Mudra Therapy
Mudra Therapy is a part of Yoga where the human body is considered as a miniature form of the Universe. Just like the Universe is made up of the fusion of 5 elements – FIRE, AIR, EARTH, WATER AND SPACE, so is our human body.
The principle of this healing method, which utilizes hand gestures, or mudras, is that the root cause of disease is an imbalance between these five elements. The secret of a healthy body lies in the proper equilibrium of these five elements. The five fingers in our hand represent these five basic elements that are correlative to each other. Each finger emits different kinds of electro-magnetic waves through the finger tips. By touching or folding fingers in a particular way, or pressing specific points on the hands, one can balance and cure a disturbance in these five elements and maintain a healthy mind and body.
If we compare the human body to a machine, then the mudras are like its control switches, creating specific types of energy waves in the body. By stabilizing these waves through certain hand gestures, we balance the five elements, aiding in maintaining our physical, mental, and spiritual equilibrium.
Mudras can be performed anywhere (while traveling, watching TV, walking, sitting, or doing any kind of work). Preferably mudras should be performed with both hands to reap maximum benefits. Mudra performance by the right hand helps the left side of the body and vice-versa.
A light pressure on the fingers should be applied with ease and relaxation. While mudra performance for even a second can help to create vibrations in the remotest muscle centers of our body which prove beneficial, the necessary duration of the mudra performance should be strictly monitored as per instructions.
Some mudras can show an effect immediately after performance, while others need to be practiced routinely to gain a positive progress in health.
The Creator has made the human body completely self-dependent. The mind and body has the power to trigger an ailment, but also the innate ability to cure oneself through these natural healing modalities by controlling the mind, body and spirit.
