HASTA MUDRAS

“Yoga is the artwork of awareness on the canvas of body, mind, and soul.”

Mudras (“mud” – stands for joy, “ra” – to give) are hand gestures or seals that can lead energies.

According to Hinduism, there are five elements that are the basis of all cosmic creation. Those are fire (Agni), air (Vayu), space (Aakasha), earth (Prithivi), and water (Varun).

Each of our fingers represents one of the five elements:

· Ring Finger = Earth (Prithivi)

· Thumb = Fire (Agni)

· Index finger = Air (Vayu)

· Small Finger = Water (Varun or Jala)

· Middle Finger = Ether (Aakasha)

Ancient Hindu philosophy says that those five elements are an integral part of every human being. Yet, everybody has a different balance of those elements: while some of us need more water, others might lack the element earth. The more balanced we are with those elements, the more health, and wellbeing we gain. Mudras will help us to support our system and finding this balance.
