Generally speaking, in magic we often use the energy of our mind, candles, the undeniable power of mother nature, earth, fire, the power of the stars and various other ways. In addition to these, quite often we use the power of our own body. The way you set your hands and body, the gestures you make while performing something spiritual can have great influence in the process.
This magical gesture that is used, it’s called Mudra and its used for many symbolic and ritual purposes.This magical gesture comes from the ancient Hindu religion and it’s very well known as Yoga.
What can we achieve through these hand gestures? The answer is very simple. As a practitioner of these different gestures combined with special yogic breathing exercises also known as pranayama, you can connect with God, with your inner Magical powers, the elements and much more. All you have to do is be disciplined and do the exercises correctly and soon all of your senses will be sharper your muscles relaxed, and you will have exceptional results.
The great part about the Mudra is that it’s actually done very easy using your hands, meaning you can do them everywhere, for example, while driving on the metro, or waiting, or being impatient or any other situation you might feel stressed. Of course, if you want better results you oughta be calm and meditate more often.
