Mudras Regulate the Five Elements of the Body*

The Universe is composed of five elements, earth, air, water, fire, and ether. Similarly our body is
also a union of five elements which is represented by our five fingers. Hand mudras regulate these
five elements in our body. The fingers representing five elements are:
the Thumb for Fire;
the Index (Jupiter finger) for Air;
the Middle (Saturn finger) for Ether or Space;
the Ring (Sun finger) for Earth;
the Pinky (Mercury finger) for Water.

How to perform hand mudras

Mudras in general are actions of hands and fingers that can be performed at any time in any way,
like sitting, standing, walking or travelling. So there's no need to devote a special time to perform a
mudra, but the maximum benefit is by doing it in sitting posture, especially in sukhasana (easy
pose), vajrasana, or padmasana. (See photos, L to R.) If you have constriants of time you can even
perform them in installments.

Timing and duration for mudras

In the initial phase mudras should be performed for at least 10 minutes and then can be extended
to 30 minutes to 1 hour. It is not necessary to leave all your normal work for 1 hour to perform
mudras as it can be done at any time, any place, and in any posture, even if you can't perform all at
one stretch you can practice in 2-3 installments.

Mudras are very powerful. If practiced regularly, you'll experience the health benefits. (See
