Preview excerpt from the book:
​
'Mudras are specific hand and finger gestures that channel the energy that is produced in our body. Some people call it yoga for the hands. Mudras can awake particular states of mind and transmit energy through our bodies. Mudras can activate through energy certain sensations on our body, emotions on our mind, or awaken the higher consciousness of our soul. During your mudra practice, you can add the So-Hum meditation to enhance the experience. Think of the word SO as you are inhaling slowly, and HUM as you are exhaling. All lives start with an inhalation and end with an exhalation; inhalation is life, exhalation is letting go. We inhale love and we exhale ego. So Hum means in Sanskrit I AM THAT; I am the Universal Love, I am one with the Creator. Through mudras we are invoking specific qualities of Shiva-Shakti or Divinity, simply becoming part of the journey. "
