What is mudra?
So what is mudra, and what effect does it have on the body?
Mudra is the yoga of the fingers, a special position of the fingers, folded in a certain way and having a healing effect. These gestures were used in India as a way of healing both the body and the spirit. Touching the tip of any finger to another, as it is supposed in the mudra, helps to control the energy flows passing in the human body, and thus have a direct impact on the state of organs and systems.
Performing healing yoga mudras for the fingers does not require a special setting or room. They can be done during a break at work, walking in the park, sitting in front of the TV. The total time for classes – 45 minutes – can be divided into 2.3 or more shorter segments. When performing mudra, both hands are necessarily involved. Fingers do not tense up.
