Apart from Yoga asanas and other practices of yoga , hasth mudra (hands mudra) also play important role to improve physical, mental and spiritual well being. It doesn’t only refer to twisting and curling your body into different shapes and poses, but it also involves some specific mudras posed during meditations. Mudras mean gestures adopted during pranayams and meditations that directs flow of energy into our body. Yogic tantras say that these mudra yoga techniques stimulate different areas of the brain.The physical body is made up of five elements namely - Air, Water, Fire, Earth and Aakash (ether - the tiny intercellular spaces in the human body).Imbalance of these elements disrupts the immunity system and causes disease.
Deficiencies in any of these elements can be made up by connecting one part of the body with another in a particular manner through Mudras. When a finger representing an element is brought into contact with the thumb, that element is brought into balance. Therefore the disease caused by the imbalance is cured. Mudras start electromagnetic currents within the body which balance various constituting elements and restore health. The joining of fingers creates an effect on the human body.
Other enunciation is Lam (Bija letter) --Vam Åšam á¹¢am Sam (वं शं षं सं) for Muladhara Chakra as the letters look.
You may follow this convention of enunciation of alphabets for all other Chakras also. For chanting of Bija mantras and the letters, assume Lotus Position. The overdots above the Sanskrit letters indicate the M terminator.
