Healing Mudras in yoga( saman mudra)

You may think how can a person can become complete person through Mudra. Its possible to become a person complete through mudra.


In Hindu theology, Arishadvarga are the six passions[1] of mind or desire: kama (lust), krodha (anger), lobh (greed), moha (attachment), mada or ahankar (pride) and matsarya (jealousy); the negative characteristics of which prevent man from attaining moksha or salvation.
These are the fundamental tenets of Kali Yuga. The more each individual fights them, the longer will be the life of dying Dharma in this yuga.
In Sikhism they are known as the Five Evils, as they are referred to in Sikh Scripture, Guru Granth Sahib, which does not include matsarya (jealousy). They are: -
kama — lust
krodha — anger
lobh — greed
moha — delusory emotional attachment or temptation
mada or ahankara — pride, hubris
matsarya — envy, jealousy

When we become free from this negative emotion we become complete.

This Universe is composed of five basic elements: space(or ether),Air,Fire,Water,And Earth. In Ayurvedic terminology,these are called aakash, vaayu,agni,jal and prithivi,respectively. Being a miniature universe,the human body,too,is composed of the same five elements.

The five basic elements mentioned above manifest in the human body as three basic principles or humors: Vaata, Pitta and Khapha as described in Ayurveda, ancient Indian science of life ,health and medicine.

Air and space elements .together ,create the Vaata humor,

Fire and water elements ,together,create the Pitta humor,

Eartha and water elements,together,create the Khapha humor.


Vaata humor person shows this type of emotions like Fear,Emptiness, Anxiety

Pitta humor person shows this type of emotions like Anger Hatred and Jealousy

Khaapha humor persons shows this types emotions like Forgiveness, Greed, Attachment, Accumulation, Holding,Possessiveness,

A balance between these three humor is vital for good health and complete personality.Imbalance of any one or more results in disease. In present times,a perfect balance of these three humors are seldom seen. Due to hereditary factors, generally one humor dominates the other two  right from the birth,giving the person a prakruti or a constitution or a personality.For example a person who has excess of Vaata humor in his body said to be possessing vaata constitution or suffering from vaata-dosha = fault or imbalance) similarly,people having a excess of pitta humor or khapha humor in their bodies are said to be possessing pitta constitution or khapha constitution,respectively.such  dosha develops,specific traits and susceptibilities in the owner.

It may also happen that two (or some times all three) humor are deranged (i.e In excess) Such people are said to be having mix constitutions.

When we can balance all these three constitution we can get perfect health and personality.

The samaan or thridosha naashak mudra is very useful to get all the three dosha's rectified.and get a complete personality and it can be used to prevent illness or this mudra can be used to overcome any disorder.

Method: This mudra is formed by joining together the tips of the thumb and all four fingers.
