Finger Mudras

…”Images of the Buddha were produced from the fifth century onwards. The sacred nature of the representation is reflected in the artistic goal of creating an aura of equanimity, perfection, and holiness. The large number of rules governing the execution of a portrayal or a statue require an erudite understanding of Buddhist symbolism. Any Buddha figure made by a skilled artist exhibits a multitude of characteristics that communicate subtle meanings and intentions to the viewer. The most important of these characteristics are perhaps the mudras, or hand gestures, of the Buddha. These well-defined gestures have a fixed meaning throughout all styles and periods of Buddha images.”….

Initially people don’t clue in to subtle NRGY. So the best way to understand Mudras or Finger Positions until you get it is to APPLY VARYING AMOUNTS OF PRESSURE on them when touching together.

Eventually once you get what they do, you’ll freak out.

Playing the Piano is a great and excellent way to learn about the subtle movements and pressures of fingers and can then be applied to the practice of meditative postures using fingers to redirect NRGY internally.

Applying pressure on fingers redirects NRGY inward. Lightly touching or pointing them, directs NRGY outwards.

Simple as that…. Play and have fun. But DON’T OVERDO the pressure thing. It’s actually addictive.
