Basic mudras. What is wise. How and why to use them

Arriving at a yoga class, you can see how the instructor, while performing asanas, folds his fingers into incomprehensible patterns. What do they mean?

Your teacher makes mudra, a special gesture that helps direct the flow of energy in the right direction. Before starting the practice, the yogi usually sets the intention of what you want from the practice: calm down, recharge your batteries, heal any disease. Based on this, a specific mudra is selected that will help direct chaotic energy to perform a specific task.

They say that the fingers of our hands are responsible for a separate element: fire (thumb), air (index finger), space (middle finger), earth (ring finger), water (little finger). Using this knowledge, you can balance the elements in your body. According to Ayurveda, they are in an imbalance that leads to disease. For example, too much fire leads to heartburn, too much water leads to indigestion.

In order to harmonize your state, sit in a comfortable position, switch to yogic breathing and choose one of the following 5 mudras.

  • Connect your index and thumb.
  • Keep the rest of your fingers relaxed and straight.
  • The palms can be facing up if you want to open your mind, or down for grounding.
  • Practice on both palms.
  • Anjali mudra (Mudra of gratitude)- in Sanskrit "Anjali" is translated as "worship". This mudra connects the right and left hemispheres of the brain, the body - with consciousness, allows a person to become a single whole. It represents unity and connection with oneself and the world. Use it to reconnect with your spirituality.
  • Technique:

    • Put your palms together, fingers up.
    • Palms evenly touch each other.
    • Do not press them tightly, leave a small space between them.
    • Keep your palms at chest level.
  • Apana Mudra (Mudra of Purification)- This mudra has similar functions with detox - it perfectly helps to cleanse the body. It is best to practice it in the morning: it will improve your skin, speed up digestion, and give you energy and confidence for the rest of the day.
  • Technique:

    • Connect the tips of the middle and ring fingers with the thumb.
    • Straighten your little finger and index finger.
    • Keep them relaxed, but not lifeless.
  • Dhyana Mudra (Mudra of Concentration)- Many meditations are accompanied by this mudra, which helps to focus, discard unnecessary thoughts and calm down. It provides complete harmony and endless peace. The right hand symbolizes consciousness, and the left hand symbolizes the illusion of presence. Hold this mudra to maintain concentration and start healing processes in the body.
  • Technique:

    • Place your hands on your hips with your palms up.
    • If you want to develop the feminine side in yourself, then place your left palm on top, if you want to work out volitional qualities - the right one.
    • Connect the tips of your thumbs.
  • Kali Mudra (Mudra of Transformation)-Kali is responsible for destruction, transformation and death. This mudra eliminates darkness, ignorance and helps to comprehend the truth. Kali is a fierce, powerful and powerful energy. Practice this mudra to get rid of tension and negativity, to become stronger and more confident.
  • Technique:

    • Interlace your little finger, middle and ring fingers.
    • The index fingers are straightened, directed upwards.
    • The left thumb rests on the small one.

    Mudras perfectly complement meditation and asanas. When we learn to work with our energy, we move to a completely different level of practice. Moreover, mudras can be practiced not only on the mat, but also in any convenient place - they work separately from practice.



    Mudras are exercises for the fingers, with the help of which reflexogenic zones are activated, which, in turn, can affect the well-being and mood of a person.

    Very easy to perform mudras can be practiced in any position - lying or sitting, and even on the go. In addition, they are recommended for children, debilitated, sick and elderly people.

    Initially, there were 9 mudras that were used for meditation.
    To date there are dozens of mudras, which are used in yoga, in Indian dances (which have much in common with yoga), in martial arts - judo, aikido, tai chi, and so on. But it is in kundalini yoga that mudras are used to enhance the effect of asanas: a certain position of the fingers in combination with the posture of the body.

    This direction of yoga (in fact, like the modern course of official medicine - reflexology) explains the effectiveness of the exercises performed by the fact that there are certain reflexogenic zones on the hands and fingers corresponding to the organs of the human body.

    Influencing them causes a change in the work of these organs.
    We can say that the hands are in this sense a "mirror of the soul and body."

    To get the most out of mudras, you need to perform them correctly.
    First you need to choose one mudra and perform it three times a day for 3-5 minutes for 21 days. Then you can move on to another mudra and so on.

    The effect of performing the mudras should be felt in the form of intense warmth, reduced discomfort and pain (if present in some area), and reduced emotional tension.
    These effects occur during or immediately after training, sometimes the practitioner may feel tired and trembling in the hands.

    33 - 34

    The art of Wisdom originated in China over two thousand years ago. The healers of that time believed that the vital activity of the organism is supported not only by food, but also by the energy that it receives from the Cosmos. This energy circulates through special meridian channels that provide “delivery” to all organs and tissues of the body. If a failure occurs in one or more meridians, the energy “fuel” stops flowing to its destination, and the work of the internal organs is disrupted. The reasons may be different: adverse external conditions, poor heredity, stress, and the result is the same: a person begins to get sick.

    Six main energy channels associated with the heart, lungs, brain, liver, spleen, vascular system, large and small intestines run through the hands and fingers of a person. That is why the hand has such great healing power! By connecting fingers in certain combinations, you can activate the meridians and direct energy throughout the body, restore the flow of energy and eliminate “breakdowns” in diseased organs.

    Learning to put your fingers in healing combinations is easy. It is better to perform Mudras in a calm environment, facing east. But if necessary, they can be done anywhere - on a walk, in transport, at work during a lunch break. It doesn't matter if you are sitting, standing or walking.

    Keep your hands calm, without tension. Some exercises can be done on the street without taking your hands out of your pockets, as well as in mittens (in this case, you will have to release your thumb and fold the mudra right inside the mittens). It's best to take your gloves off. There should be no jewelry on the hands: rings, bracelets.

    Of great importance is the attitude with which the Mudras are performed. Starting classes, you must be absolutely calm and confident that healing gestures will bring you relief. Forget about troubles and sorrows, mentally ask for forgiveness from those whom you offended, and try to forgive the one who offended you yourself. If you are a believer, before starting the exercises, read a prayer, ask the higher powers to help you, and after finishing the classes, do not forget to thank the one you turned to for help.

    When using healing gestures, energy flows are normalized not only in the body of the one who performs them, but also in the surrounding space. This means that Mudras can be treated at a distance. The main thing is to experience a sincere desire to help those who need it. If this person is next to you, calmly, trying not to draw attention to yourself, go up to him and start doing the Mudra that is most suitable for this situation. If you are far away, imagine the addressee and mentally hold his image in front of you during the entire time you are doing the exercise.

    When choosing the right Mudra, remember that you can relieve pain and discomfort, but not get rid of the causes of the disease. For example, your head may hurt not only because your blood pressure has risen, but also because of osteochondrosis or poor digestion. In order for the effect on the body to be complex, perform during the day not one, but several Mudras.

    For improve immunity, relieve fatigue and stress do Mudras of Life, Earth, Energy, “Three Columns of Cosmos”, “Turtle”, “Chandman Bowl”, “Shield of Shambhala”.

    At diseases of the cardiovascular system -Mudras of Knowledge, “Life Saving”, “Dragon Temple”, “Stairs of Heavenly Temple”, “Turtle”, “Vajra Arrow”.

    At hypertension - Mudra “Saving Life” and Mudra of Knowledge and then, alternating, Mudras of the Wind and life.

    Your lungs are out of order, they are tormenting colds and respiratory diseases ? Take on arms Mudras “Sink” and "Lifting", as well as Mudras of Water, “Dragon Head”, “Flute of Maitreya”.
