With the imposition of hands alone …. ahahah! No, no joke! The mudras are “gestures” that we do with our hands and in the hands as well as feet, there are many nerve endings. In the hands every part of our body is represented and mudra can stimulate health, energy, concentration!
Mudras, meaning seals, are used for a very long time, their origin is lost in the mists of time: already more than five thousand years ago were practiced in order to balance mind, body and spirit. It is not by chance then if every time we do yoga Anjali Mudra gesture: is the classic prayer position, helps us to gather in ourselves and then … and then many other properties! Reduces stress, calms the mind behind all thoughts of the day, increases the elasticity of our hands, balancing the balance of power between left and right, opens the heart chakra.
However, we said … the positions that fingers and hands take in the Mudra reflexology points stimulate present in the hands and it is for this reason that help us to become aware of our physical, mental and emotional.
Often, in the practice of asanas, it matches gestures of hands with mudra to enhance stimulation of yoga practice, to seal it (hence the term seal).
If you feel like (because the time if you want to), you can do at any time of the day, for five or ten minutes while you queue at the traffic lights in the car, in bed before sleep, as you wait for the water bubble!
