Mudras are expressive hand gestures that form an intrinsic part of Indian Classical Dance, Yoga and visual arts. They have been used in India for centuries as a way to express emotions, thoughts and feelings without using words. Mudras are believed to channelize natural forces and aid spiritual and mental well being by enhancing the flow of energies through the body. Mudras also play an important role in yoga and meditation, where they help to direct energy flow throughout the body.
