Mudra is a hand gesture or seal which is a symbol of
energy. It is the most beautiful form on expression by the use of thumb and
fingers. It is used
as the non verbal form of communication in Various Indian classical dances like
Kathak and Bharat Natyam. It also works as a therapy for the body and mind by
balancing the ratio of five elements (panch tattvas) when done with hands.
Mudras are supposed to be a part of Tattva Yoga –the science of elements. Along
with Asanas mudras are employed along with Yogic Meditation to energize the
Chakras and calm the mind. To increase an element the thumb is pressed at the
base of the finger tip, to decrease the finger is folded at the base of thumb
and generally the back of the finger is pressed by the thumb, to balance the
element the finger tip and the thumb tip are joined together.
