The ancient science of mantra is based on the knowledge that a sound is a form of energy. The words of a mantra produce the sound which allows you to feel at one with the entire creation.

Unravelling Hasta (Hand) Mudras in Yoga
Unravelling Hasta (Hand) Mudras in Yoga
Mudra is a Sanskrit word for gesture, symbol, or expression. A Mudra in yoga is usually made by the positioning of our fingers and thumb. This creates certain neuronal connections, to impact the flow of subtle energies and balance out the elements within us. Mudras are also used in Indian classical dances to represent and project particular moods, attitudes and feelings. Hasta Mudra (hand gestures/hand yoga) is meant to ensure that health “remains in our hands” !
