Yoga Mudras are emotional, devotional, and psychic gestures. The gestures help a body in restoring its physical, mental, and spiritual health. These health or powers can be prowess by a man using yoga mudras and postures only.

Mudra comes from the combination of two words: “Mud” and “Dravay.” “Mud” means pleasure, and “Dravay” means to draw forth.

Mudras are simple hand gestures when we touch fingertips in specific ways. These mudras communicate with energies on an astral level. Mudras have various astral, physical, and psychical effects on our bodies. Yoga Mudras are techniques to stimulate different parts of our brain and body.

It is not about beliefs that whether yoga mudras work. They do, only when you perform them in righteous ways. Certain misunderstandings about the yoga mudras can end up putting you in grief and pain.

Our hands are the control panels to everything. Other than doing various physical tasks, we use our hands for performing yoga mudras. And not only hands, but we can also perform yoga mudras using our tongue and eyes. Believe it or not, martial arts are also a form of mudra.

Yoga mudras work when you are attentive toward what is happening around you. Isolating from the world is not the way. When you pay attention, you heighten your ability to be attentive and can use that in miraculous ways.

In a deeper meaning, mudras mean seal. Thus, performing mudras is more like creating a closed circuitry within the body. This circuit connects the physical and psychical networks on an astral level.

Let’s move into the mysterious world of yoga mudras to unveil the science behind how they work.

Five elements made the human body: earth, water, fire, air, and space. (Earth here refers to soil.) Our five fingers represent the five elements

• Thumb: Fire
• Index Finger: Air
• Middle Finger: Space
• Ring Finger: Earth
• Little Finger: Water

And any imbalance in our body or any diseases is due to excursiveness or lack of any one element. Even a weaker immune system can be a consequence. The knowledge one may need to gain to get the sheer strength and power to understand the natural laws.

By performing yoga mudras, we work for the betterment of ourselves. Yoga Mudras help in keeping us healthy and stress-free. Practicing yoga mudras daily gives a balance to our body and boosts our immune system.

The Gyan mudra increases concentration sharpens the brain and builds positive mental power. The Vayu Mudra helps indigestion, the Pran mudra and Surya mudra boosts our immunity, the Shunya mudra strengthens our bones and reduces heart diseases, and the Apan mudra detoxifies our body.

The scientific way of performing a yoga mudra is by sitting in “sukhasana” (Simple cross-legged posture), “padmasana” (Lotus posture), or “vajrasana” (Thunderbolt Pose). Then choose the right yoga mudra and effectuate that for 10-15 minutes.

Energy flow is thus, steered by yoga mudras. A combination of different postures, meditation, concentration, and visualization techniques help. Then, the energy directs within the body because of various yoga mudras.

So, we can say that mudras are somewhat “neural sciences”. That is so because they focus on how a body’s nerves function, respond and carry signals. Yoga Mudras transfer electromagnetic waves within the organization to balance the five elements.

The yoga mudras help in controlling the subconscious actions originating from the brain. Performing these mudras helps our body in removing odd and disastrous habits. They refine consciousness.

There can be five kinds of neural circuits. Diverging, converging, reverberating, and parallel after-discharging circuits. The yoga mudras help in connecting the nerves and create a short-cut using our fingertips. Yoga mudra is not about bending, twisting, or performing unusual activities.

It is about knowing the reality by using subtle science on the subconscious mind and actions. It is about activating the chakras by exuberance.

There can be five kinds of yoga mudras:
• Hand (meditative)
• Head (meditation which involves all five senses)
• Postural (involves yoga mudra, breathing, and consciousness)
• Lock (it includes yoga mudra itself but with a lock (bandha))
• Perineal (which transfers energy from the posterior end of the body to the brain)

A yoga mudra uses your physiology and geometry to align your energy with cosmic forces. Gyan, Vayu, Chin, Agni, Lingaa, Prithvi, Varun, Shunya, and Prana are all forms of yoga mudras.

The science of yoga Mudra provides the safest and the most convenient, easy to do hand mudras, both for prevention as well as for the healing of disease. With five fingers of our hand, we can magically affect the body’s metabolism and that too without spending a single penny or even a single extra minute.

Practicing of Yoga Mudras does not involve going to doctors or hospitals, does not involve any time-consuming exercises, and does not involve any types of equipment at all. Besides, yoga mudras have only healing effects and no side effects at all.
