Mudras: 40 Powerful Hand Gestures To Unleash The Physical, Mental And Spiritual Healing Power In YOU! Paperback – 25 May 2015

We liked the content well enough but the book itself is very flimsy and a better binding would have greatly improved the book.

Good information concisely presented. One diagram is very poorly drawn and difficult to decipher without going online and doing a google search. There is a spelling error on the front cover "Hang" instead of "Hand". As well, the author uses far too many exclamation points which is poor style and makes for tiresome reading. While she is trying to be enthusiastic it comes across as loud. Obviously this book was not professionally edited. Still, not a bad beginner's text. I liked the references as to the uses of the mudras.

Even though well into my senior years I still am active training and teaching seniors (Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga and Mudras) once a week. One of the things we do in my seated program is practice Yoga hand Mudras and I am always looking for more material on the above topics.Recently I purchased several new books and manuals on Qigong, Yoga and Mudras shopping on Amazon. This 48-page volume (Mudras: 40 powerful hand gestures to awaken your Chakras and unleash the healing power in you by Diane Clarke) is one of them. Interestingly, the front cover page misspelled the word hand (SAYS HANG). This text also had no page numbers which drives me crazy, so I wrote in the page numbers myself and also put the page numbers in the table of contents section.In spite of these flaws that could have been solved by better proofreading, this small, short manual has some solid information on the purpose and value of each Mudra. In this respect it is worth reading and using as a reference source. I should also mention that the type and ink on the pages were not very clear, but fairly readable and easy to understand.I also liked the drawings better than the photographs in the illustrations in this book. This text is organized into 7 chapters covering “the science of Mudras, our fingertips are the doorway to balance, general Mudras for everyday living, Mudras for peak physical health, Mudras for specific pains and disease, Mudras for mental stability, and Mudras for spiritual possibilities.”In conclusion, I liked this book because it not only showed how to do the Mudras but also gave specific instructions on what each one focused on and also covered how long to do each of the Mudras.If you are seeking a quick reference source for learning about Yoga Mudras, you may want to check out this booklet.Rating: 4 Stars.

I am using the book to venture further into practising mudras. The book has given me knowledge regarding the powerful impact mudras can have on the body and also if their origins. I love it...

Excellent book
