Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: The Way of Grace

Life energy can be intelligently directed through the circuitry of the nervous system to heal mind and body.

Prana is the subtle life energy of body and mind (see page 10). Long ago the ancient Masters discovered how prana moves through the complex circuitry of the human nervous system. They found that specific hand positions, or mudras, can act as extremely subtle switches to channel prana to particular parts of the body. Prana directed with a correct mudra dramatically enhances the natural healing processes in that part of the body. The technique for using mudras is taught on all Art of Living Advanced Courses.

These mudras were observed by ancient Masters as the natural hand positions displayed by all infants and children at progressive stages of development.
