Mudras: Yoga in Your Hands (Alternative Medicine Series)

I personally have no dislikes about the book it's a worth to buy for me atleast.Mudras have been an integral part of many Hindu and Buddhist rituals. They are used extensively in Yoga, meditation and dance. Across various disciplines it is said that there exist close to 399 mudras. The thing I disliked about the book was it was having a limited number of mudras. mudra is a gesture or seal used in yoga. The book is having printed gestures as well as explantions it's not like a religious book but a book to learn and get introduced to mudra, now I use mudra in my day to day life frequently and it gives me peace of mind.

Very happy to read, it has rich source of information, not just how to keep mudra, besides it explains how and what happens inside our body and how it benefits in healing + author shares many things, and a good number of affirmations. A WONDERFUL BOOK. I JUST LOVED IT.

Great Illustrations

Delivered on time

Good for beginners.

It’s a great book explained well and simple to follow. More photos of various mudra positions would have been helpful.

I have tried all the mudras on myself and many other people & found them to be very effective. One very important aspect in it that one should have faith in what one is following and doing. Faith and unflinching belief helps a lot. In addition to the mudras there is a mental imaging and some more aspects to be practised which go a long way to benefit the practitioner.

I was very excited when i ordered the book to learn all about mudras. I was quite satisfied when i started reading the book,it is very nice how the author has explained about our hands and mudras connected to our bodies and various other ancient sciences. The visualizations and meditations are a good guidance too. However, as i progressed i realized the author has not clearly mentioned the limitations of the mudras or its counter-effects which are very essential as you can immediately experience them. Further i found an important mudra- surya mudra missing. I would say its a good book to be introduced to mudras and get a hang of it.

Me ha gustado. Estoy un poco limitada porque no me manejo suelta con el Inglés, pero da explicaciones extensas de cada mundra y un mantra/oración con cada uno de ellos.

First off, the 1 star ratings of this book have nothing to do with the book. Okay done with that. This little gem of a book is the perfect companion for understanding mudras. Yet, it is so much more than mudras. It starts off with explanations, touches on the music, color, chakras, acupressure and ayurveda; includes meditations and affirmations, there are about 52 mudras with a drawing, explanation of how to do it, it's meaning, what physical ailments t it may help to heal, a mini meditation and affirmation for each one. There is a section on mudra exercise, kinda like yoga and warm exercises you can do (which feel great) right before sitting down to your practice. It finishes up with a little info on the 5 elements wood, fire, earth, metal and water. I had never heard of this author prior to purchasing the book. I'm so glad I read the reviews and followed my gut. I have learned so much. My book has fallen apart, the glue dried up or wore out. Not sure what that is about. I think I may have to purchase another. :)

This book is wonderful, clear and educational. The images for the hand mudras along with affirmations, meaning and benefits are very useful. i can use this book to compliment my yoga and meditation classes. I originally bought the kindle version but have since bought the hard copy so i can bookmark and emerge myself into the content better.

Prendere in conssiderazione di vivere meglio semplicemente utilizzando lo yoga delle mani è affascinante ma soprattutto SERVE. È qualche anno che studio e applico i mudra ma questo libro della signora Gertrud é illuminante, forse perché essendo occidentale non dà per scontato nulla. Da quando mi sono impegnata dormo e mi muovo meglio.
