Mudras for Healing and Transformation

by Joseph Le Page, Lilia Le Page

Mudras for Healing and Transformation, articulates the depth of mudras in a form easy to understand and apply. Emerging out of their extensive lifetime background and training in the Five Koshas, the authors offer readers access to over one hundred mudras that explore the physical dimension, the subtle body, balancing of the mind and emotions, support on the journey of spiritual awakening, and tapping into their inherent spiritual nature.

The authors have created a text rich in ancient philosophy, blended with a modern-day approach to understanding and use of the science of mudras for healing. The book breaks down the complexity of each mudra through step-by-step instructions. Easy-to-use breakout boxes, for each mudra, include: core quality, benefits, cautions, instructions, and mudras with similar effects. Illustrations throughout help bring further awareness to alignment within the systems of the body, elements activated, doshas, prana vayus, and chakras.

Going beyond mudras to address the entire spectrum of healing, the authors accompany each mudra with a beautiful guided meditation to deepen awareness and the energetic affect of each. These timeless meditations are a perfect complement to the overall flow of the book and will be enjoyed by readers and practitioners alike, from any spiritual tradition.

I brought this book on kindle and it was ok so I brought it again in paperback and it is so much better.
This is a great reference book I use it all the time and love the meditations.

I consider this among the most invaluable resources in my practice library. The book exceptionally well organized and laid out (whether working in the e-book or paperback version - I have both). There are 108 mudras in this collection and each is detailed by the body system it corresponds to, the breath current, chakra, dosha, and whether it is rated as energizing, balancing, or calming. Each mudra also has a accompanying guided meditation and illustration of the correct hand position.
The appendices offer excellent suggestions on how to integrate the mudras into an asana or pranayama practice.

I've been practicing yoga and meditation for over 20 years and this is in the top three books that I consistently recommend to students, friend and fellow practitioner/teachers.
