us as we explore the fascinating world of mudras and see how these simple gestures can deep deeply impact Our Lives share your thoughts in the comments and let's discover this topic together step by step let's start with something easy to understand how mudras can help our health mudras are hand gestures used in practices like yoga Tai Chi and Kong these practices aim to balance our body and spirit this idea of balance was also important to our ancestors there are many energy channels in our hands connected to our body's vital energy and organs when we position
our fingers in certain ways we control these energy flows helping energy and information move between different parts of our body simply put mudras help us direct or boost the body's energy making us feel healthier overall but what are these channels until recently science did not believe in bioenergy energy fields and vital energy physiologists said that in all the history of physiology and Medicine no such channels had ever been found these channels known as meridians exist in the human body even though they have not been clearly identified yet we do have systems like the circulatory lymphatic
and nervous systems despite the lack of visible channels various ideas have come up one Theory suggests that the fingers have many nerve endings each connected to a specific organ pressing a finger can affect the corresponding organ the thumb is linked to the stomach and spleen the index finger to the kidneys the middle finger to the gallbladder and liver the ring finger to the intestines and lungs and the little finger to the small intestine and heart this knowledge is used by First Responders in emergencies especially when medicines are not available for instance if someone has heart
pain biting the base of the little finger's nail can help in fact massaging your fingers every day can prevent many health issues just warm and massage the palms of your hands thoroughly this practice proven effective is hard to deny could our traditional handshake be a sign of this ancient wisdom share your thoughts in the comments what if we told you that science has proven the existence of energy channels in the human body not many people know this why did all cultures and medical Traditions before modern medicine talk about energy flow Albert shent gurgi a Nobel
prizewinning biochemist said this is no longer a secret to scientists in the end science found that the old knowledge about energy channels where vital energy flows is true in different Traditions these energy channels had different names in India they were called nadis in China meridians in Japan kiraku and in Tibet vessels according to Indian tradition there are 72,000 of these energy channels and diseases happen when the energy flow gets blocked even though we are made of Flesh and Bone our bodies also have an electromagnetic nature with frequencies measured by modern devices like electrocardiograms and MRI
recently scientists at Soul National University proved the existence of meridians they say this system is part of the cardiovascular system and has support from connective tissue the first discovery of meridians was made by North Korean scientist Kim bongan in the early 1960s he found special tube likee structures in the human body and later research confirmed their existence modern Korean scientists have shown that this system is indeed a physical part of the energy points of the meridians This Modern scientific validation gives us a new view of ancient Traditions blending old knowledge with new technology for a
better understanding of our health and well-being also the use of certain substances has revealed fine lines that match the energy Channel channels described long ago these channels were found to transport a fluid that gathers to form stem cells this discovery though important has not received the attention it deserves why do you think this knowledge which scientists have known for a while isn't taught in schools or reported in the news some scientists even believe that we're all connected through our energy and the flow of this energy both in our cells and in our body but that's
just the beginning our Earth also has energy channels called Lee lines which are like the meridians in the human body these lay lines link up important historical cultural or natural sites around the world now let's talk about mudras which are special hand positions that can affect the flow of energy in our bodies mudras can have a powerful impact on our bodies but just putting your hands together in a certain way isn't enough to get the benefits to control your energy through madas follow these basic steps for an effective practice First Step warm up your hands
