I would like to set a subject for discussion....
It is about the hand mundras.
As known in Reiki we basically use the Gasho mudra....but do we know why?
Do we know what really happens when the hands are connected by this way?
We all know that it is a "natural" way to get connected with the divine Light Energy as our teachers and books teach us...
Its rarely known especially in West that we humans have 5 fingers per hand for the reason of the five elements!
In ancient Greek texts is written....to be more specific at the book of Plato "the Timeus"....
This has a major puprose...To remind us from what we and all universe is made of and then that we have everything in our very hands!
And when I say everything I mean it!
The little finger is the Earth element
The third finger is the Water element
The middle finger is the Fire element
The index finger is the Wind element
The thumb is the Ether element
Well when we connect our palms as Gasho mudra we balancing the 2 magnetic poles of our body and we let the energy to flow freely in our energy body circulatory system. All fingers are one against the other except the thumbs which are interlocked.
Traditionally the left thumb is set above the right because by this way we switch on the energy draining "mechanism" to drain Light energy from the Source and to be able to give or send after....
If we set the right above the left then we "command" our own energy to go out of our body on a targeted area,person or situation... thats why this posture its not recommended or taught in Reiki's lessons....
What this means....
Of course that even "unconsciously" we interlock the Ether element as Yin/Yang (each hand represents the positive/ negative-male/female etc) which focuses our higher selves to the spiritual plane energy....the Reiki Energy.
I would like to say that this theory is exclusively only mine from my research and for that reason I would like to hear your opinions ,views and comments or advice
Light and Joy Blessings and Wishes
Namaste
