Mudras (“seal, sign”) - hands placed in a certain way, are a ritual language of gestures, in Hinduism and Buddhism - symbolically located hands.
Mudras are a powerful way of influencing yourself, thanks to which you can find inner peace and health. This is one of the most proven, centuries-tested methods of self-improvement that can be practiced anytime, anywhere.
For healing, since ancient times, people have used various combinations of finger placement. Ritual finger placements were also used to enter certain states of consciousness and for meditation.
From one point of view, in accordance with the energy structure of a person, the main meridians (there are six of them) end on three fingers, with the help of mudras, the energy flow is closed, forming a certain configuration between the organs, which will directly affect the condition of the organs and health.
From another point of view, energy centers (chakras) and subtle bodies (aura and its layers) are projected onto the fingers. By acting through the fingers in a certain way, the functions of the bodies and energy centers are activated. That is, the impact will be on the physical, etheric, astral and mental bodies.
If you connect your fingers, acting on the fingertip or phalanx, the corresponding chakras and bodies will be activated, if you press your finger to the palm (closed finger) - this will lead to an inhibitory and calming effect on their functions.
Fingers that are not actively involved in the mudras onto which the corresponding energy centers and bodies are projected will not in any way affect the functioning of the chakras and bodies; the chakras and bodies will function in the usual way. There are a variety of mudras and many of them. Some affect health, some affect emotions, and there are mudras that affect consciousness.
Body position
When performing mudras, turn your face to the East. You can perform mudras in any position: sitting, standing, lying down or on the move. The main thing is to focus on the mudra and what you want to achieve with it. Performing mudras does not require a special setting or room; they can be performed while walking, at a meeting, or while watching TV. Although, it goes without saying, it is best to use Mudras during meditation. In this case, the classic “lotus” pose is traditionally recommended.
The body should be symmetrical, centered and relaxed. If you are sitting on a chair when performing Mudras, your back should be level with the back of the chair, and your legs should have good contact with the floor. If you are lying down, naturally, the position of your back will be most suitable if you use a sufficiently hard, flat and large surface for this.
If you practice Mudras while standing, then spread your legs shoulder-width apart and point your toes straight forward.
If you walk while performing Mudras, then the walking should be uniform, calm and rhythmic. In any case, it is important to be free and relaxed, since every distortion or any tension in the body interferes with internal energy flows and sharply weakens the impact of the Mudras.
Pay attention to symmetrical posture and the position of your hands, which should be at a distance of several centimeters from the body. Only this gives internal balance and regulates the activity of the nervous system and endocrine glands. The finger pressure is very light and gentle, and the hands are relaxed.
If a certain Mudra causes difficulty for you, then this signals a problem in the area of the body or organ corresponding to this Mudra. In this case, spend more time on this Mudra, learning it and then further practice in order to quickly get rid of your problem.
Breath
With proper breathing, the effect of Mudras can be greatly enhanced. Knowing the principles of this mechanism, you will be able to influence the action of the Mudras according to your needs.
- During deep breathing, in addition to carbon dioxide, we also give off “spoiled” energy on the subtle plane. Before starting classes, take a few deep breaths, making room for new energies.
- Always take a short pause after inhaling and exhaling, just a few seconds. This is the most important thing during the breathing process. During these pauses, internal forces are adjusted to the desired level.
- If you practice Mudras for calming, then slow down your exhalation.
- If you practice Mudras for revitalization and vigor, then intensify your inhalation.
- The quality of breathing is optimal if it is slow, rhythmic, deep, but not aggressive.
So. At the beginning of the lesson, you exhale forcefully several times and at the same time make your breathing deeper and slower. Now you have 3 options.
First: Breathe evenly and feel the contact of your fingers with equal force both when inhaling and exhaling.
Second: You can squeeze your fingertips a little tighter as you inhale and release the pressure as you exhale.
Third: You can squeeze your fingertips a little tighter as you exhale and release the pressure as you inhale.
Each opportunity has its own special action.
The first centers, brings the internal state into balance and, in general, organizes forces.
The second strengthens the will and refreshes.
The third promotes calm and relaxation.
Try these options and feel the difference for yourself! Find your optimal breathing rhythm and your optimal respiratory depth and observe for a few minutes. You can do Mudras and think about anything at the same time. But it’s better if you focus on your own breathing. Appropriate visualizations and affirmations serve as good support for the action of Mudras.
During the day, mudra should be repeated no more than 5-6 times for 5-10 minutes. The optimal time for one lesson is 45 minutes, but you can break it into shorter periods (10, 15 and 20 minutes).
If Mudras are used to eliminate problems or diseases, in fact as a medicine, then it is better to “take” them also as a medicine at the same time 3-4 times a day for 5-15 minutes.
If you take medications, it is best to do exercises half an hour before or half an hour after taking medications.
Attention!
If, while performing this or that mudra, you feel any unpleasant sensations, stop the exercise immediately, and after a while try to perform another mudra with a similar effect.

Protective Mudra against energy vampirism
Mudra arms us with protection from the negative influence of others, which can affect us in the most unfavorable way in the case when we are easily lost and succumb to the influence - often unconsciously - of our counterpart. By identifying with the feelings and thoughts of others - when, for example, we allow unacceptable intimacy or want to fix something, while going too far in a purely personal matter - we unconsciously allow our counterpart to connect to our energy and siphon it off.
If we do something not voluntarily and, frankly, to the detriment of ourselves, we are energetically devastated and may end up becoming energy vampires ourselves. Through this mudra we form a castle and thanks to it we protect our stomach, the softest and most vulnerable part of the body, as well as our emotional state from the influence of others.

Mudra translated from Sanskrit means “the giver of joy.” The term "mudra" has several meanings. It denotes a gesture, facial position of the hands, a symbol, as well as certain positions of the eyes, body and breathing technique. Joining hands in mudra has a special effect on the body. Firstly, it leads to a certain information and energy exchange between the cosmos and the human body, and secondly, the hands represent the electric and magnetic poles of the body; at the fingertips there are the starting and ending points of the three Yang and three Yin energy channels passing through the hands.
The effect of mudras can be enhanced with breathing exercises, herbs, scents, music and color.
Dear friends, I want to introduce you to very good and simple mudras that I use and love. They can be performed at any time, anywhere (please, not in the car if you are driving). If you sit in any position that is comfortable for you, relax while performing this exercise and monitor your sensations, you will feel changes occurring even while performing the technique.
If you do these exercises regularly, your overall health will improve, your immune system will be restored, and illnesses will disappear. If used in cases where something urgently needs to be treated, it can act like an injection or tablet. Tested by me personally and not only.
For a better understanding, I will give a little theory on Hastamudra. It is very important to understand that all mudras were given in accordance with the level of development of those people to whom they were given at that time.
So. Our body consists of five elements - earth, water, air, fire and ether. These five elements also form the cosmos. These five elements are in tune with the functions of our body to keep it healthy. The five fingers are responsible for these five elements:
1 finger - thumb - fire
2nd finger - index - air
3rd finger - middle - ether
4th finger - ring - earth
5th finger - little finger - water
Thus, the elements manifested in a person help maintain your health. Those who do these exercises daily and do not overeat can live the rest of their lives without ever getting sick. Yes, you can say that this is a kind of fantasy, but through overeating and eating inedible elements, we poison our body in the literal sense of the word. Thus, if you remove constant poisoning, then the use of the technique itself becomes logical. After all, this is nothing more than harmonization and our body is programmed like a machine for self-balancing and self-healing, only we are bad drivers, because we pour inappropriate fuel, do not change the oil (some people never do), do not check the car, and then we are surprised why does it break?
I will talk about Yoga positions for fingers in order:

Reader question: in the article: "Wise Yoga - healing hands. Mudras" indicate the correspondence of the elements to the fingers. in another source, the thumb is space, the middle finger is fire, which one of you has a mistake?
Hope: The error, of course, lies in another source, since the thumb is A(O)gni Tattva. Here, even without translation into modern Russian, it is clear that Agni is fire. I am very glad that my article is read and questions are asked. Good luck with your practices. Hope
