This is a tool for a person to work with his body and the space around it. Mudra is a word with the same root word as “wisdom”.

Below are the Mudras for activating (opening) the seven main chakras and auxiliary chakras located on the palms.

From the spirit, which embodies the five primary qualities, the physical body develops. The physical body itself is equipped with these qualities, and on the basis of such a connection between the spirit and the body, we perceive the external world, which, in turn, consists of five primary qualities, the elements of earth, water, fire, wind and space (ether). Each chakra serves a specific psychic purpose and also performs a specific task for the body. The five lowest chakras are associated with the five elements, and 5 fingers are also subordinate to them.

Perform this exercise for 1 minute at the beginning, increase the time by 1 minute every day. So in 30 days you will reach 30 minutes of close contemplation. When the time for contemplation is over, close your eyes and contemplate the imprint of the flame on the retina of your eye. Contemplate it until it disappears, it will shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow. When contemplating the print, try to roll your eyes and drag it to the area between the eyebrows. Hold it there, but without straining your eyes. This may be difficult at first, but with practice the difficulties will disappear.

Polarity Ha - Tha.

If you find out which energy you need to strengthen, you can use the following Mudras No. 61 and No. 62.

In India, it became known very early that the entire universe is woven from opposites. Yogis use this knowledge in Hatha Yoga when they want to balance Sami (opposites), otherwise polarities, through yogic exercises.

Tha corresponds to the concept of Yin in Ancient China and denotes those types of energy that are associated with the feminine principle. Ha denotes the energy that falls under masculinity and corresponds to the Chinese concept of Yang. However, this does not mean at all that Ha energy should predominate in a male body, and Tha energy should predominate in a female body. As a person develops spiritually, his body gains greater energy balance. It is for this reason that enlightened beings who appear on Earth in the form of avatars often have an androgynous, that is, bisexual, appearance.

In the pantheon of Indian gods, Shiva is depicted as half male and half female. In the list below you will find a list of parts of the human body and those properties that correspond to either the Ha energy or the Tha energy.

Ha: Right side Right hand Front end Top Male Reasonability, mind Light Hardness Heat Dryness Activity Fire Sun Climb Extension Energy Sky

Tha: Left-hand side Left hand Rear end body Bottom Women's Feeling Dark Softness Cold Humidity Passivity Water Moon Descent Compression Matter Earth

When one side dominates in the body, it means that the person is in an unbalanced state. If, for example, he succumbs to rationality, then the action of Ha will prevail in him, which can be expressed in callousness and rudeness. Stress is a typical manifestation of such imbalance, which also manifests itself at the bodily level. We find a correspondence for such an imbalance at the social level: the predominance and overestimation of the rational, “male” side leads to the fact that the “female” land is almost on the verge of destruction.

If, on the contrary, the action of Tha predominates, then it may happen that a person turns out to be too passive or allows himself to be taken over by emotions, without being able to internally distance himself from them.

I have already talked about the primary elements from which all living things are created. The following mudras will allow you to find balance within yourself, which creates the foundation for strengthening your health. These mudras can be performed as a small complex in a weakened state or individually, depending on certain negative sensations.

First of all, let me remind you about the essence of the primary elements, with the exception of ether, which contains the features of all four.

Air (in Sanskrit “vayu” - from “va”, which means “to move”) - wind, blow. This element symbolizes mobility, deployment. It, of course, cannot be identified with natural winds that bring us heat or cold. We can feel this air, but not hear or see it, which is quite understandable even when we are hiding from frost or heat.

Fire is an element given to us in two manifestations: light and heat. We really see it. There is no light - you cannot see the outlines of objects and people. Color is also associated with light. Whoever taught in physics lessons: “Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant sits” (the colors of the spectrum, together making up light). We may recall how we observe with interest the color differences in the parts of a flame.

The next element is water. It has its own characteristics, the main ones being density, heaviness, and cold. (Heat is considered to be a property of fire.) Saliva is also water, so taste is associated with it.

Earth, unlike water, which has fluidity, is the densest and heaviest of the elements. The smell is considered to belong to solid particles - when separated from bodies, they are captured by the olfactory organ.

There are many mudras that allow you to restore the harmony of all elements and thereby the unity of human existence itself.

Mudra of Heaven

Since the sky occupies a superior position in relation to the earth, in humans this mudra is associated with its upper “component” - the head. It affects the subtle element – ​​ether. Accordingly, the mudra of Heaven regulates a person’s internal hearing, and is also intended for those suffering from ear diseases or those who are hard of hearing.

Execution method. The middle finger is bent so that its pad touches the base of the thumb. The big one presses the bent middle one. The other fingers remain straight, without tension.

Wind Mudra

It affects the second of the elements listed above - air, which also determines the degree of adequate response of the nerve endings of the body. Violation of the proportion of this element complicates a person’s mobility and makes sensations painfully acute. Wind mudra is also used for rheumatism, twitching of the neck and head. They alternate it with wise Life.

Execution method. You need to reach the base of your thumb with the pad of your index finger. Use your index finger to lightly hold it with your thumb. The other fingers remain straight and relaxed.

Mudra of Fire

Allows you to restore spiritual clarity, and accordingly, the ability to see and visually perceive objects. In Buddhism, the light of fire is a symbol of wisdom. This is a mystical unity with God, a transformation of nature. Also, in different traditions, the test of a person’s virtue is associated with fire.

Execution method. The index finger and thumb need to be connected in such a way that a ring is formed. Keep your other fingers extended.

Mudra of Water

Life on Earth is impossible without water. Water forms the basis of the human body. Therefore, it is quite understandable that this mudra is associated with blood and mucus. An excess of the latter leads to diseases of those organs where it accumulates. Mucus may appear as excess contents in the stomach, liver, intestinal tract. It accumulates when pulmonary diseases when sputum forms. According to all Eastern ideas, excess fluid leads to an energy blockade of the body.

Execution method. With the little finger of the right hand we touch the base of the thumb, with which the little finger is lightly pressed. The left hand clasps the right one from below. The thumb of the left hand is located on the thumb of the right.

Mudra of the Earth

The earth, as the primary element from which our body is built, determines the type of personality and a person’s susceptibility to certain diseases. Bones, muscles, and olfactory organs are formed from the earth element. Correlating with it is the strength of the spirit, its ability to maintain integrity. This mudra is aimed at strengthening the normal psychophysical state, counteracting mental weakness and stress. In addition, it also has a pronounced protective effect - protection from external energy influences.

Execution method. The thumb and ring fingers touch with their pads (light pressure is applied). The remaining fingers are straightened. Performed in parallel with both hands.

Along with the listed mudras, which regulate the balance of the elements in a person, restoring the harmonious balance of the parties, we can name several more that also directly relate to the most important energy exchanges in the body.

Mudra of Energy

It helps get rid of harmful substances, which block the paths of energy movement in human body, thus breaking the polarity energy metabolism, a person loses the very source of strength. Therefore, this mudra provides an analgesic effect, helps get rid of toxins and toxic compounds, and at the same time affects the improvement of the functioning of the genitourinary system.

Execution method. Connect the pads of the middle, ring and thumb fingers. The other fingers remain free and straight.

Mudra of Life

It allows you to balance the energy field and accumulate potential for the functioning of the whole organism. As the name suggests, the mudra of Life strengthens the general condition, filling it with life-giving forces. This has the best effect on performance, endurance, and helps to avoid overwork, fatigue, and exhaustion.

Execution method. Connect the pads of the ring finger, little finger and thumb, all other fingers are straightened. It is done in parallel with both hands.

Mudra of Intuition

It concerns thought processes and mental organization. The mind should be kept clear and under control, but with the help of intuition, the vastness of other worlds opens up before a person. Therefore, intuition seems to stand above the listed five elements, drawing us towards the center of the universe, the focus. The mudra is aimed at improving inner vision and insight.

Execution method. The little finger and thumb are connected into a ring. The other fingers remain extended.

Mudra of Strength and Protection

When you join your thumb and index finger into a ring, you bridge the gap between everything and your Self.
