Prana Mudra stimulates and strengthens our self - healing abilities

There is a wonderful amazing breathing practice that I learned from a Master, a right hand man to the infamous Swami Satchidananda. It incorporates Mudras, a Sanskrit word that means gestures. Each mudra is done with certain fingers held in toward the palms and a visualization of the cells of the part of the body one is focused on. For instance the first round of breath is done to get seven times the amount of oxygen into the lungs and to stimulate the healing energy of the palms and fingers. The hands are super healing vessels and for one who strengthens their palms with awareness and cultivates this awareness into practice the hands' healing abilities strengthen. Then the practice goes on to change finger positions co-ordinated with the deep three part breathing and a Qi Gong way of moving the hands. Each change represents a part of the body. For example, the first one is from the navel to the lower extremities.  By visualizing the area and even the nucleus of the cells that need repair an electrical current is generated to heal that cell.The intention of the mind activates the healing. This is another wonderful example of a mind over matter healing practice. It is my favorite.
