Paperback, [PU: Parenting Press Incorporated], One way that all of us can better care for ourselves is by developing techniques for coping with the irritations and anxiety that are part of life. That's why we're introducing this book on mudras. Think of these gestures as self-talk for your hands. These simple movements, the gestures that we often make unconsciously, can help us focus on our work, calm ourselves, release anger and energize us. Used for centuries by many different cultures, mudras are seen in Eastern dance and meditation, in ancient Egyptian friezes, even in Byzantine icons of Christ.

This carefully illustrated, step-by-step guide to coping with physical and emotional tension advocates the ancient practice of mudras for releasing stress at any time of day and in any place. Used for centuries by many different cultures--they appear in Eastern dance and meditation, ancient Egyptian friezes, and even Byzantine icons of Christ--mudras are common in the modern-day world as well: waving people goodbye, pressing a hand to the chest in distress, and wriggling fingers to release energy, among others.The author demonstrates how these simple gestures can take a minute to learn and relieve tension in as little as five minutes, and how they can be performed behind the wheel of a car, behind the desk at work, at the kitchen counter, or on a walk.
