Mudras Regulate the Five Elements of the Body*
The Universe is composed of five elements, earth, air, water, fire, and ether. Similarly our body is
also a union of five elements which is represented by our five fingers. Hand mudras regulate these
five elements in our body. The fingers representing five elements are:
the Thumb for Fire;
the Index (Jupiter finger) for Air;
the Middle (Saturn finger) for Ether or Space;
the Ring (Sun finger) for Earth;
the Pinky (Mercury finger) for Water.
