The ahamkara mudra is a mudra for people who are
unnecessarily passive and need some assertiveness
training. This mudra is about asserting the ego
and a sense of personal identity and individuality.
The mudra promotes extroverted tendencies and
is ego-transcending. The tip of the index finger
extends beyond the thumb, asserting the self beyond
the circle of OM. |

The OM mudra (OM is the original sound of the
universe and all that is manifested in it) is a
mudra that merges the ego and the universe. All
becomes one divine reality. The circle of self and
universe perfectly closes as the thumb and index
finger meet. This is a mudra of peacefulness and
divine harmony or balance. |

One healing technique that is based on specific hand positions is growing increasingly popular in the United States. Called reiki, it is a simple technique that taps into the life force energy to help reduce stress and thereby lead to healing. It treats the whole person, including the body, emotions, mind, and spirit. A treatment creates a feeling of heat, tingling, or simply relaxation, and can result in feelings of peace, security, and well-being. In some cases, miraculous cures occur. |

Reiki is said to have been an ancient healing art that was rediscovered, via visions, by Dr. Mikao Usai in the mid 1800s. It was brought to the West by Mrs. Hawayo Takata. Reiki was developed as a simple and natural method of spiritual healing. |
