What are Mudras?

Some of these effects include:
Balancing Energy
Each mudra has a specific effect on the flow of energy within the system, and practising mudras can help balance the flow of energy, restoring health and vitality.
Reducing Stress & Anxiety
Many mudras have a calming effect on the body and mind, making them a useful tool for reducing stress and anxiety.
