MudrasA Mudra is a sacred gesture made with hands and is capable of leading to different states of consciousness. Mudras usually performed by hand, but there are also mudras that are made with the eyes, body, or through breathing techniques. The origin of mudras is a mystery, mudras can be found in different traditions from around the world and in Hindu, Buddhist, Christian and leaving many ancient cultures represented in statues and paintings. Podem not really attribute the origin of mudras to a particular tradition or religion. Though probably there are traditions such as Hindu or Buddhist, who have worked and experimented with these long mystical gestures. In this chapter we discuss various mudras, how to use and how to incorporate into our lives.
The hands are an area reflects the whole body. Not only that, but different cultures different meanings attributed to each area of the hand. For example, in the culture of China, each finger corresponds to the meridian that passes by. So, seeing it from this point of view, if with the thumb and index finger I do is create a loop, joining two meridians that produce a certain effect of energy. But this is not the only explanation, much less, the fingers also represent the five elements, five chakras, reflex zones of the body such as organs, planets and constellations, aspects of personality, etc.. As you can see for each mudra there are multiple interpretations, which makes the use of mudras is even more mysterious.
Probably the most widespread use of mudras is in meditation, but also have other uses, such as healing. On the subject of Reiki, we can have a patient who comes to us with a sore back, then we apply Reiki special emphasis usually on the back. But others, we can prescribe a specific mudra bad back, so that you practice during the week. In this way therapy is more effective and continuous.

There mudras that have a healing effect, other mudras are instead more focused on meditation, mysticism and inner growth. We can do a mudra while watching TV or while doing other things, but I think it's better to spend some time to be quiet and solitude and enjoy truly perceive the effect of a mudra. Ideally, sit in our meditation position, building the mudra and remain between 10 and 15 minutes doing the mudra, breath and relax. We can also acomparñar mudras visualizations, positive affirmations and symbols of Reiki.
