Understand Mudra Yoga With Benefits of Mudra

A mudra is a body posture or symbolic gesture. In Buddhist iconography every buddha is depicted with a characteristic gesture of the hands. Such gestures correspond to natural gestures (of teaching, protecting, and so on) and also to certain aspects of the Buddhist teaching or of the particular buddha depicted. Here mudras accompany the performance of liturgies and the recitation of mantras. They also help to actualize certain inner states in that they anticipate their physical expression; thus they assist in bringing about a connection between the practitioner and the buddha visualized in a given practice.


The physical body is made up of five elements namely - Air, Water, Fire, Earth and Aakash. Imbalance of these elements disrupts the immunity system and causes disease. Deficiencies in any of these elements can be made up by connecting one part of the body with another in a particular manner through Mudras.

Mudras can be practiced at any time and anywhere but it effectively helps if one is in a good mood and in the right ambience.Then there will be no blocks to the easy flow of energy. Several serious practitioners do their Mudra ritual a few minutes before falling asleep and a few minutes before getting out of bed. But that is not really important. You can do them any time but it will yield good result if you focus to do it in same time frame. Like; if you do it on Monday, 07A.M then it must be on another day same time. In this way, you will get more benefits as your body clock will adjust according to the Mudra practice.

Mudras are basically categorized in following types: General Therapeutic or Healing Spiritual or Meditative Mudras Mudras are generally practiced in empty stomach. They could be practiced in many different ways by joining the finger tips with the thumb tip or by folding the finger at the base of the thumb etc. depending upon whether the practitioner wishes to increase, decrease or balance a particular element in the body. They can be practiced with one or both hands. Mudras can be practiced any time of the day at any place. Most of the mudras should preferably be practiced in sitting position with spine straight but they could also be done in standing, lying down or walking if instructed by the therapist or teacher to do so.  Here we are discussing: Apan Mudra Apan-vayu Mudra Asthma Mudra Bronchial Mudra Hakini Mudra Linga Mudra Mahasirs Mudra Pran Mudra Akash Mudra Shunya Mudra Surabhi Mudra Prithvi Mudra Vayu Mudra Varun Mudra
