Numbness
Naran
Movement Mudra (index and middle fingers touching tip of thumb on both hands) is very good for numbness in extremities, in feet and arms.
For diabetic patients, who have numbness or cold feet, this Mudra will help.
Numbness is because of stagnated blood flow. Therefore, the switch words “MOVE ON” will also help.

Basis of Mudra
Naran
What is the basis of Mudra?
When you touch the tip of a finger with the thumb, you are activating the corresponding element.
When a finger is placed on the base of the thumb, the corresponding element is reduced.
How do you hold the pen? You use the index finger (ignore the thumb as you will be using it for all the Mudras).
You use the pen for writing. Index finger represents thinking mind or rational mind. Thinking is associated with air element. Therefore, index finger represents air element.
Which is the biggest finger of all the five? Middle finger – that’s called the ego finger. Ego means mind.
When middle finger is joined with index finger, you are activating the rational mind or the thinking mind. Mind is represented by middle finger. Thinking is represented by index finger. So they became thinking mind (middle and index fingers together touching thumb). Your thinking or thought process is activated.
If on one side there is thinking, then on another place there has to be emotions. We can’t afford to be without emotions and be like a buffalo isn’t it?
Mind represented by water is emotional mind (middle and ring fingers touching the thumb).
I am explaining about Mudras from mental point of view. We will look later from physical point of view.
If water is there, it has to be in a container. Even our body is a container. Little finger represents earth (container).
When we activate earth finger, we can put on weight. You are building (houses) with earth element.
Body is a house. How is a body constructed?
By earth and water – 70% belongs to water.
What is represented by earth in the body? They are bones, skeletal structure, muscles etc.
Earth means structure. Your structure is given to the body with the earth element. To make pottery, both water and earth is mixed. Then only good parts will come.

Why ring finger represents water element?
Naran
How ring finger doesn’t represent earth?
If ring and middle fingers are activated by pressing them with the tip of the thumb, then urine flow will increase.
By doing it, a particular Mudra is activated and kidney is activated too. That’s why ring finger represents water.
Earth will not move. It is stationery. If earth is represented by ring finger, as per the books, then how can it increase urine flow? It cannot.
While water is moving, earth is non-moving. That’s why I have changed the ring finger into water element.
One more thing, water always represents life and relationships. Exchange of rings happens from the ring finger, when we get married. That’s why it represents water (element).
Activating fire element
Instead of touching the tip of the ring finger with tip of the thumb, keep the ring finger at the base of the thumb. Water flow will reduce.
If water is not distributed – reduced, fire element will increase.
When fire is increased, catabolic activity will take place and is very useful for weight loss. Extra fat will be eliminated.
Considering this fact, don’t do this (Fire) Mudra for 24 hrs continuously and next day check your weight in the weighing machine 🙂

Mudra for surrender
Udana Mudra
It activates the throat chakra that energizes the head. It brings in the clarity of the mind. Apart from that this can be helpful for bad throat condition also.
When you are stuck in a problem situation, be in this Mudra and chant the switch words, “CLIMB CRYSTAL TOGETHER DIVINE”.
To sit regularly for a meditation, even though if it is escapism, be in this Mudra, and you will continue to sit for the meditation.
Surrender
It is also called as Mudra for Surrender.
What is meant by surrender?
Surrender is not inaction. Whatever we are doing we have do it.
You are writing with a pen. Suppose the pen gets a life and says, “I am writing so many things”. Will you accept it? The pen is not supposed to say that and that to you.
Let us say the pen says to you that “I am writing so many things. So many good ideas come to me, when I am writing”. If so, you will break the pen and will go for a new one.
Similarly, surrendering means, the attitude of ownership is relinquished. ‘I am not the doer’ – that attitude should be cultivated. It is the training of the mind. That can be cultivated or trained by being in this Mudra.
Everything is coming from the space. Because of the divine, we are doing something. You are doing the action for the divine, by the power of the divine and with the help of the divine. That attitude has to be ingrained in every part of the brain. For which, this mudra will be very helpful.
You are not the doer – understanding and believing it
How to understand and believe that you are not the doer?
It is not the question of understanding. How to believe we are not the doer, but divine is the doer?
Instructions to do the Mudra: On both the hands, keep the thumb at the base of the little finger (first image) and rest of the fingers covering the thumb (next image).

Humors:
Vata : Air & Space

Kapha : Earth & Water
Take Mudras Seriously for Better Effects
There are five elements – Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. Using these five elements, we can manipulate our life as well as physical problems. To solve physical problems we need perseverance and discipline. We have to sit and do Mudras for a longer period of time and of course we don’t want to do that.
When there is a physical problem, we can improve with help of Mudras. We can also meditate using Mudras. We can also form our own Mudras. If we know how it works then we can form our own Mudras.
What’s so special about Mudras
Mudras are special techniques or locks that are applied in a way that can impact any part our bodies – Pranic, Mental, Emotional and Physical. Like the circulation of the blood, Prana is circulated inside us. We can do Mudras to lock them in any place we want.
What’s the specialty of Mudra in healing practices?
There are many therapies of healing available. All of them are good in some way. However, they focus on one aspect of our body. For example, Allopathic practices concentrates on physical body only. It does not include the mind of the patient into consideration. So that system has side effects.
Neither psychotherapy alone will not work nor can affirmations alone help for physical body problems. Sometimes they do. Though not all the times, for they don’t consider other aspects of human beings.
Homeopathy considers all aspects of human beings. However, it’s a complex system. A few people understand so there is lot of failure too.
Pranic healing and Reiki healing manipulate the Pranic body only. You can do a lot with Reiki as touch healing is applied and thus body pranic body and mind are involved.
The one therapy that combines body, mind and Prana is Mudras

No more liars
Naran
One good advantage of Chin Mudras is, when the opposite person speaks lies, or when you want to escape from a position of speaking lie – however we will always justify a lie, be in this Mudra. It can make a person resist from lying.
If you want to find out whether another person is lying or not, you be in this Mudra. That is why when a person comes and talks to you, you be in this Mudra and smile at him. If he wants to lie then he cannot lie or fortunately he may speak truth also.
However, you should have the courage to know the truth.
Daily, if you be in this Mudra for 25 minutes no lying person will come near you. No cheat can come and approach you.
