Yoga originated in ancient India and has developed into a profound and profound subject through thousands of years of continuous research by practitioners, integrating philosophy, science, and art. It achieves the purposes of exercising body functions, controlling mental emotions, and controlling energy in the body through physical exercise, regulating breathing, and spiritual practices such as meditation and meditation, and further achieves the harmony and unity of body and spirit.
In recent years, yoga has become popular around the world, and various yoga and fitness projects have emerged one after another. The word "yoga" is a household name. But when it comes to finger yoga, not many people know it. Finger yoga, as the name suggests, is yoga that exercises fingers and practices a series of hand gestures for a long time to achieve self-cultivation and treatment of diseases. Since there are many acupuncture points in the hand corresponding to major organs of the body, correct practice of various gestures can stimulate the corresponding acupuncture points, thus having a positive impact on the body. If combined with appropriate breathing movements, eye movements, meditation and prayer, you can also relax your spirit, eliminate fatigue, get rid of negative emotions such as tension, anxiety, depression, and anger, create inner peace, and then achieve coordination between your body and soul. In short, the task of finger yoga is: self-healing and the release of personal energy.
Similarly, there are multiple sets of body postures (or asanas) called "asana" for practitioners to practice continuously. Similarly, finger yoga also has a series of hand gestures called "mudra". The word "mudra" originates from Sanskrit and originally means "mudra", which means making various postures with your fingers. The earliest ones that appeared were the nine mudras, also known as the "Buddhist mudras", which were a symbol of meditation and practice. Today, Indian dance masters and yogis have created dozens of hand gestures with different physiotherapy effects based on this. There are the following common ways to learn:
The first type: "gyan mudra"(wisdom mudra)-the thumb and index finger are gently fastened together, and the other three fingers stretch naturally. This mudra represents the fusion of one's own energy with the energy of the universe, which can calm down quickly. Long-term practice can also restore memory and treat neuroses such as insomnia, depression, and drowsiness.
The second type: "rudra mudra"-the fingertips of the index finger and ring finger are fastened together on the tip of the thumb, pressed against each other, and the rest of the fingers stretch freely. Practicing this gesture has the effects of improving eyesight, improving blood circulation, and treating vein blockages.
The third type: "apan vayu mudra"(heart-strengthening handprint)-bend the index finger, press the palm collum, and the little finger stands upright; then place the fingertips of the middle and ring fingers on the tip of the thumb and connect them with force. (Hands) The functions of this gesture include: strengthening the heart, relieving discomfort caused by various heart emergencies, establishing normal blood pressure, regulating menstruation, purifying the whole body, etc.
Various "mudra" gestures and their effects on the famous finger yoga master Sabrina? Meshko's book contains detailed introductions. Sabrina? Meshko was born into an artistic family in Slovenia. She has been a ballerina, Broadway dancer and professional model. In order to treat her back injury, she began to learn yoga, learning from the famous contemporary Kundalini yoga master yogi? bhajan。It was from him, Sabrina? Meshko learned the basics of finger yoga. She conducted in-depth research on this ancient art and finally wrote it into a book-"Healing mudras-Yoga for Your Hand", which undoubtedly reflects her superb attainments in finger yoga. It has been translated into 14 languages and sells well around the world. Mudra, three minutes a day will bring you health, wealth, success and happiness. Sabrina says so in her book.
In addition to its self-healing properties, finger yoga has other wonderful uses, because it is also a superb gesture art. "Everyone's hands can speak. Whoever masters this art has a magical communication tool." Sabrina said.
She believes that each of our fingers is connected to the major organs of the body, and there is huge energy in them. Everyone's right hand represents the male side of their character, influenced by the sun, while the left hand represents the female side, controlled by the moon. When a person speaks, the subtle differences in the gestures he uses, the body height of his hands-abdomen, chest or shoulders, the curved shape of his fingers, the angle between his thumb and his hands, etc., all reflect the speaker's personality characteristics. Whoever masters finger yoga will master a common language in the world. "The time is ripe for the development of finger yoga." Sabrina said: "Many people are no longer satisfied with superficial interactions. They long for deeper exchanges and want to unleash their unique personalities."
In order to support her views, Sabrina conducted a brief analysis of the common gestures and personalities of several German politicians. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
