Sadhguru looks at the science of

mudras and the capability of human

hands to function as a control panel to

everything.

Sadhguru: The word mudra literally means a seal.

It is a certain position of the hand. Mudras are a subtle

science of arranging your body in a certain way. The

way your systems functions can be altered just by

changing the positions of your palm. This is a whole

science by itself which essentially involves the

geometry and circuitry of the body. By holding a

certain mudra, the energies tend to move in a

particular way. In yoga, there are systems where you


In Indianculture, foreverything

theyidentified aparticular

asana,mudra,

breathing

can regulate your breath in a certain way, with certain

counts and proportions. By doing this, you can

pinpoint your energy to any cell in the body if you

want.

Mudras: Opening up thecosmosHands are capable of

many things apart from

eating and doing

physical work. You can

make these hands in

such a way that if you

move it here, you can

make something

happen somewhere else

and pinpoint it

wherever you want it,

because these hands are

the instrument to

everything. This is like

the control panel to

everything.


Either you can keep this human system as a small

little human being or you can enlarge this into a

tremendous possibility. Whichever way it is, the

control panel is still here. If you do the right things

with this system, you can do miraculous things with

life. That will take a lot of exploration, and a lot of

sadhana is involved.

The many kinds of mudrasThere are hundreds of mudras, some for health, some

for wellbeing, some for creating certain other kinds of

processes. For different aspects of life there are

different mudras. In Indian culture, for everything

they identified a particular asana, a mudra, and a

particular kind of breathing, so that a human being

brings out the best within himself. This still lives

everywhere across the culture, but it is being practiced

without the necessary understanding and awareness.

Editors Note: Mystics Musings includes more of

Sadhgurus insights on the human energy system.

Sorry, if you get stuck in practicing mudras, asanas and pranayam techniques, you won't reach anywhere, achieveanything even if you practice it a lifetime. The real purpose behind these is to invoke your consciousness. Therefore it

is not this or that mudra which is important but it is the inner awareness which you reach through it. Once you settlein your consciousness, deeply, the external body postures (asanas), breathing (pranayama) and mudra (bending andor touching of fingers or finger tips) become insignificant.

Gokul 2 years ago> subhashAs sadhguru has told many times, you are talking about some ''consciousness'' which is not in yourexperience yet. There will be scope for assumptions and beliefs only. Let us start to move from what is in ourexperience- body, mind, emotions. Certain mudras with certain breathing pattern will make you feel theenergy flow in a certain way. Start from that, no point in dreaming about something which you hav not yetexperienced.

Makesh 2 years ago> subhashPlease click Mr subash name and see his comments on Sadhguru's previous articles before replying to it. Heis just responding to blogs post with some agenda. He reads the article then try to find out how to criticize andleaves his comments. He is delbratly misunderstanding things to mislead people. So best way is just ignorehim. Its not worth responding to him. Good luck Mr Subhash and keep fooling yourself

Ghajabiram 2 years ago> subhashDear Subhash - In Guru stotram there is a line "Guruve sarva lokanam" - whatever you look (lokam - worldthat which we perceive) or experience is your Guru. Grab any experience and practise which shall take you toa better state than what we were the previous moment. We don't know when a tool will be helpful. "Mrigi"mudra - not to be done more than 5 minutes shall ignite your Agna Chakra and if you perform dhyanaintensely you become what you have been performing dhyana on. At least without intensity this mudraincreases your focus/attention. Learn few mudras to speed up the inner awareness

I'm fortunate to know and practise a few (4-5) mudras. Everything works. My Guru taught me these Mudras. But onlywhen I was hearing Sadhguru Jaggi say this body has the possibility to correct itself just by watching itself, I startedusing these Mudras in combination with dhyana for cleansing the body and healing I started to reap the benefits from

Mudras and asanas, what a straightforward and safe way of bringing out the best in human beings.Wow!!. Imshocked when I think of when and how exactly we lost knowledge of these powerful yet subtle techniques. I mean,they have been there right? so at what point did we just loose the awareness? (im beginning to think what I don'tknow is practically everything!!!)

Sullivan 2 years ago> Gayathri KumarI hope you must have heard about the Yugas. All these knowledge were at the peak during the Satya yuga.But as we approached the Kali yuga people could not understand the intricacies lost their power to understand it. People started involving themselves more on to bakthi and the blind ritualsrather than the scientific aspect of it. Slowly we lost all the knowledge. According to Sadhguru in thisascending Dwapara and Tretayuga we again started reviving this science. Hopefully we will keep it alive for

I'm here to find the real science of Mudra (if any to realise) but in comment section there is war going on between thecommenters. Everybody has rights to think differently. If somebody finds that it has nothing to do with it then its ok...let it go. Let it go whatever people says about you or your followers. It does not changes your belief until youexperience it. Blind faith never makes us liberated because we are already chained with it.

Chary 10 months ago> enlightablePranamams to all.There is no way you can comment on anyone. Everybody trying to explore in their own way when you at notclear on what sadguru said. If you have conflict of understanding what he said , that shows you are not clearon what sadguru said. You need to do proper Sadhana. Guru is like ocean of knowledge. Don't try to get
