Slide 2 : www.Mudravigyan.com 2 WHAT ARE MUDRAS THEIR USE IN THERAPY A SCIENTIFIC LOOK

TATVA YOGA MUDRA VIGYAN : www.Mudravigyan.com 3 TATVA YOGA MUDRA VIGYAN TATVA in Sanskrit means an element. It refers to the elements of which this body is made or the five building blocks viz. Energy, Wind, Ether, Solid matter and Liquid matter. YOGA is commonly & erroneously understood to be body postures which promote better, nay, near perfect health. Actually that is only one branch of Yoga. Yoga essentially means the SUM TOTAL of anything. The sum total of human life, is not only perfect physical health but physical, mental, spiritual and social health in totality . The different types of Yoga are but different chapters of this “sum total” of knowledge. MUDRA in Sanskrit means a seal, a symbol, a posture made by fingers or hands. VIGYAN similarly would mean science – a methodical, analytical, logical study of the subject. Thus TATVA YOGA MUDRA VIGYAN (Mudra Vigyan) could be defined as: “ The disciplined science of finger and hand postures dealing with the elements forming the body.”

THE NEED FOR MUDRA VIGYAN : www.Mudravigyan.com 4 THE NEED FOR MUDRA VIGYAN Our body is a unique creation of nature. The ‘Supreme Authority’ is the BRAIN controlling each and every activity necessary for the perfect functioning of this marvel of nature Over and above this the brain has to defend the body from it’s natural enemies. It is essential that all information to/from each and every organ is effectively conveyed. There should be NO communication gaps Bad habits and misuse of equipment provided, are the saboteurs. These damage the communication lines from the brain to the various organs. The communication lines are the nerves. They become tense. The result is called “Nervous Tension” Mudra Vigyan helps restore the tension in the nerves to the default value, messages start flowing smoothly, the “BRAIN can give clear solutions and the organs can comply effectively. Dealing with nerves Mudra Vigyan is a neural science

HOW MUDRAS WORK : www.Mudravigyan.com 5 HOW MUDRAS WORK Music is sweet only when the tension in the instrument’s strings is correct. This tension can be corrected by tightening the string end on a peg. Similarly, the music of life is sweet only when the tensions in the body’s nerves are correct. Nature has provided the bodies with similar fixtures at the end of the body’s extremities – the hands and the feet. Just by folding different fingers in different manners, at different joints and to different extents, different tensions can be provided to different nerves to bring them to their default tensions. When further required, even the position of the hands is specified to increase or decrease the values. Throughout the life of the body, as it ages or it changes shape, nature maintains and keeps correcting the default tension values required by each nerve. This is done by suitably changing the shape of the fingers and hands.

Element Representation : www.Mudravigyan.com 6 Element Representation Any living body is made of 5 distinct ELEMENTS (building blocks) : FIRE WIND ETHER EARTH WATER Several ancient health systems are based on the concept of the balance of the five elements. Indian Medical science according to Ayurved and metaphysics affirm that distortion or impairment of the 5 elements create outer disturbance and inner sickness in the body. The 5 fingers of the hands represent these 5 elements : The Thumb symbolises the Fire The Forefinger symbolises the Wind The Middle finger symbolises the Ether The Ring finger symbolises the Earth The Little or Small finger symbolises the Water

Energy Conservation : www.Mudravigyan.com 7 Energy Conservation Finger tip are free energy discharge points. When the fingers are used to form Mudras, different free energy discharge points come into contact. Prana (energy) is redirected back into the body. They form a simple psycho-neural lock, to redirect energy, moving from brain to fingers and back again. The redirected energy traveling through the nerves stimulates the various chakras. Keeping the hands on the knees stimulates the Gupta Nadi and makes the energy start from the Mooladhara Chakra. Mudras provides a tension on the nerves to soothe and relax them and function at peak efficiency. Because the Mudras work on the nerves, they are a NEURAL SCIENCE similar to Acupressure and Acupuncture.
