Healing through your fingers:
Mudras
***
Most people associate yoga
with a person sitting in the lotus position, hands on their knees with their
forefinger and thumb touching. This positioning of the fingers is called
“Mudra” and just like pressure points, this technique can affect our physical and
emotional states.
Mudras have been known in the
East for thousands of years, not only in meditation or yoga, but also as part
of the treatment for various physical and mental ailments. At times, people put
their fingers in the mudra position without even knowing it. There are hundreds
of mudra variations, which include your head, hands and body, each one helping
with different ailments. This list will show you the 10 easiest mudras that you
can perform everywhere and at any time - simply choose the one that corresponds
to your problem and stick to it for a few days, until you feel better.
Please note that there is no
need to apply pressure on your fingers. Perform these exercises with both hands
simultaneously, preferably while sitting down.
1. Gyan Mudra (Knowledge)
The tip of your forefinger
touches the tip of the thumb while the rest of the fingers remain straight.
Targets: This mudra stimulates
the pituitary gland, which controls your metabolism, as well as your sleep
cycles. Gyan helps improve your memory, prevents insomnia, provides clarity of
mind and can help in preventing dementia.
Perform for 30-45 minutes
every day, or for 10-15 minutes 3 times a day.
2. Prithvi Mudra (Earth)
The tip of the thumb touches
the tip of your ring finger while the rest of the fingers remain straight.

physical and mental weaknesses, prevents chronic lethargy, provides an energy
boost and reduces the symptoms of osteoporosis. Other benefits include
prevention of dryness of the skin, rashes, aging, hair loss, and even stomach
ulcers.
Perform for 30-45 minutes
every day, or for 10-15 minutes 3 times a day.
3. Varuna Mudra (Water)
The tip of the pinky touches
the tip of the thumb while the rest of the fingers remain straight.
Targets: Varuna helps balance
your mental state, as well as your bodily fluids (it prevents dryness of the
eyes, mouth, digestive system and skin). This mudra also aids in stopping
cramps and constipation, as well as regulates the menstrual cycle and other
hormonal irregularities in women. On top of all of these benefits, it can
prevent joint degradation, anemia, and even may improve your sense of taste.
Perform for 45 minutes every
day, or for 15 minutes 3 times a day. Avoid if you’re dealing with excess water
retention.
4. Vayu Mudra (Air)
The thumb holds the
forefinger down while the rest of the fingers remain straight.

stress and anxiety, as well as the intensity of your voice. It aids in decision

finger down while the rest of the fingers remain straight.

In cases of severe earaches,
vertigo or numbness of a limb, perform this mudra until the problem is solved.
Perform for 30-45 minutes every day, or for 10-15 minutes 3 times a day. Note
that experts recommend stopping once the problem is over.
6. Surya Mudra (Sun)

finger down while the rest of the fingers remain straight.

goals. Another benefit of the Surya is in keeping you warm if you’re suffering
from chills.

warm.

are held by the thumb.

your kidneys and intestines, thus aiding in cleaning your body from toxins and
preventing constipation. Other benefits are the prevention of nausea and
vomiting, as well as a burning sensation while urinating. This position is
particularly useful for diabetics as it regulates blood glucose levels.

Interlock your fingers while
keeping the left thumb straight. Wrap the left thumb with your forefinger and
right thumb, both of which should touch.
Targets: Linga helps increase
body temperature and reduces phlegm and congestion. It strengthens the lungs
and is particularly effective in cases of a cold, flu, sinus infections and
asthma. It is also known to aid in men’s sexual virility.
It is recommended that you do
not practice this mudra regularly, but rather only when you’re sick. Once the
symptoms are gone, stop practicing it.
