ThreePillarsofVedicHealingMudras,Yoga&Ayurveda

WhatareMudras?

AccordingtotheVediccultureofancientIndia,ourentireworldismadeof‘thefive elements’ called as The Panch-Maha-Bhuta’s. The five elements beingEarth,Water,Fire,WindandSpace/Vacuum.Theyarealsocalled theearthelement,waterelement,fireelement,windelementandspaceelement.

These five elements constitute the human body – the nutrients from the soil(earth) are absorbedby the plantswhichwe consume (thuswe survive on theearth element), the blood flowing through own veins represents the waterelement,thebodyheatrepresentsthefireelement,theoxygenweinhaleandthecarbondioxideweexhalerepresentsthewindelementandthesinuseswehaveinournoseandskullrepresentthespaceelement.

As long as these five elements in our body are balanced and maintainappropriate levels we remain healthy. An imbalance of these elements in thehumanbodyleadstoadeterioratedhealthanddiseases.

Nowunderstandthis,thecommandandcontrolcenterofallthesefiveelementsliesinourfingers.Soliterally,ourhealthliesatourfingertips.

TheMudrahealingmethodthatIamgoingtoteachyoudependsonourfingers.

Tounderstandthis,weshouldfirstknowthefinger-elementrelationship:

Thumb–Fireelement.

Indexfinger–Windelement.

Middlefinger–Space/Vacuumelement.

Thirdfinger–Earthelement.

Smallfinger–Waterelement.

Thisimagewillgiveyouabetterunderstandingoftheconcept:

When the fingers arebrought together in a specificpattern andare touched toeach other, or slightly pressed against each other, the formation is called as a‘Mudra’.

When the five fingers are touched and pressed in a peculiar way to form aMudra,itaffectsthelevelsofthefiveelementsinourbody,thusbalancingthoseelementsandinducinggoodhealth.
