CHOKI - According to custom, Mudras are typically used during meditation and/or pranayama as a way to direct or channel energy flow throughout the body. Since the entire universe is made up of 5 elements; fire, air, space, earth and water and the human body is also composed of these same 5 elements, the fingers of the hand have been used traditionally to represent these 5 elements individually. The thumb represents fire, the 1st finger represents air, the middle finger represents space, the ring finger represents earth and the little finger represents water. When these 5 elements are balanced and in harmony with one another in our bodies we are healthy. Historically, Mudras are an ancient part of both the Buddhist and the Hindu traditions, and even though they were developed thousands of years ago their meaning is still understood and relevant today. In traditional Tantric ritual there are up to 108 mudras that can involve arm, hand and body positions. - To find more info graphics, visit http://on.fb.me/1Oo3PIV - To learn more about Choki, visit www.choki.org | Facebook
