In the last century, people were guided by the formula: "in a healthy body – a healthy mind." In principle, they seemed to be doing quite well.
Time has passed the millennium, the Russian clock somehow knocked unevenly counting down the time, the spirit stretched beyond to the West, to the East … Body… the body rushed to the right, then to the left, remaining between … The euphoria of the rushing spirit stretched to the East for harmony, health… behind the West.
There in the East, amazing people live, they are called yogis, they live for a long time, in poses unthinkable even for the flexible body of a child. Their robes consist of loincloths… they say they can do anything, well, if not everything, then at least something that we never dreamed of…
Mudras – the connection of fingers into figures, there are in the traditions of different peoples, sometimes gestures are symbols (like a pioneer salute or the military salute), sometimes the connection of different energy flows (this is how Chinese sages and yoga in particular approach the issue), we can talk about the connection of aspects of the personality, organs and systems of the body, constellations and planets, elements, etc.
We pass wisdom at ease and grab asanas, mudras, meditations, aromatherapy and… other beautiful external manifestations of Eastern culture.
Among the achievements of Eastern wisdom, mudras are just a gift for the Western world, because, according to "experts", you can watch TV with your fingers folded in a certain way for 15 minutes – and health is in your pocket.
To believe or not to believe is your business, but it does not hurt to try, especially if you delve into the rules.
The rules are simple, although some of them may remain behind the scenes:
– Do not try to use all the mudras, choose the one that is most relevant for your condition and / or state of health
– take the time to practice the performance of mudra daily – it is desirable / mandatory (here the sources differ) to relax, be in a calm environment, calm your mind
– the most favorable meditative postures
and states, hands should be relaxed
– to fold the fingers into mudra naturally, smoothly, without reflection, doubt, etc. does not work immediately, but the task is precisely to master mudra and make it a natural, unconscious assistant in life
– mudra can be filled with meaning, images that you imagine, sensations, state of consciousness, therefore, the freer the freer your mind and body during the period of mastering the practice, the more successful the gesture action will be when you fold your fingers intuitively, without hesitation, in later life.
You can use mudras for your own development, for the treatment of diseases, for the harmonization of your inner strengths. There are so many mudras that we will try to gradually collect a selection: "healing mudras of the Runet":
