MUDRA

DEFINITION: Mudras are hand positions

ANALOGY: Like opening a “file” in the body’s “computer”

HOW IT WORKS: The body displays certain information based on energy flow between specific acupuncture meridians of fingers

FUNCTION: Categorizes information to facilitate diagnosis

MUDRA

HOW TO DO IT:

1) Palpate the PRM on the thigh or shoulder of the patient.

2) As the patient performs position one, determine if the PRM ceases or continues.

3) If PRM continues, the patient’s body does not consider this category of information to be important as a cause of pathology at this moment in time.

4) If PRM stops, this is equivalent to a weak muscle in applied kinesiology.

5) If PRM stops, note which mudra it is, and proceed according to this new information.

6) Proceed similarly through the succeeding mudras.

Position one

Position one

STRUCTURE

• Somatic dysfunction – cranium, spine, or extremities

• Fracture, Sprain, Strain

• Scars from surgery or injury

• Cirrhosis of liver or Pulmonary fibrosis

• Thyroid inflammation

Position two

Position two

METABOLISM

• Dysfunction of liver, pancreas, etc.

• Imbalance of autonomic nervous system –

usually sympathetic dominance

• Imbalance of function of immune system –

usually allergies

• Congestion of lymphatic system and/or spleen

Position three

Position three

• EMOTIONS – Touch xiphoid process while holding mudra three to elicit indication of emotional disturbance with return of PRM.

• ENDOCRINE – Touch bridge of nose while holding mudra three to elicit indication of endocrine disturbance with return of PRM.

• BRAIN – Touch forehead just above hairline while holding mudra three to elicit indication of CNS disturbance with return of PRM.

Position four

Position four

• Toxicity – xenobiotics, heavy metals, pesticides

petrochemicals, some pharmaceutical drugs

• Circulation of blood is compromised

Position five

Position five

MIASM – In homeopathy, an energy pattern acquired through prolonged contact, as in a family situation, or through environmental influences; that pattern overlaying the essential healthy pattern with which the individual entered this incarnation; thus, creating a tendency towards a particular pattern of disease. Often seen in families; occurs for up to seven generations. Example: tuberculinum miasm, resulting from tuberculosis in (distant) relative tending to cause sinusitis, bronchitis, asthma, depression, asthenia, etc. in living person. This mudra usually takes precedence.

Position six

Position six

SHOCK – Usually from a single incident (ex: rape)

or series of like incidences (ex: incest) that can

be emotional, physical, or usually a combination

of the two. Commonly from past lives. When

this mudra is positive, it usually takes precedence

over other adverse influences and must be

attended to before other healing can happen.

Position seven

Position seven

GEOMAGNETIC STRESS – From fault lines in

the earth, underground running water, or power

lines near or inside the house. Look for such

disturbances where the individual spends most

of their time, as in bedroom or at work place.

Computers can generate this mudra for sensitive

individuals.

CAUSAL CHAINING

DEFINITION:

THE PRIORITY THAT THE BODY DISPLAYS OF ONE MUDRA OVER THE OTHERS.

ONE CAN PERFORM CAUSAL CHAINING FOR ORGAN DYSFUNCTIONS, SOMATIC DYSFUNCTIONS, OR ANY INFLUENCE ON THE SYSTEM IN ADDITION TO MUDRAS.

CAUSAL CHAINING

HOW TO DO CAUSAL CHAINING:

1) Have the patient perform in sequence any two mudras that caused the PRM to stop in order to determine which of the two mudras has priority in the body’s dysfunction.

2) If the PRM stops, the body indicates that the first mudra of the sequence has priority over the second mudra in the sequence.

3) If the PRM continues, the first of the pair of mudras tested does not have priority over the second mudra.

4) Always test the reverse sequence in which you should expect the opposite result compared to the first sequence.

5) Proceeding with pairs of mudras, test against the mudra with priority any remaining mudras that caused the PRM to stop until a complete chain of priorities is developed.
