Mudra Therapy

Mudra literally means 'gesture'. Mudra expresses and channelizes cosmic energy within the mind and body
  • The body is made up of 5 elements – Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space.
  • When these 5 elements are not in balance we get various physical and psychological ailments.
  • The energy from the body radiates out mainly through the tip of the nose, lips, finger tips and toes.
  • When the thumb gets in contact with the other fingers, energy is directed back to vitalize various parts of our body.
  • This is called as circuit bypass.
Mudras done using hands are called Hasta Mudra


  • The 5 fingers represent 5 elements (tatvas)
    ↓
    Thumb: Fire
    Index Finger: Air
    Middle finger: Space
    Ring Finger: Earth
    Small finger: Water
Gyan Mudra

Pranav Mudra
  • Method- Open your palm. Fold down index and middle finger, keeping thumb, small finger and ring finger straight.
