MUDRA THERAPY & KIDNEY FAILURE
Mudra is a hand gesture or seal which is a symbol of energy. More deeply, "closed electrical circuits" of the subtle channels in physical and etheric bodies are also known as 'Mudras'. When a finger representing an element is brought into contact with thumb, that element is brought into balance. Therefore the disease caused by the imbalance is cured. Mudras start electromagnetic currents within the body which balance various constituting elements and restore health. The joining of fingers creates an effect on the human body. Mudra can be practiced at all the times while sitting, lying, standing, walking or even talking. For good results should be practiced for 24 minutes continuously and extend up to 45 minutes is desirable. Some of the Mudras can balance the elements of the body within 45 minutes; some react within a few seconds on the human body. Can be practiced for 5 minutes also at one time.

Most of the mudras should preferably be practiced in sitting position with spine straight but they could also be done in standing, lying down or walking if instructed by the therapist or teacher to do so.
