Six main energy channels, associated with the heart, lungs, brain, liver, spleen, vascular system, large and small intestines, pass through the hands and fingers of a person
The art of Mudras originated in China more than two thousand years ago.. Healers of that time believed that the vital activity of the body is supported not only by food, but also by the energy that it receives from the Cosmos.
This energy circulates through special meridian channels that provide “delivery” to all organs and tissues of the body. If a malfunction occurs in one or more meridians, the energy “fuel” stops flowing to its destination, and the functioning of the internal organs is disrupted. The reasons can be different: unfavorable external conditions, bad heredity, stress, but the result is the same: a person begins to get sick.
Six major energy channels, associated with the heart, lungs, brain, liver, spleen, vascular system, large and small intestines, pass through the hands and fingers of a person. That is why the hand has such a huge healing power! Connecting your fingers together certain combinations, you can activate the meridians and direct energy throughout the body, restore the flow of energy and eliminate “breakdowns” in diseased organs.
Learning to put your fingers into healing combinations is not difficult. It is better to perform Mudras in a calm environment, facing east. But if necessary, they can be done anywhere -on a walk, in transport, at work during lunch break. It doesn’t matter at all whether you are sitting, standing or walking.
Keep your hands calm, without tension. Some exercises can be done on the street, without taking your hands out of your pockets, and also in mittens (at the same time thumb you will have to release it and fold the mudra right inside the mitten). It’s still better to take off your gloves. There should be no jewelry on your hands: rings, bracelets.
The attitude with which the Mudras are performed is of great importance. When starting classes, you must be absolutely calm and confident that therapeutic gestures will bring you relief. Forget about troubles and sorrows, mentally ask for forgiveness from those you have offended, and try to forgive the one who offended you. If you are a believer, before starting the exercises, read a prayer, ask a higher power to help you, and after finishing the exercises, do not forget to thank the person you turned to for help.
When using healing gestures, energy flows are normalized not only in the body of the person performing them, but also in the surrounding space. This means that Mudras can be used to heal from a distance. The main thing is to have a sincere desire to help someone who needs it. If this person is next to you, calmly, trying not to attract attention to yourself, approach him and begin to do the Mudra that is most suitable in this situation. If you are far away, imagine the recipient and mentally hold his image in front of you for the entire time you perform the exercise.
Choosing the required Mudra, remember, you can relieve pain and malaise, but not get rid of the causes of the disease. For example, your head may hurt not only because your blood pressure has risen, but also because of osteochondrosis or poor digestion. To ensure a comprehensive effect on the body, perform not one, but several Mudras throughout the day.
To increase immunity, relieve fatigue and stress, perform the Mudras of Life, Earth, Energy, “Three Columns of Cosmos”, “Turtle”, “Chandman’s Cup”, “Shield of Shambhala”.
For diseases of the cardiovascular system - Mudras of Knowledge, “Life Saving”, “Dragon Temple”, “Staircase of the Heavenly Temple”, “Turtle”, “Vajra Arrow”.
For hypertension - the “Life Saving” Mudra and the Knowledge Mudra, and then, alternating, the Wind and Life Mudras.
Are your lungs not in order, do you suffer from colds and respiratory diseases? Take into your arsenal the Mudras “Shell” and “Lifting”, as well as the Mudras of Water, “Dragon Head”, “Flute of Maitreya”.
You suffer from diseases digestive system? Perform the Water Mudra, as well as the Chandman Bowl, Sea Scallop, and Soaring Lotus Mudras.
For joint pain - Mudras “Cow”, Wind, Life, Energy.
In case of violations nervous system- Mudras of Knowledge, Earth, “Window of Wisdom”, “Staircase of the Heavenly Temple”, “Dragon’s Tooth”, “Shakya-Muni’s Cap”, “Maitreya’s Flute”.
For diseases of the stomach, intestines, bladder, uterus, perform the Soaring Lotus Mudra.
If you have problems with hearing, then you cannot do without the Mudra of Heaven.
Decreased vision - the Mudra of Life will help cope with the ailment.
Perform each exercise five to six times for 5-10 minutes. The optimal time for one lesson is 45 minutes, but you can break it into shorter periods (10, 15 and 20 minutes). If you take medications, it is better to do exercises half an hour before or half an hour after taking medications.
Attention! If, while performing this or that Mudra, you feel any discomfort, stop the exercise immediately, and after a while try to perform another Mudra with a similar effect.

And immediately a short lecture “Yoga for hands”:
In this article
Where to practice
If you have practiced yoga, chanting mantras, or conducted chakra meditation, you should know how important role plays a place to practice. Of course, there are a number of gestures that you can perform while walking. Individual mudras require special places: river bank, forest or mountains. There is also the practice of attracting love, which is done in the presence of another person.
But, as a rule, for daily activities you need a calm, secluded atmosphere where you feel extremely comfortable. Ideally, it is better to allocate a separate room for exercise. But in the absence of such an opportunity, you can study in any corner of the apartment. Just make sure that no one will disturb you during your workout.
Agree with your family so that they do not distract you during the time allocated for practice. Turn off all technical devices in the room: radio, TV, computer, mobile phone. However, music for relaxation will be quite appropriate.
It is better to practice in a well-ventilated area. A light damp cleaning won't hurt either, as it will clear the room of negative energy. Pets should not be nearby. At least, that's what ancient yoga manuals recommend.
In the warm season, you can practice outdoors by choosing a place with strong energy. Your body will tell you suitable option: Here you will not experience discomfort.
Ideal pose
In any direction of yoga, body position for meditation plays a huge role. There are a great variety of asanas, some of which can take more than one year to master. If you have experience in the practice of asanas, you can take Padmasana (Lotus pose) or Siddhasana (power pose).
Lotus Pose
In our case, the simplest pose will be enough. Sit on the floor with your legs crossed in front of you and your knees out to the sides. Place your hands on your knees, palms up. Key moment- straight posture. Keep your neck straight as well. If you are more comfortable sitting on a chair, then this is completely acceptable. Just make sure that the spine is completely straight.
Preparation for hand yoga
Finger yoga works with energy flows. If before classes you pump up your energy to more high level, classes will be given best result. Such charging does not take more than 10–15 minutes, but it solves several problems at once:
- makes muscles and joints elastic;
- improves blood circulation;
- normalizes the functioning of internal organs;
- increases the overall energy potential of the body;
- enhances the movement of energy in all channels, down to the smallest;
- removes blocks that interfere with the free flow of energy.
Some elements of the exercises are performed lying down, so it is better to have a special mat for practicing. IN summer time You can practice in nature. Lawn with soft grass on summer cottage- the most suitable place.
The first complex is performed in the following sequence.
- Place your feet shoulder-width apart, the muscles should spring slightly. Rock your torso left and right, while keeping your feet in one place. With each movement, increase the tempo and amplitude. Then slow down and return to starting position. The total number of movements is 10–15 times.
- We repeat the first stage, changing the direction of movement of the body, rocking it back and forth.
- Lie down on the mat. Your task is to stretch your body to its full length, as far as your joints allow.
- In a lying position, spread your arms out to the sides. Straighten your legs as far apart as possible, as if trying to do a split. Imagine that your torso is stretched in both directions. Stretch for about three seconds, then relax your muscles. Repeat the movement 10-15 times.
- After finishing the complex, lie still for a couple of minutes, listening to your inner sensations.
- Keep your eyes open while stretching.
The second complex is aimed at working with cosmic energies:
- stand or sit straight, close your eyes;
- Stretch your arms forward and spread them to the sides, turn your palms to the sky;
- imagine that light streams of golden energy coming from above pass through your hands;
- Determine the duration of the exercise based on the sensations in your body. If your body accumulates enough energy, you will feel warmth and a feeling of relaxation begin to spread throughout your body. If you feel full, you can lower your hands;
- the last stage of the lesson - you bring your palms to your chest and lower them to the solar plexus area;
- stand like this for 1-2 minutes, then open your eyes.
Having previously imbued yourself with cosmic energy, you will receive a more powerful return from mudras.
Meaning of fingers
It is useful for a mudra practitioner to know what role each finger plays in this system. Let's start with the fact that a single finger is associated with a certain element.
- The thumb represents the element of Fire. In the Vedas she is called Agni.
- The index finger represents the element of Air.
- The central position of the middle finger points us to the substance of the Cosmos - Ether.
- The ring finger is responsible for connecting with the energies of the Earth.
- The little finger in this hierarchy serves the Water element.
Knowing the connection of fingers with a specific element, you can connect them in different combinations and thus regulate energy flows in the body. In a similar way Hatha yoga works, but it uses difficult poses for this purpose. In mudras, the yogi uses his fingers, with the help of which he closes and opens the circuits of internal electricity.
The thumb associated with Fire energy is the leading one. When paired with another finger, it enhances the effect of the element that the “partner” represents.
For example, when the pads of the thumb and index finger touch, we give strength to the Air element. The air is warmed by Fire and receives additional potential. This combination is called the mudra of Knowledge.
The combination of the thumb and middle finger is called Akasha Mudra. With its help, the energy of Heaven – Ether – is activated.
Prithvi mudra strengthens man's connection with the Earth. In this case, the thumb and ring fingers touch.
Bhudi mudra is the connection of the thumb with the little finger. This variation is needed to strengthen the Water element.
The connection of the thumb and index finger is called the knowledge mudra
As a rule, yogis practice mudras in the morning or evening hours. Decide for yourself how much time to devote to classes. At first, five minutes will be enough. Then the duration of meditation can be increased to 30 minutes. Some gestures require you to perform them several times a day. Always follow the recommendations for specific mudras.
You can increase the effectiveness of finger yoga using mantras. Sacred sounds promote concentration. If you find it difficult to choose a mantra, use the universal sound OM-AUM. But if the mudra bears the name of an Indian deity, then it is better to sing the corresponding mantra.
The mind should be free of thoughts during classes. Inner silence is the ideal to which we must strive. Focus on the current moment. Direct your attention entirely to your fingers. Think about what results meditation will give you. Observe the movement of energy in the body, listen to the words of the mantra or the sound of your voice. But nip small everyday thoughts (what to buy in the store, what to cook for lunch) in the bud.
Remember: yoga is the path of perfection. If you do not have a clear intention to change your personality, improve your health, or increase your energy, classes are meaningless. Therefore, in parallel with the practice of mudras, engage in cleansing of the body, mind and emotions. Leave it in the past bad habits, give up junk food, banish gloomy thoughts. Open your heart to the vibrations of love.
From this video you will learn how many mudras you can do per day:
Finger exercises for beginners
The first exercise is preparatory in nature. With its help you will tune in to the right mood and acquire basic skills in working with energy channels.
Move your palms together at a distance of 3-5 centimeters. Connect the fingertips of both hands, making a kind of house. Imagine energy flowing into the space between your palms. Feel it as a dense substance that pulsates and radiates heat. The intensity of sensations indicates readiness for next stage classes.
Palms like a house - basic exercise practices
First of all, we are interested in mudras that effectively relieve stress, promote relaxation, increase immunity and provide powerful nutrition.
- Let's start with a combination that will cleanse you of accumulations of negative energy and eliminate nervous tension. The gesture involves the thumb, ring and little fingers. Their ends are connected into a pinch. Keep your middle and index fingers straight so that they touch. It is better to perform the gesture with both hands, but you can do it with each hand in turn. The duration of the exercise is 2–3 minutes.
- The next step will be the mudra, represented by the looped thumb and ring fingers. The other fingers are straightened and pointing upward. Do the exercise for 2-3 minutes. As a result, the feeling of anxiety will go away.
- The next exercise is aimed at strengthening the nervous system. Clenched fists bring it together in front of you. Both thumbs bend it up. For two minutes, perform special breathing: inhale deeply through your nose in two counts, exhale through your mouth and last for one count.
- Now slowly unclench your fists and clasp your palms together as if you were praying. The duration of the stage is also two minutes.
- The next mudra affects physical body, eliminating the germs of potential diseases that are on early stage development. The gesture combines the pads of the thumb, middle and ring fingers. The exercise takes 2–3 minutes.
- Place the edge of your left palm perpendicular to the plane of your right palm to form a kind of cross. Now align the pad of your right thumb with the center of your left palm. Exercise increases tone and gives additional nutrition to the body.
- Any practice requires consolidation of the result. This is the meaning of the next gesture. In addition, with the help of this mudra you strengthen your immune system. Close the ring from your thumb and ring finger. Place your index finger on the thumb in the bend area. Extend your little finger and middle finger. The exercise is done separately on each hand for 2–3 minutes.
Of course, this is only a small part of the arsenal that experienced yogis use. They have mudras at their disposal for all occasions.
But the complex proposed above will bring tangible benefits if you devote 15-30 minutes to it every day. In a week, you will notice an improvement in your well-being, you will begin to perceive the world more positively, and your life will become bright and rich.

A little about the author:
Evgeniy Tukubaev The right words and your faith are the key to success in the perfect ritual. I will provide you with information, but its implementation directly depends on you. But don’t worry, a little practice and you will succeed!When you come to a yoga class, you can see how the instructor, while performing asanas, folds his fingers into incomprehensible patterns. What do they mean?
Your teacher makes a mudra, a special gesture that helps direct the flow of energy into in the right direction. Before starting the practice, the yogi usually sets the intention of what you want from the practice: to calm down, recharge with energy, heal some disease. Based on this, a specific mudra is selected that will help direct chaotic energy to complete a specific task.
They say that the fingers of our hands are responsible for a separate element: fire (thumb), air (index finger), space (middle finger), earth (ring finger), water (little finger). Using this knowledge, you can balance the elements in your body. According to Ayurveda, they are in imbalance which leads to diseases. For example, too much fire leads to heartburn, too much water leads to indigestion.
In order to harmonize your state, sit in a comfortable position, switch to yogic breathing and choose one of the following 5 mudras.
- Connect your index finger and thumb.
- Keep the rest of your fingers relaxed and straight.
