ORIGIN OF MUDRAS

Have you ever wondered why?• In Buddhism Lord Buddha; } are always depicted with • in Jainism Mahavir Swami; } their fingers and hands in • in Sikhism Guru Nanak; } a specific posture?• in Islam the whirling Derveshes }

• The Catholic priests fold their fingers in a specific posture?

• In Egypt the dead are mummified with their hands in a specific posture?

• The Babylonian Sun God Damuzi, }• In Egyptian Hieroglyphs God Anubis } portray many

In Christian Art John the Baptist, } occult hand signsVirgin Mary and Jesus }


ORIGIN OF MUDRAS

In Buddhism and Hinduism, rich cultural traditions are found in Japan, India, China, Tibet and Indonesia.

In the Occident, the study of hand gestures in rituals and its spontaneous movements is called cheironomy (pronounced kaironomy).

J. S. M. Ward in his book “The sign language of mysteries” identifies those most used in Christian art (by no means limited to Christianity)

THESE ARE MUDRAS. POSTURES MADE BY FINGERS AND HANDS

The first written mention of Mudras is found in The Bhagwad Geeta.


MUDRAS IN THERAPY

A SCIENTIFIC LOOK


Element Representation

Any living body is made of 5 distinct ELEMENTS (building blocks) :

FIRE WIND ETHER EARTH WATER

Several ancient health systems are based on the concept of the balance of the five elements. Indian Medical science according to Ayurved and metaphysics affirm that distortion or impairment of the 5 elements create outer disturbance and inner sickness in the body.

The 5 fingers of the hands represent these 5 elements :The Thumb symbolises the FireThe Forefinger symbolises the WindThe Middle finger symbolises the EtherThe Ring finger symbolises the EarthThe Little or Small finger symbolises the Water


A Neural Science

Finger tip are free energy discharge points. Advanced Research is being done on this at the Chennai General Hospital

Each individual has different fingers and no two fingers are alike. The shapes and sizes of the fingers of each individual are determined and provided by nature as a tool to bring the nerves into prime condition when affected adversely.

Because the Mudras work on the nerves, they are a NEURAL SCIENCE similar to Acupressure and Acupuncture.


Energy Conservation

• When the fingers are used to form Mudras, different free energy discharge points come into contact. Prana (energy) is redirected back into the body. They form a simple psycho-neural lock, to redirect energy, moving from brain to fingers and back again.

• The redirected energy traveling through the nerves stimulates the various chakras. Keeping the hands on the knees stimulates the Gupta Nadi and makes the energy start from the Mooladhara Chakra.

• Mudras provides a tension on the nerves to soothe and relax them and function at peak efficiency.


ADVANTAGES OF MUDRAS• Mudras can effect changes in veins, tendons, glands, sense organs.

• Mudras need no prior preparation. They can be practiced as and when necessary under all circumstances.

• They act as corrective remote control switches. They bring about quick and effective reversion of the destructive changes in the human body.

• Some Mudras can act in seconds and minutes. These can be effectively used for first aid.

• Long term practice with devotion and yogic discipline brings about permanent changes.

• The changes desired may be mental (in anger, emotional disturbance, intelligence etc.), spiritual (in concentration, meditation etc.) or physical (in various diseases, illnesses)

• Mudras cleanse the system, calm and concentrate the mind.
