| Healing of Diseases by
Mudras |

People fold their fingers in
various Mudras (Gestures). It is little known, however, that
Mudra Science is Tatva Yoga i.e. Yoga based on Science of
Elements. And these Mudras can help in curing many
Diseases.
Tatva Yoga Mudra Vigyan is an independent
Yoga, built upon the knowledge of the five fingers of the
human hand.
Detailed descriptions are available in
Mantra Shastra (Books of incantation), Upasana Shastra (Books
on meditation), Nritya Shastra (Books on the art of Dances)
and the books on the art of sculpture.
Mudra is a very
exact and scientific Yogic function by which one can develop
and even change one's internal and external disposition viz.
Mental (anger, emotional disturbance, intelligence etc.),
Spiritual (concentration, meditation) or Physical (in various
diseases, illnesses). Mudras can bring miraculous Mental,
Spiritual and Physical changes and improvements in our body.
They help in quickly balancing the elements of the body.
Mudras effect changes in Veins, Tendons, Glands and
Sense Organs.
Mudras need no prior preparation. They
can be done (mostly but with exceptions) at any time, anywhere
and virtually under any circumstances.
Mudras are like
literal remote control switches bringing quick and effective
changes.They help in bringing about permanent
changes.
Mudras help in Kundalini Yoga to awaken the
Cosmic Energy and to Unite Consciousness of Inner Supreme
Soul.
Constant practice of Mudras can stop or slow down
the destructive changes in the human body. It can help develop
a virtuous, socially amiable, non-violent, pious and courteous
disposition.
Some of the Mudras can balance the
elements of the body within 45 minutes; some react within a
few seconds on the human body.
The ancients believed
there were 24 Diagnostic Elements, the Gayatri Mantra has 24
words, the Jains have 24 Tirthankaras, and Sanatan Dharma has
24 avatars. The 24 words of the Gayatri Mantra have a special
relationship with 24 Mudras known as GAYATRI MUDRAS. They have
different names and formations.
The importance of
Mudras is also clear from the grim qualifier to these: -
Etaa Mudraa na
jaanaati, Gaayatri nishphalaa bhaveta
( To him who does not know
Mudras, Gayatri becomes ineffectual.)
Mudras awaken
the cosmic energy and help unite the Atma (Soul) with
Paramatama (Cosmic Soul).
Thus, the tension applied to
the nerve/s and/or the neural or psycho- neural circuits
formed by the Mudras help in balancing the five basic Elements
(or building blocks).
The Thumb
(Angusth)represents Fire (Agni), the Fore finger (Tarjani)
Vayu (Air), the Middle finger (Madhyama) Akash (Space), the
Third finger (Anamika) Prithvi (Earth) and the Fourth finger
(Kanishika) Jal (Water).
This balancing
of the tension and redirection of the internal energy effects
the changes in veins, tendons, glands and sensory organs to
bring the body back to a healthy state.
Mudras never
generate an excess of energy, they simply seek an optimal
balancing of prana, much like a thermostat.
So next time you are Ailing, remember
it may just be an instance of mal adjusted prana and an
innocuous sleight of hand could be the cure
Here are some mudras which are useful in
therapy. As mentioned earlier there can be no end to the gains
that may be had from Mudras. While for most Mudras there are
no restrictions of posture and time, others should not be
performed without full knowledge. In some cases, practice for
longer periods or while in a different posture or at the wrong
time could even prove harmful.
