The post Gyan Mudra Benefits And Side Effects (Vaayu Vardhak Mudra) appeared first on Litairian.

Yoga’s roots can be traced back to India over 5,000 years ago. The term yoga was initially quoted in ancient holy texts called the Rig Veda. Yoga is one of the 6 schools of philosophy in Hinduism. Yoga is also an important part of Jainism, Buddhism, and their meditation practices.

What is Yoga Mudra – Hand Gesture

Have you ever meticulously observed Lord Buddha? The hands of Lord Buddha resting in meditation are always in a unique manner. This state of the hands is called Yoga Mudra/ Hasta Mudra in yoga. In English, they are called Hand Gestures. Many hand gestures are also used widely in Indian dancing cultures such as Kathak, Bharatanatyam, Mohiniattam, Kathakali, Kuchipudi, Gotipua, etc.

These hand gestures/ mudras created by curling the hands in various ways express the goal of the practitioner. These mudras help the practitioner to be active in his/her goal. Mudras also stimulate the innate and dormant energy of the practitioner’s body, mind, and soul. Presently, the whole world has trusted and accepted the significance of yoga. Indeed, the world included yoga in alternative medicine systems like acupressure and acupuncture.

Unfortunately, there are no or very few scientific pieces of evidence found that support the benefits of yoga and mudras and their effect on the body. But you are very well aware that Indians have claimed these benefits for thousands of years. Perhaps, medical science still needs to examine more or study with modern equipment the effects of mudra on the body and mind.

Variation of Yoga Mudra

Ancient yoga, basically, there are two types of mudras.

1. In the first type, we need to bend/ touch our fingers and thumb to get the desired results.
2. In the second type, we need to bend the wrist, fingers, and thumb too.

Many yoga mudras symbolize five elements in the body. According to ancient Indian culture, our body is made of five Panchabhut (elements). These mudras help to balance, reduce or activate five elements for a healthy body and mind.

5 Elements And Mudra

1. Air Element: In Ayurveda, the Air/Wind/Vayu element is studied and considered the most important element in the human body among the five elements. Air represents creative thinking, knowledge, skill, intellect, intelligence, and mental health. The air element is directly related to the Heart Chakra (Anahata Chakra). Our index finger represents the air element.
2. Either Element: Either/Sky/Space/Akasha element is vastly distributed in the Universe. This element is chiefly considered to be idle due to its vastness. Either express the total consciousness, awareness, mindfulness, perception, and cognizance of the body. Either directly helps to build the bond of the practitioner with the Divine. This element is directly related to the Throat Chakra (Vishuddha Chakra). Our middle finger represents Either element.
3. Earth Element: Earth/Prithvi is the heaviest element out of the other four elements. Earth represents the overall physical structure of the body. The earth element is directly connected to the mass, fat, tissues, bones, shape, weight, power, and odor of the body. The earth element is associated with Basic Chakra (Muladhara Chakra). Our ring finger represents the earth element.
4. Fire Element: Fire/Agni is the fourth and most powerful element of the body. Fire element represents hormones, growth, metabolism, glands, digestive system, and temperature of the body. Water and Fire elements work exactly opposite to each other. Our thumb represents the fire element. The fire element is associated with Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipur Chakra).
5. Water Element: Water/Jal/Varun is the fifth and one of the softest elements of the body. 70% of our body is made up of water. The water element is directly connected to the joints, skin, tissues, and taste. Our small/ pinky finger represents the water element. Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana Chakra) is associated with the water element.
