Notes
SOMA ZAIDI
Mudras are specific hand gestures, body postures, or energy locks used in yogic practices to direct and control the flow of prana (vital energy) within the body. These practices, rooted in ancient yogic philosophy, are employed to influence the subtle energy channels or nadis, promoting energetic balance and enhancing physiological and psychological well-being.
By activating certain nerve endings and stimulating particular points in the body, mudras help regulate prana vayu, align the chakras, and support the nervous system. When used in conjunction with pranayama and meditation, mudras aid in focusing the mind, stabilizing emotions, and elevating consciousness, making them an essential tool for advancing in both physical and spiritual yoga practice.
