Do you think that it is possible to reach a state of peace and harmony just with our hands?
Here, we’re going to present you what can happen if you stretch your ring finger with your thumb! You’ll be really amazed!
The positions of hands or otherwise called ”mudras” have had a very important role in the practice of yoga, so they are also known as “the producers of joy.”
This practice is explained by the huge amount of nerve endings containing our fingers so when they’re pressed in a specific way, they help us connect channels that allow energy circulating through the body.
The best thing about them is that you can do them anywhere and at any time. You just need several minutes and you’ll manage to reach a state of absolute relaxation!
