How to use our hands to boost energy and spirituality.

Man differs from animals, not only for their intelligence and creativity, but also your hands and the ability to do things, to show intent to communicate ideas and feelings.

The brain has more nerve endings related to the hands than any other body part. Hands can be used to bless or curse, build or destroy, hurt or heal.

When we join hands intertwined fingers, the thumb remains in the upper right or left, and this tells us what our brain hemisphere dominant. Psychology tells us that if the right thumb is the higher, means that logic and reason prevail in our lives. If the left thumb the greater, then are intuition and emotion. When put together the fingers of both hands, we are closing a circuit with our mind that is believed assistsin us to think more clearly. When we think deeply, instinctively join the tips of his fingers. If we forget something and we need to remember, also instinctively touch our forehead with the fingertips.

gestures such as clapping, shaking hands and raise your thumb permeate our daily lives, but most of us know what their true origin. However, the importance of this code language is such that no part of our most sacred ceremonies. Looking at the hands of the priest during the celebration of Mass, we will notice how they take certain positions in a clear invocation of God. Rites and cults of all ages have incorporated the gestures to their celebrations. But perhaps in the Indian subcontinent where this unique choreography reaches its highest development and complexity.

Many of us have observed that the representations of Buddha, it adopts certain hand gestures. In these positions are called "mudras" "Original" seal "in Sanskrit, -. But what are they? What is its significance?

Divine energy that will sustain life, is governed by our chakras. The power of the heart, head and hand. The heart has the energy, the brain decides what to do and how to do it with your hands and how to direct this energy to the site of action. The human microcosm is a reflection or mirror of God's ultimate creation, the universe. Thus, the human being is conceived as the universe, with five basic elements: space or ether, Fire, Air, Water and Earth.

Science of the mudras is based on these 5 elements. The imbalance or poor coordination between these elements cause mental, emotional and physical. Therefore, the balance and timing of them, are the secrets to good health and the evolution of being. God gave us the strength and ability to solve problems. All you need to be healthy and happy in our body. Most of these solutions are in our own hands (literally). Mudras are the secret of health in our hands and fingers (mudras are performed with the help of the fingers).

The five elements are represented in each of our fingers. Thumb represents the fire or the sun, the index finger represents air or wind, the middle finger represents the sky or in space, the ether or the ether, the ring finger represents earth, or physical and is little water or emotional , the desire body. Our hands are the department of health control of our body. Emit the energy of the chakras, cleansing and divine energies. With the proper use of this power, he can heal even the most mysterious diseases. With your hands, you can transfer energy to any place or person but is physically far from us, the power to help us get what we want, to protect us from evil, they will cure and more.

Although its origin is uncertain, is in India where they seem to be more firmly rooted. It is often seen in representations of their gods, have been popularized through the dances, which are an indispensable element of theatrical choreography, are practiced in Tantric rituals and play a role in Buddhism, where they have a only sense magic and ritual, through which countless known mudras. The most publicized images of Gautama Buddha often represent six of the most famous, although it is believed that he revealed another 64.

Yogis know that by certain postures of the body, were revealed many moods and certain gestures influenced positively on the medical system of Ayurveda mente.El also takes into account, recommending his practice to way energy stimuli.

But not in India alone can discover. In Japan, for example, were driven by the Shingon school of Buddhism, which called In (seal), increasing the number of gestures in the hundreds. Also emerged in China, due also to the influence Buddhist with the name of Yin (seal). At present, the Chinese mudras are associated with the practice of the disciplines of Qi Gong and Tai Chi.

is no coincidence that both Japanese and Chinese translated "mudra" to "seal", recovering the original meaning the term had in ancient Sanskrit: action and effect sealing. In this sense, it is easy to see the symbolism that lies behind some of our actions. For example, when we want to give a decision at a particular weight or reach an agreement with another person. But we can also make agreements with ourselves, our inner strengths and Universal Energy or Cosmic. And it is the latter greater role of the mudras: connect with the divine. This symbolism is evident if we observe the sacred gesture is best known Hindu tradition: the chin-mudra: the thumb represents cosmic consciousness, while the index represents the individual or human.

Mudras are gestures associated with certain techniques of meditation, especially some yoga classes. While these positions may involve the whole body, the concept has become popular in relation to the exclusive use of the hands. In this sense, the practice consists in joining the fingers together in many different ways and exerting different pressures. These movements help to concretize some states or processes of consciousness. Although not much skill is needed for these purposes, to be associated with meditation techniques required serenity, concentration and perseverance. So if someone needs to be forgiven, repeat with conviction the Varada-Mudra, a gesture of granting a wish or mercy. And it is said that over time, will served its purpose. But the mudras not only affect certain states of our mind or our spirit, also act on a physical level. For example, if you have liver or stomach problems can solve them if you practice Mushtimudra.

thousands of years ago, mudras were used with the mantra and laid down the guidelines for energy. The energy is manifested by invoking through the chakras, energy centers of the body. We use both hands and fingers to perform the mudras, but on a voluntary basis through our body and not through involuntary physiological processes. The demonstration of energy occurs with the proper use of our hands, body, mouth and eyes, which are directly, and the power to invoke sealed. The hands are powerful tools for defense, health, communication, physical and spiritual and above all, to express his creation. Mudras used to guard against the spiritual forces hostile to balance the energy of the chakras and organs to cure the ills potential for energy exchange between the embodied beings or not, high spiritual contact with the Ascended Masters and angels, to express will and as a means of communication. Mudras are gestures that encourage certain sectors of our brain that connect us with ourselves, our energy and universal energy for their own benefit. The hands are like magic wands that make the unit and how the divine energy to manifest physically.

If we face for the first time practicing a Mudra, might notice that our fingers are stiff and hands get tired quickly. Hence, concentration and meditation are necessary to release tension that make them less mobile.
