Read more What Are Mudras? Mudra is a term with many meanings. It is used to signify a gesture, a mystic position of the hands, a seal, or even a symbol. However, there are eye positions, body postures, and breathing techniques that are called mudras. These symbolic finger, eye, and body postures can vividly depict certain states or processes of consciousness. Conversely, specific positions can also lead to the states of consciousness that they symbolize. We can effectively engage and influence our body and our mind by bending, crossing, extending, or touching the fingers with other fingers. Isnt this wonderful? Read more Bhuchari Mudra (The gaze into the void) Assume the seated meditation posture in front of a white wall (with your eyes looking at the wall). Place the thumb of your right hand between your nose and upper lip. Stare at your little finger. After a short while, lower your hand and continue to look at the place where the little finger had been. Concentrate as long as possible on this spot and think of nothing else. Effect: Promotes memory and concentration and calms the mind. Read more Meditations for Each Finger Index Finger Energy The heart chakra, the large intestine, and the deep meridian of the stomach are associated with this finger. Here we also find the sure instinct, having a good nose, the ability to reflect, and inspiration. This energy goes to our innermost core and back to the cosmos from there. We can also draw on our innermost being (intuition) and receive from the cosmos (inspiration). This finger includes both closeness and expansiveness. Middle Finger Energy Hindus call this finger the heavenly finger and classify it with the throat chakra. Take a look at it. It is the longest finger, and towers over the others. Its energy radiates far into infinity. It could also be considered the stairway to Heaven. We also find this symbolism in the throat chakra, the gateway of purity, which only opens when the student is pure in spirit and in heart. Ring Finger Energy The ring finger is associated with Apollo, the sun god, and the root chakra, which rules the pelvic floor. This force gives stamina, staying power, and the power to be assertive. The Chinese have classified this finger with the deep meridian of the liver. The power of the liver gives a person patience, serenity, hope, and vision for the future. The force that dominates this finger provides stability, is penetrating, and strives upward. Little Finger Energy The second chakra, which is the energetic center of sexuality, is associated with the little finger. It deals with interpersonal relationships in general, as well as partnership in particular. It also contains the ability to communicate. Since the Chinese healing practitioners found the heart meridian to be in this finger, this confirms the yogis thesis relating the water element to it (water symbolizes the realm of the emotions). Read more Apan Mudra (Energy Mudra) With each hand: Place the thumb, middle finger, and ring finger togetherextend the other fingers. When needed, do for 5 to 45 minutes or use three times a day for 15 minutes as a course of treatment. This mudra supports the removal of waste materials and toxins from the body, as well as eliminating urinary problems, according to Keshav Dev. In addition, the Apan Mudra has a balancing effect on the mind, which is largely dependent upon a well-functioning liver. It gives us patience, serenity, confidence, inner balance, and harmony. In the mental realm, it creates the ability to develop vision. You need all of this when you look into the future, while facing new challenges, and if your wishes are to be fulfilled. Read more
