Mudras
for Modern Life
Boos Your health, enhance
your yoga,
and deepen your meditation
Swami
Saradananda
Your
body is a sublte but powerful antenna that is continually receiving
and transmitting energy (prana). And mudras are ancient hand gestures
used in many traditions—from yoga and Indian dance to martial
arts and kinesiology—that act like switches to control the
flow of prana to your body. Most mudras are easy to do, yet they
are so powerful that regular practice could change your life.
In this book, renowned yoga teacher Swami Saradananda provides
a highly practical, accessible and inspirational overview of using
mudras in daily life. The book's six core chapters are dedicated
to the different parts of the hand and their associated element
and key holistic benefit:
Thumb
• fire mudras • boosting inner strength and self-esteem
Index finger • air mudras • encouraging freedom, joy
and stress relief
Middle finger • ether mudras • enhanding inner peace,
self-expression and creativity
Ring finger • earth mudras • enouraging stability and
grounding
Little finger • water mudras • enhanding health and
equipping you to move forward
Palm • mind mudras • increasing concentration and clarity
Each
mudra profile includes a photograph and easy-to-follow instructions,
plus an accompanying meditation, visualization, breathing exercise
(pranayama), mantra or yoga pose (asana) that enhances the effectiveness
of the mudra. There's also a range of highly useful mudra routines
for specific problems, such as hay fever, stress and jet lag.
This
is the definitve illustrated guide to mudras, ideal for experienced
yogis and newcomers alike.
