This new, comprehensive, fully illustrated guide to the ancient art of Mudras offers an extremely practical and inspiring overview of how to use subtle yogic hand gestures to revitalize every aspect of life. In this beautifully designed guide to the ancient art of Mudras—an often overlooked Eastern practice that involves performing specific hand gestures to direct subtle energy and promote health and well-being—readers will discover how to integrate more than 60 Mudras into their daily lives and/or their yoga and meditation practices to enhance vitality and inner peace. Following introductory chapters that lay the foundations of Mudras, the six central chapters explain why and how to perform the Mudras themselves. Each chapter is dedicated to a different part of the hand and its corresponding element: Fire (thumb), Air (index finger), Ether (middle finger), Earth (ring finger), and Water (little finger).
