Did you know that you may use your hands to create perfect harmony and peace? When practicing yoga, it’s vital to adopt certain hand postures known as mudras, or spiritual gestures.
It will make your life happier.
The human body is said to be made up of the five elements: fire, air, space, water, and earth.
Thumb: Fire
Index finger: Air
Middle finger: Space
