Hand Mudra

There are five basic elements that make up every single living being – air, earth, ether, fire and water. There are times when there are disruptions within these five elements, which can lead to various difficulties in life such as illnesses and disease. Mudras are quite effective at healing the disruptions. By releasing electromagnetic currents in the body, mudras are able to give balance to all the elements, and bring back harmony to one’s life.
