What is mudra?

So what is mudra, and what effect does it have on the body?

Mudra- This is yoga of the fingers, a special position of the fingers folded in a certain way and has a healing effect. These gestures were used in India as a way to heal both body and spirit. The touch of the tip of a finger to another, as suggested in the mudra, helps to control the energy flows passing through the human body, and thereby directly affect the state of organs and systems.

Performing healing mudra yoga for the fingers does not require a special setting or room. They can be done during a break at work, walking in the park, sitting in front of the TV. The total time for training - 45 minutes - can be divided into 2,3 or shorter segments. When performing mudra, both hands are necessarily involved. The fingers are not tense.

Method of execution: the index finger is bent so that it touches the base of the thumb with the pad of the end phalanx. At the same time, fold the middle, ring and thumb with the pads, the little finger remains straightened. RULES FOR IMPLEMENTING WISE. Body position Before performing the mudra, perform “ablution” (placing your hands in front of the third chakra, rub them together ten times). This will help the flow of energy to flow freely through your hands. Practical tip: When fingers touch each other, the pressure should always be very light and the hands should be kept relaxed. Mudras can be done in any position: sitting, standing, lying down and even while moving. The body should be relaxed and felt as one. It is important not to feel stiffness, constriction, because this will interfere with the normal flow of energy. Mudras are designed to relieve stress, help us delve into our own consciousness and heal. If you are sitting, keep your back straight; legs should not be crossed. Bend your fingers as required to perform a particular mudra. When connecting them, press evenly with enough force to feel the energy flow. Place and time of practice Mudra can be practiced anytime, anywhere. But they help best if you are in a good mood and a friendly environment. Then the energy will flow freely, without interference. Some serious practitioners do mudras a few minutes before going to sleep and just before getting out of bed. But in reality it is not that important. You can do them at any time. Proceed in mastering mudras gradually, do not force events. You will need a little patience. Practice mudras regularly, but do not try to quickly master everything. Of course, it is tempting to do just that, but this approach will not be beneficial. Feel how mudras affect your inner state. Do not expect miracles, so that then, when nothing happens, you will be disappointed. The changes you will experience will be all-round. When your mind is healed, your body will respond accordingly and you will feel better and better. The mind affects the work of the internal organs. It is necessary to free your consciousness, and this may take a certain amount of time. Be persistent. Don't give up your practice. The mind will heal slowly but surely, you will experience many amazing experiences, and the healing that will eventually come will be complete and irrevocable. In addition, whenever the mind experiences a shock, there is discord in the body, therefore, we may need certain complexes of mudras at different stages of life. Soon, as you practice the mudras regularly, you will find yourself embarking on an epic journey inward. The energy of the chakras starts to work, the mood improves, a new sense of peace comes, and you are healed. Ultimately, you free yourself from ordinary, worldly ambitions. You get everything you need in everyday life, effortlessly. What previously seemed unattainable is no longer a problem. Opinions differ as to how long the mudra should be kept. Some recommend practicing one gesture for 45 minutes daily. If this is not possible, divide the exercise into three parts, 15 minutes each. However, this rule may not be adhered to. The main thing is that you do the mudras regularly. Make this practice a part of your daily routine. You can stop the process at the moment when you feel that the effect has been achieved. You may feel tired at first, but this is a good sign. When, after a certain time, which can be very different, you feel healthy, vigorous and full of strength, then you will believe that the mudra is doing its job. Correct breathing plays a vital role in the practice of mudras. When we exhale completely, we are freed not only from carbon dioxide, but also from wasted energy. Slightly lengthen the pause after inhalation and exhalation. When you need to calm down, slow down your breathing, and when you need to cheer up, increase it. If breathing is deep, slow and smooth, then it has a harmonizing and restorative effect. Breathing Rules Breathing can be right and wrong. Unfortunately, most people don't breathe as they should. We fit into skinny jeans, we cram ourselves into a skirt one size smaller than what we need. What do we end up with? Improper chest breathing. With such breathing, it is mainly the upper part of the chest that expands, and it is mainly associated with the work of the muscles that lift the shoulders, clavicle, scapula and ribs. Accordingly, the volume of the lungs on inspiration increases slightly. Keep in mind that lifting the shoulders, collarbones and shoulder blades requires a lot of effort; the muscles involved in breathing become too tense and therefore tire quickly. As a result, during upper thoracic breathing, the volume of air entering the lungs during inhalation is minimal, and the tension of the respiratory act is maximal. This leads to rapid breathing, too high a position of the larynx and tension on the vocal cords. Some people can breathe in the so-called lateral manner, in which the chest expands mainly to the sides and the middle segments of the lungs are predominantly filled with air. However, at the same time, the lower abdomen is strongly drawn in, which harms the work of the digestive organs. However, this breathing is healthier and less tiring. Men often breathe with their belly - this is the so-called abdominal breathing, when the diaphragm works most intensively, and the abdominal muscles help it. With such breathing, a kind of massage of the internal organs is carried out: the liver, spleen, intestines, but the upper and middle parts of the lungs are practically not involved. Thus, the most correct is mixed breathing. It is it that is complete and most effective. When doing mudras, try to breathe correctly. Exhale and hold your breath to the point where you really want to inhale. Then inhale slowly through your nose for a count of nine. At the same time, control that on the count of "one, two, three" the air goes into the stomach (the stomach is slightly rounded, growing), on the count of "four, five, six" - into the chest (the chest expands), on the count of "seven, eight , nine ”, the shoulders will rise, and the stomach will be slightly pulled in. You get a full breath. A full exhalation must be done in the same sequence: the abdominal muscles relax, the chest falls, the shoulders fall. Try this breathing practice for several weeks. Within a month, you can bring the number of full breaths to 10-12. It is best to practice proper breathing on an empty stomach. Breathing Exercises to Develop Correct Breathing 1. Sit comfortably in a chair. Inhale deeply and exhale slowly through the nose, marking the duration of the exhalation by the hour with the second hand or by rhythmic counting. As you exercise, your exhalation should be lengthened by about 2-3 seconds each week. However, it is not necessary to lengthen it through force, while suffocating. 2. Sitting on a chair, inhale intermittently through your nose. You should have 3-4 breaths with small breaths in between, each breath being deeper than the last. Then hold your breath for 2-4 seconds and exhale quickly and forcefully through your wide-open mouth. Repeat 3 times. Breathing techniques according to the yoga system Yoga contains a great variety of pranayamas - methods of controlling breathing. They are more than one thousand years old, and in most cases, the newly invented breathing techniques are based precisely on the ancient yogic knowledge, since correct breathing is one of the five fundamental principles of yoga. 1. Sit on the floor, straighten your back, cross your legs. For better concentration, you can close your eyes while doing these exercises. Stretch your arms in front of you and close the lock. Inhale deeply and slowly, while pulling your shoulders back and touching your chest with your hands. Returning to the starting position, exhale gently. Do it 6-10 times. 2. Sit on the floor with your legs crossed, raise your arms to chest level and close your palms. Inhale deeply and smoothly, slowly raising your arms above your head. As you lower your arms, exhale gently. Do it 6-10 times. 3. Lie on your stomach with your arms extended along your torso. Bend over by lifting your arms, legs, head and chest while taking a deep breath. Returning to the starting position, exhale gently. Do it 2-5 times. 4. Lie on your back, placing your arms along your torso, palms on the floor, and closing your legs. Sit down slowly while inhaling (you can help yourself with your hands). Straighten your back and inhale smoothly. Leaning on your hands, bend back while taking a deep breath. Returning to the starting position, exhale gently. Do it 3-7 times. 5. Lie on your back, as in the previous exercise, slightly bend your legs. Take a deep breath while lifting your stomach (you can help yourself with your shoulders, but do not lift your feet off the floor). Returning to the starting position, exhale gently. Do it 5-10 times. 6. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms extended in front of you. Begin to breathe in slowly and smoothly while raising your arms. When your arms are above your head, hold your breath for a few seconds and begin to exhale, lowering your arms to the starting position. Do it 7-10 times. 7. Stand with your feet wider than your shoulders. The arms should be tense and extended along the torso. As you inhale, begin to turn your arms back, bringing your shoulder blades together. As you exhale, slowly return to the starting position. Do it 10-15 times. The Basics of Relaxation Psychologists define relaxation as "a state of wakefulness characterized by decreased psychophysiological activity, which is felt either throughout the body or in any of its systems." By activating the activity of the nervous system, relaxation is able to regulate mood and the degree of mental arousal. This can help relieve or relieve stress-induced mental and muscle tension. Experts tested volunteers with sufficient experience in using relaxation techniques. Pulse and blood pressure were measured, electroencephalogram (bioelectrical fluctuations associated with brain activity), oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production, and blood lactate (lactic acid) levels were recorded. The electroencephalogram showed a state of calm, manifested in an increase in the number of alpha waves. During relaxation, the level of lactate in the blood decreased. By the way, after the end of the relaxation, this level remains lowered for some time, and then rather slowly returns to the initial one. This finding is consistent with the experience of many people who claim that after relaxing for a period of time, they feel calm and balanced. Relaxation is something that works within our nervous system. So let's take full advantage of our capabilities. This will make our nervous system so strong that the body will automatically switch from tension to relaxation. Each of us will develop our own personal rhythm of life.
