Introduction
First things first, I want to thank you for purchasing this book: Mudras: Beginners Guide for Daily Use, 23 Easy and Fast Hand Gestures for Effective Weight Loss, Unstoppable Energy and Natural Self-Healing.
When you hear the word Yoga, you most probably imagine a slender person doing unusual stretches and poses that look like they require a lot of flexibility. While it is true, that is only a part of Yoga and there is definitely more than that.
A body part that a lot of peopleespecially those that are new to Yogaseem to never think of or pay much attention to are the hands. Our body is full of energy, and our hands (in combination with other body parts) are able to balance that energy reaching to perfect harmony.
In this book we are going to talk about Mudras, which involves the art of hand gestures used in Yoga. While Mudras are a more subtle aspect of Yoga than, say, bending your whole body, they can do wonders for your mind and your body when paired with other exercises or just themselves.
Reading this book you will be able to incorporate Mudras to your life. These are some benefits of using DAILY Mudras:
- They help on harmonizing mind and body, making energy easily to flow within the body.
- They relief physical discomfort, easing pain by stimulating the endorphin system.
- They produce a considerable relaxation, so they can be used for fighting insomnia.
- They improve mood, stimulating positive thinking.
- They raise self-esteem, offering the possibility to rely on your abilities
- They improve concentration when combined with meditation.
When performed correctly, Mudras can impact the energies of your body, can alter your mood within mere minutes (some of them) and can give you that instant boost that you may need and increase your wellbeing.
If you are someone that is just delving into the world of Yoga, this is the book for youyou should not begin your Yoga journey in the correct manner without learning about Mudras. If you are someone just looking for improving your health or life in general, learning and using Mudras will be a critical factor in your life.
The book contains all of the accurate, straight-to-the-point information that you need to know about Mudras, all explained in a very simple way, so it will help to clear any prior confusion you may have on the subject. In addition, the objective with this book is to introduce what Mudras are and more importantly provide you -the reader- with very practical and simple-to-use Mudras in order to improve your health and life.
As the title says Daily Use, this book is focused on an easy way to follow so everyone can put into practice these hand gestures on a DAILY BASIS and start seeing results as fast as possible.
The content is divided into 2 different parts: The first one includes a presentation and explanation of the very basic concepts used in this book such as What Mudras really are; Definition of Chakras and their relationship for example. The second part is the real practical one, in which you will learn all about specific Mudras for improving your health. Including Weight Loss Mudras, Awakening Energy Mudras and Self-Healing Mudras, the last ones focused on solving daily issues such as headache, stomachache, insomnia, depression, rheum etc.

Chapter 1
THE BASICS
For the very first chapter of this book, it might be a good idea to enlighten you with the basics about what Mudras really are, and what they involve.
After all, if you truly want to have a clear and strong understanding about anything, it is necessary to be well informed about the basics.
Its like constructing a buildingthe stronger the base is, the sturdier the building will be.
This chapter is going to create the foundation, upon which we will continue to build an amazing building of knowledge.
What are Mudras?
Mudra is the Sanskrit word for mark or seal.
Mudras are, in short, any positions of your body that affect the energies of your body or your current mood. While it is true that any part of the body can be involved in Mudras, it is usually the hands and the fingers that are held in these particular positions.
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: We will study mainly Hand Mudras, although there are others using different body parts. The Word Mudra in this book is used referring to Hand gestures.
Mudras are often performed while one meditates. These positions have been used in the Eastern Countries for centuries, especially among cultures of Buddhism. Something you may have noticed is that many statues of Buddha tend to show his hands held in a certain positionthese are Mudras used to help on the journey to enlightenment. That is one of the reasons why people use these positions to this day, although a large part of practitioners use them for more direct benefits as we will learn throughout the book.
