Mudras that restore the balance of life. Mudras for working with emotions, vishudha (throat chakra), creativity, flow state
I have already talked about the primary elements from which all living things are created. The following mudras will allow you to find their balance in yourself, which creates the foundation for strengthening your health. These mudras can be performed as a small complex in a weakened state or separately, depending on certain negative sensations.
First of all, let me remind you of the essence of the primary elements, with the exception of the ether, which contains the features of all four.
Air (in Sanskrit "vayu" - from "va", which means "to move") - wind, breath. This element symbolizes mobility, deployment. It, of course, cannot be equated with natural winds that bring us warmth or cold. We can feel this air, but not hear or see, which is quite understandable even when we are hiding from frost or heat.
Fire is an element given to us in two manifestations: light and heat. We really see him. There is no light - you cannot see the outlines of objects and people. Color is also associated with light. Who in physics lessons did not teach: "Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant is sitting" (the colors of the spectrum that together make up the light). You can recall how we observe with interest the color difference in parts of the flame.
The next element is water. It has its own characteristics, the main of which are density, heaviness, cold. (Heat is considered to be the property of fire.) Saliva is also water, which is why taste is associated with it.
Earth, unlike water, which has fluidity, is the densest and heaviest of the elements. The smell is considered as belonging to solid particles - being separated from the bodies, they are captured by the olfactory organ.
There are many mudras that allow you to restore the harmony of all elements and thereby the unity of the very existence of man.
Mudra of Heaven
Since the sky occupies an upper position in relation to the earth, then for a person this mudra is associated with his upper "component" - the head. It affects the subtle element - ether. Accordingly, the mudra of Heaven regulates the inner hearing of a person, and is also intended for those suffering from ear diseases or hearing impairments.
Execution technique. The middle finger is bent so that the pad touches the base of the thumb. The large one presses the bent middle one. The other fingers remain straight without tension.
The mudra of the wind
It affects the second of the above elements - air, which also determines the degree of adequate response of the nerve endings of the body. A violation of the proportion of this element makes it difficult for a person to move and makes sensations painfully sharp. The mudra of the Wind is also used for rheumatism, twitching of the neck and head. They alternate it with the wise Life.
Execution technique. You need to reach the base of your thumb with the pad of your index finger. The index finger sticks slightly with the thumb. The other fingers remain straight and relaxed.
The mudra of fire
Allows you to restore spiritual clarity, and, accordingly, the ability to see and visually perceive objects. In Buddhism, the light of fire is a symbol of wisdom. This is a mystical unity with God, the transformation of nature. Also, in different traditions, the test of human virtue is associated with fire.
Execution technique. The index and thumb must be connected in such a way that a ring is formed. Keep your other fingers extended.
Mudra of water
Life on Earth is impossible without water. Water is the basis of the human body. Therefore, it is quite understandable that this mudra is fixed for blood, as well as mucus. An excess of the latter leads to diseases of those organs where it accumulates. Mucus can appear as excess contents in the stomach, liver, and intestinal tract. It accumulates in pulmonary diseases, when phlegm is formed. According to all Eastern beliefs, an excess amount of fluid leads to an energetic blockage of the body.
Execution technique. With the little finger of the right hand, we touch the base of the thumb, with which the little finger is slightly pressed. The left hand clasps the right hand from below. The left thumb is located on the right thumb.
Mudra of the Earth
The earth, as the primary element from which our body is built, determines the type of personality and a person's susceptibility to certain diseases. Bones, muscles, organs of smell are formed from the elements of the earth. The strength of the spirit and its ability to maintain integrity are related to it. This mudra is aimed at strengthening the normal psychophysical state, counteracting mental weakness, stress. In addition, it also has a pronounced protective effect - protection from external energy influences.

All of these gestures have their own special meaning. It only manifests itself when the fingers interact.
Above, I have already said what each finger means. In India, I was told about another of their meanings. The thumb is consciousness and infinity. Every time a particular mudra is chosen, the thumb turns you to infinity. You seem to be returned to the original state, when the harmony was not disturbed. The index finger is a sign of creation, the creation of man and the physical body. It means that the Creator's energy is manifested and realized in a specific person. When you connect your thumb and forefinger in a ring, you restore the gap between everything and your self. The middle finger means the separation of the personal "I", the emergence of a sense of separation and separation. Nameless - alienation, as well as a world of illusion. Finally, the little finger is the sum of all deeds, both good and bad. The secret of the fingers was revealed to me in Tibet. Looking at the Buddhist monk who was telling me about them, I thought that he probably knew where the path to the light runs, Especially after the Dalai Lama passed by ...

The middle finger corresponds to such a basic element as Akash (Ether), which personifies the exit from psychic darkness, curiosity, a tendency to introspection and deep thoughtfulness. Subtle perception of the Akash element occurs through touch. This element, glowing with pure color sea wave, in the yoga tradition associated with Sada-Shiva, her bija "Ham". At a subtle level, mudra controls our communication and creativity.
Turn to face east. Sit on a comfortable (medium firm) rug. Get into a meditative pose. Cover your eyelids and look in front of you. Put your hands together - put the right hand with the back on the left, connect the thumbs, and point the middle finger of the left hand to the center of the right palm. Place your folded hands between the collarbones - this is how you concentrate on the Vishuddha chakra.
Breathe in through your nose, relaxing your stomach. Imagine how the stomach itself, without your participation, is filled with air and the forces of the etheric element. The balloon in your belly swells. When a full inhalation occurs, the diaphragm will completely drop, which means that the air has reached the lowest parts of the lungs, and the forces of the etheric element are concentrated in the hands.
Hand movements begin in the larynx and further up to the bridge of the nose. Fingers should be free, breathing even, calm.
Meditation on this mudra can tell you how to correctly solve the tasks before you. Focus on the life situation that you want to turn to a favorable coincidence for you. Feel that your spiritual capabilities are unobstructed. Imagine that you have brought to a logical conclusion what you are doing now: finished building a house, finished writing a book, transplanted it into a new flowerpot favorite plant... Imagine the result you are striving for. Turn to your inner self, to your inner wisdom. Trust that the initiative, which is symbolized by the middle finger, will push you to solve any problems, put the right plan of action in your hand. The forces are rapidly arriving, and you feel that you will spend them as intended.
Gradually, when you bring the performance of these mudras up to five, and then up to ten minutes, the channel of subtle sensory perception (tanmatra) will open, along which the energy, as if "along the steps" of the chakras, will begin to pulsate from the bottom up, a shine in the eyes will appear.
Hatha yoga: the creation of the soul and body
Each person is able to shape his life as he wishes and make it very meaningful and fruitful.
Man is, first of all, the creator of his soul and his body. Help yourself to gain confidence and self-control - and the perception of your own body will change. Hatha yoga practice will help you to feel your body better and achieve a more harmonious spiritual life through the physical plane. You will learn to master the body perfectly, get rid of stiffness and awkwardness - the movements will become more precise and coordinated. Peace and tranquility will descend on you, resistance to stress and a feeling of pristine harmony of spirit and body will appear.
Gestures that are described in ancient texts always carry a certain symbolism. Put semantic coloring in every movement, do not just mechanically repeat all the "wisdoms", but try to feel their energy. Maybe then you will feel that you have stopped one step away from wisdom?
Pose in harmony with breathingYoga begins with an inner attunement to health, harmony and empowerment. There are different ways for this, the simplest of which is the correct position of the body. Transfer the experience that you received while performing meditative asanas to performing vajarasana (Fig. 37) - postures when your body is in the "sitting on heels" position.
This asana symbolizes the inviolability of the Law (Dharma) of the Buddha. Vajrayana Buddha is a symbol of the purity of Enlightenment and the Law. He is depicted sitting in clothes white with a vajra in his right hand at the heart and with a bell in his left hand at the thigh.
Translated from Sanskrit, the name of this pose literally means "lightning", "diamond", "steel", since the vajra is an ancient weapon similar to a metal arrowhead. It was this weapon, according to legends, that the deity of rain and lightning Indra used. Lightning is considered to be the spark struck by Indra's arrow. This asana helps to understand and improve your psychic abilities.
Turn to face east. Sit on a comfortable (medium firm) rug. Get on your knees, heels together, big toes touching each other. Connect your knees and cross your feet:
For men: the right foot is on top.
For women: the left foot is on top.
Now lower yourself slowly onto your heels without separating them. Move your center of gravity to your knees and ankles. The back, neck and head are one straight. The muscles are not tense, the shoulder girdle is relaxed, the gaze is directed straight ahead - do not raise or lower your chin. Place your hands on your knees so that your pinky, ring, middle and index fingers are together, and your thumb is in an arbitrary position.
Be careful not to slouch. You should not have any tension or pain. The next day or a few days later, as you perform this pose, you will realize that you have made progress and can now begin to control your breathing. It should be calm and natural.
Breathe only through your nose, concentrating on the sound and sensations of the air entering your lungs. This will help you focus on the breathing process and stop the flow of obsessive thoughts.
The state of asana-jaya comes only when you achieve victory over the asana, that is, the meditative posture has been mastered so much that you will have a feeling of harmony, physical lightness and inner peace.
Prana fillingV Ancient India temple dancers were taught that prana is the true source of subtle energy, it cannot be divided into components or described in words.
Prana is filled with a ray of sun that has broken through the clouds, the aromas of prana are exuded by a blossoming bud on your window, prana flows from the gentle tongues of flame in the fireplace. Heaven, man, and earth have their own prana. It determines our capabilities, assumes this or that energy life alignment.

This is a very healthy position of the hands, it is desirable for everyone to master it. But we warn you right away: mudra is not as easy to perform as it might seem at first glance. And you will have to master it slowly until your fingers become more flexible. At first, you may even experience unpleasant painful sensations.
What do the index and middle fingers, remaining freely straightened, symbolize when the gesture of this mudra is formed? The index is associated with the Ajna chakra (the "third eye" located in the center of the forehead) and determines the spiritual values of each of us.
