By curling, crossing, stretching and touching the fingers and hands, we can talk to the body and mind as each area of the hand corresponds to a certain part of the mind or body. From the little finger to the thumb: each finger represents earth, metal, fire, wood, and water, respectively. The entire universe lies within your ten fingers and it is also said that there is an infinite number of Mudras even though we only have 10 fingers. Mudras can be used both for meditation and/or healing.
