Mudras -- basic information 

Mudras

 
Mudras are specific hand positions which have particular emotional and health benefits for the human body.  They are often referred to yoga of the hands.

Some of them can be quite complicated.  I have chosen a few that are pretty easy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mudras
are to be performed with both hands at the same time, unless otherwise specified. are easy to perform at anytime, although sitting in the lotus position and focusing on the healing can be an advantage.

Although mudras can be used for healing certain ailments, regular

practise of mudras will contribute to your overall good health and can be

used as a preventive measure.

Continuous practice of the mudras will create minute changes in your

body using pulse centres on parts of your hands, which trigger certain

healing processes within the corresponding body part.

Mudras

Start with 10 minutes at a time and increase up to 3/4 hour for best results.

Fingers should remain comfortable during the procedure and not held stiffly or tight.
