BACK MUDRA

Right hand: The thumb, middle finger, and little finger are touching; the index finger and ring finger are extended.

Left hand: Place your thumb joint on the nail of the index finger. Do four times a day for 4 minutes or, against acute complaints, until it has an effect.
This mudra is primarily effective when someone with a weak back has engaged in an activity (for example: garden work or cleaning) that has strained the back too much
and caused painful tensions, or when someone has sat too long in the wrong position. Backaches can have a great variety of causes. Most people have waste deposits and signs of wear, but these don't necessarily have to be painful. A diseased organ
whose nerves run through the spinal column can also cause pain.
Continuous mental strain, fears, meals that are too heavy, too little sleep,
and/or too little exercise are other causes of pain.
This mudra can be even more effective in a position that relieves the
back . When doing so, keep the chin pulled in
a bit so that the neck is stretched. This little bit of tension has an effect
down to the small of the back. After just 20 minutes in this position, the intervertebral disks are optimally nourished once again and the metabolism operates in full swing again. Perhaps you can even do this exercise during your lunch break at the office. Then you can get through the entire day without pain. What you think while you do this is also very important, which is why the image and the affirmation are particularly significant in this position.

APAN VAYU MUDRA - First Aid for heart Attacks

Bend your index finger and let its tip touch the ball of your thumb. At the same time, the tips of the middle and ring fingers touch the tip of your thumb. Extend your little finger.
Do this with each hand. Use as needed until you feel the effect, or practice three times a day for 15 minutes as a course of treatment. This finger position can have a first-aid function when you use it at the first sign of a heart attack, according to Keshav Dev. It regulates many heart complications. In an emergency, it can even have a quicker effect
than placing nitroglycerin (the most frequently used immediate remedy) under the tongue.
Heart attacks, as well as chronic heart complaints, don't just come out of the blue. Instead, they are an indication that a person's lifestyle must be rethought and planned differently. (The Ornish Program has been very successful in this respect.11) This mudra can also be used for the general healing and strengthening of the heart. Heart patients are often so tied up with obligations that they no longer perceive what appears to be "senseless" from the outside. They have no time to relax. They also have a hard time coping with stillness.
something always has to be going on, and they often give so much support
to something or someone at work or during their leisure time there
is no room for their own needs. Yet, it is precisely these quiet moments
that are the ones to nourish our souls. Permit yourself some time for the
rosebud image—even if you barely have any to spare. Perhaps you can listen
to some music—music that brings you a feeling of lightness—while you do so.

BHUDI MUDRA of the Fluid

Place the tip of your thumb and little finger together; extend the other fingers in a
relaxed way. Do this with each hand.
Do as needed, or practice three times a day for 15 minutes as a course of treatment.
More than half our body weight consists of fluids. The Bhudi Mudra helps restore or maintain equilibrium in the fluid balance. It can be used against a dry mouth, eyes that are too dry and burning, or disorders in the kidney and bladder area. It also improves the sense of taste.

HERBAL REMEDY: Bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi L.) heals inflammation
of the bladder, and goldenrod (Solidasgo virgaurea L.) is effective
against pyelitis.

Even physicians have greatly varying opinions when it comes to how much
a person should drink every day. It certainly isn't good to drink too little,
but we also don't feel well when we drink too much (even if it is just water).
I feel good when I drink about 1 to 1.5 quarts of liquid every day. For some
time now, I have been drinking water in a way that is connected to a ritual
and this has been particularly good for me. My ritual is as follows:
First (blessing water): According to ancient custom, water used for a specific
purpose had a spell cast on it, or was blessed. More recent research has discovered that water can actually absorb and store the energy of thoughts
and words.
Second (charging water): Water can be either weakly or intensely charged
with energy. It depends on the movement that arises when it flows. In a
natural stream, where the water is guided from side to side by the stones
(and not straight ahead as in a pipe), the energy level is considerably higher.
This is why I always stir the water in a glass in the form of an eight for
a while.
Third (linking water to the Divine) and probably most important: I consciously connect myself with the Divine, and take in its element with reverence and gratitude. Before I drink the water, I take the glass in both hands in front of my chest, speak my affirmation, and then remain in silence for a few moments. If you drink tap water, please inquire locally about the quality of your water.

Varuna Mudra

Bend the little finger of your right hand until the tip touches the ball of your right thumb; place the thumb of your right hand on it. Press the little finger and thumb slightly with your left thumb. At the same time, your left hand encircles the right hand lightly from below.
Do as needed, or practice three times a day for 45 minutes. Keshav Dev says that the Varuna Mudra should always be done when too much mucus or secretion collects
in the stomach or lungs. Congestion can settle in the frontal sinuses, lungs,
and the entire digestive tract from the stomach to the large intestine. Most
allergic reactions are ultimately mucous congestion triggered by specific
irritating substances. When we catch a cold, we are usually in a rut in other
ways as well. I find this to be 100 percent true for myself. Since I have recognized
this fact, I can also do something to relieve the situation (I reduce
my workload and my obligations). Mucous congestion, no matter where it
occurs in the body, is always related to overstimulated nerves, inner tensions
and unrest, triggered by overstraining, being pressed for time, being aggravated,
or experiencing fear.
In addition to practicing the Varuna Mudra, it is always important to make a new life plan. Including other people in it is usually good! Perhaps you should rethink your tasks and obligations and reassign some of them to you partner, your child, and/or your parents. People who suffer from mucous congestion are often too conscious of responsibility and think that everything depends on them or that they must do everything alone.

Prithvi Mudra

Place the tips of the thumb and ring finger on top of each other, using light pressure. Extend the other fingers. Do this with each hand. Do as needed, or use three times a day for 15 minutes.

The Prithivi Mudra can eliminate an energy deficit in the root
chakra. Whether or not you feel psychologically or physically strong and vital is largely dependent upon this energy. This finger position also intensifies the sense of smell and is good for the nails, skin, hair, and bones. If you feel uncertain of your steps while walking, the Prithivi Mudra can restore your equilibrium and trust. This mudra also activates the root chakra, in which our elemental force resides. We can compare this chakra to the grafting knot of a rose. The potential for the appearance and nature
of the plant is found here; the roots sprout into the ground from this point
to give the plant stability and absorb the nutrients. The stem and leaves
grow upward from this point to connect with the light, to blossom and
bear fruit. Without reservation, this image can be applied to human beings
as well. We also need stability and nourishment to grow and be effective in
our place in the world. The purpose of our lives is to connect with the Divine, which means we must also orient ourselves toward the light and open up like a flower that is being pollinated. For us, this may mean experiencing grace. So this mudra can give us everything that we need for a meaningful life. I use it when I feel insecure and need inner stability and self-assurance. Moreover, it stimulates the body temperature, the liver, and the stomach.

Shunya Mudra

Bend the middle finger until it touches the ball of your thumb. Lightly press down on
the middle finger with your thumb. The other fingers are extended. Do this with each hand. Do as needed, or use three times daily for 15 minutes as a course of treatment.
This is a special exercise against ear and hearing problems. The Shunya Mudra can also quickly heal earaches (and almost all diseases of the ear) when used for a longer period of time, according to Keshav Dev.

Hearing problems are related to a person who is no longer able to hear or who even doesn't want to hear. This can be a blessing or a catastrophe. Poor hearing can protect us from unpleasant things or even from disagreeable sounds or information that
find their way into us. On the other hand, we can also no longer hear beautiful
things. Not wanting to hear is sometimes based on a particular kind of stubbornness that can lead to disaster. Consequently, if we are willing to scrutinize the reason for our hearing problems, this can lead us one step further toward a richer life.

The middle finger is associated with the sky (ether). This is the gateway
to the higher dimensions—the gateway to Heaven. The ancient myths
say, if we want to get to Heaven, we first need to be thoroughly purified. This is why it may be appropriate to "look within" and make amends for old offenses. I know that it can sometimes be very difficult to forgive another person; but I also know that forgiveness truly opens up new gateways - gateways that lead into the light and into a lightness of the life ahead of us. It is as if we have thrown off our old burdens and then continued happily on our path.

Vayu Mudra of Wind

With each hand bend the index finger so that its tip touches the ball of the thumb.
Then press the thumb lightly onto the index finger. Extend the other fingers in a
relaxed way.

For chronic complaints, do this mudra three times daily for 15 minutes; otherwise, use it until it has an effect. This position prevents "wind" (meaning flatulence), and a sensation of fullness, in all parts of the body. Ayurvedic medicine assumes that there are 51 types of wind in the body that produce numerous disorders.

These include gout, sciatica, flatulence, rheumatism, and trembling in the
hands, throat, and head. If you use the Vayu Mudra within 24 hours after an
outbreak of a disorder or disease caused by wind, you can very quickly count
on improvement. For chronic complaints, the Pran Mudra (Number 6) on
page 70 should be practiced. The Vayu Mudra must be discontinued as soon
as the disease disappears.
Too much wind in the body can be caused by inner waste substances,
particularly in the intestines, or inner tensions that are in turn based on
states of agitation. Frequently, the normal breathing rhythm (which is different
for each individual) is also disrupted.
As an additional measure, the "stomach contractor" can also be practiced.
To do this, assume the "cat posture." Inhale and lift your head some what; exhale and lower your head again while vigorously pulling in the abdominal wall at the same time.
During the pause in breathing, pull in the abdominal wall and let go of it several
times. Then inhale deeply again; raise your head again. Repeat the whole exercise a
number of times. In addition, the following visualization can help against tensions and
states of agitation.
