Space Surroundings All Creations : Akash Mudra
Space Surroundings All Creations
By Shruti ChaturLal Sharma
The science of mudras or hand gestures are based on
the fundamental principles of life, namely the five elements – Ether, Air,
Water, Earth and Fire and five pranas – Prana, Udana, Samana, Apana and Vyana
and three doshas – Vata, Kapha and Pitta. Thus, the secret of good health
depends of the balance of these elements within the body.
The key to health and well-being is to keep our pranas
in harmony. When one prana becomes imbalanced, others tend to become imbalanced
as well. Thus, regular practice of mudras results in creating balance by
activating blood circulation and transmission of energies through nerves. They
balance the five elements, doshas and pranas: replacing one element with another,
increasing or decreasing the proportion of an element within the body.
Akash mudra counters
deficiency of space in the body. This gives various benefits to health as well
as spiritual enlightenment. It enables the person (atma) to reunite with the
collective consciousness (Paramaatmaa or God). The increased internal space
enables the rest of the four bodily elements to increase, affording them a room
to act.
This detoxifying mudra is
performed by joining the tip of the thumb

It is best if you perform this mudra for 45 minutes every
day. If time permits, you can prefer doing it in one go, or else can be carried
out thrice for 15 minutes in a day. You
may start feeling quite positive and pure right after 2-3 days of practice.
Avoid practicing this mudra
while standing or immediately after your meals whereas performing it at dawn gives
enhanced benefits. Don’t let your hectic schedule or laziness
stop you from balancing your five elements, just come forward with akash mudra
and unite your inner space with the universal space.
