Their properties change depending on atmospheric factors and the influence of planets.
For your practice, each of you has the right to choose the system that suits you best, not forgetting main principle: “Energy follows thought” and concentrating all attention on your “thinking hands”.
Let's consider a number of additional mudras, proven by experience and time, the use of which provides a long-term healing effect.
In the picture you see Gyan mudra, which is formed by connecting the tips of the thumb and index finger. This mudra increases the energy potential of the body, enhances metabolic processes, and improves blood circulation. Depending on the location and degree of connection of the index thumb, this potential increases. For example, the most active form of this mudra appears when the index finger is bent in such a way that its nail is under the second phalanx (joint) of the thumb.
Subsequent mudras are formed by alternately connecting the thumb with all the others, while increasing the strength of the mudra in the same way as described in Gyan Mudra.
Shuni mudra formed by the thumb and middle finger, with the tip of the middle finger placed on the tip of the thumb. Performing Shuni Mudra on physical level promotes harmonization of the liver, gallbladder with the pancreas and stomach. At the mental level, it ensures readiness to make a responsible decision and fulfillment of duty.
Ravi Mudra (Surya)- represents a combination of fingers in which the thumb is connected to the ring finger (the tip of the ring finger is placed on the tip of the thumb). Ravi mudra ensures harmony between the liver and gallbladder system with the lungs and large intestine. At the mental level - sadness, depression are eliminated, balance is restored nervous system, peace of mind.
Buddhi mudra- formed similarly to the previous ones with the little finger. Mercury is the buddhi energy associated with the North and the kidneys. Buddhi mudra strengthens the mentality, stabilizes the psyche, improves hematopoiesis, strengthens the Spirit, physical and spiritual immunity.
Another harmonizing mudra is called "Palace of Venus". It is formed as follows: the fingers of both hands are intertwined with each other, while the little finger of the left hand should be at the bottom.
The tip of the left thumb should be over the base of the right thumb (the area between the thumb and index finger) and apply pressure to it. As is already known, the thumb is the “head”, to which is adjacent a fleshy hill belonging to Venus.
The Palace of Venus mudra stimulates and balances the body's endocrine system. This mudra gesture can be placed on the chakras for healing purposes, providing them with the corresponding energy flow arising from this combination of fingers. To enhance the effect, you should visualize the color flow corresponding to the chakras.
Palms folded together form the Mudra of Harmony (the connection of the right and left palms creates Yin-Yang harmony), the mudra of the praying person, who, having calmed the passion, stabilized the psyche, turns to the Almighty.

Some aspects arising from finger movement
Due to the unique energy supply of our hands, any movement of the hand causes a change in the electromagnetic field around the body. This circumstance determines the use of hand movements for the purpose of both self-healing and providing the necessary assistance to others.
Let's consider those effective actions that can provide certain finger movements.
1. Finger movements can cause a movement of energy within the body, which can balance the Yin and Yang energy.
2. Movement of the fingers transmits natural information to the body, provides resonance and adapts it to the needs of the body. For this purpose, the palms should be directed lengthwise and upward.
3. Each person is able to connect to natural information and form a “single Cosmos”: Heaven - Man - Earth.
4. Finger movements enhance the energetic effect of the influence. At the same time, extended fingers facilitate the process of energy leakage and promote its replenishment.
5. Placing hands on certain areas of the body causes certain effects. So, by straightening individual fingers, depending on the meridians located on them, you can use the necessary types of energy and elements characteristic of a given meridian - Fire, Dryness, Earth, Water, Wood.
The connection of the tips of the thumbs and middle fingers closes the “energy chain” of the meridians of the pericardium and lungs. The energy concentrated in these “windows” can be used to heal any part of the body.
6. Straightening all fingers (four), with the exception of the thumb, directs the flow of energy in a circle - opposite to the straightened fingers.
7. When you move your thumbs up, an energy flow appears, directed to the front of the body and upward. This energy flow is contraindicated when hypertension and, on the contrary, it is recommended for low blood pressure.
A mudra that helps to repay a debt. Mudra helps you easily pay off debts and not get into them again.
This configuration of finger yoga connects to the source of energy, which is responsible for returning debts. When this energy channel begins to work, the necessary amounts begin to be attracted to pay off debts. But if a person wants to spend this money on something other than paying off his debts, it will not do him any good. Mudras also organize energy so that a person no longer goes into debt. By practicing finger yoga, you will feel that life has become easier, you have more money, and there is no need to borrow anymore. As soon as you repay the debt, you can move on to mudra to open a permanent source of income!

The little finger, middle finger and ring finger of the right hand clasp the left hand. Close your eyes, breathe intensely and deeply. Feel the source of golden energy in the area of your heart. Tell yourself that you will pay off all your debts in the near future. You need to perform mudra for 5-7 days in a row for 5-10 minutes 4 times a day: in the morning immediately after sleep, 2 more times after 4 hours and in the evening before bed.

Some people put spiritual meaning into mudras, others perceive them as finger gymnastics that can redirect energy flows in the body. Different finger positions close or open energy channels. In addition, by doing this or that mudra, we influence the biologically active points of the palms and fingers.
Each finger of the hand corresponds to a certain energy. The index finger is associated with knowledge, wisdom and self-confidence. The middle one is responsible for patience and the ability to control feelings. Nameless - for health and vitality. The little finger is the creative component of the personality, the ability to see beauty. The thumb is your ego, will and logic.
According to another theory, the action of mudras is based on the reflex connection of each finger with in different parts body and internal organs. For example, the upper phalanx of the thumb is a “projection” of the head. The ring and middle fingers correspond to the right and left feet, and the little finger and index fingers correspond to the right and left hands.
