[Note: This document contains images that may be considered as originally published on our website]

In ceremonial magic of the Western tradition, hands and fingers are used for various purposes among which is writing symbols, stamps and signs in a space or a sacred object. They are also used to banish, invoke and direct forces to certain targets. Unlike the followers of ceremonial magic, magicians apply stage hands to entertain audiences with their many illusory tricks. They call it "sleight of hand," or "adjustment." In magic, hands are used in various ways to deceive and confuse the eyes, and also address the mental concentration of the population. The saying that "the hands are quicker than the eye "is a cliché well known and used by stage magicians.

While still on the topic of entertainment, we must consider applause. The applause in modern usage is an expression of joy, an agreement, an accompaniment of music, or appreciation of the staging of someone. Metaphysically, it is said that dispels ovation from the presence of angelic beings. These creatures do not turn on the vibrations produced by the applause. From the occult point of view, therefore, attention is considered a negative practice.

In dance, hand gestures are essential to transmit or convey messages and meanings metaphorical. They have a rich vocabulary and storytelling to evoke emotions important nonverbal, and feel divine. This can be easily seen and experienced in Polynesian hula dance. These dances and movements of the hand recount several myths of the land that brings us to another world. As for the classic texts of Indian dance, hundreds of gestures hands are mentioned, and descriptions of thirteen posts of the head, thirty-six eyes, and nine of the neck. The Indian dances based on the composition of the Carnatic music, mudras used are: Raaga mudra, mudra Tata, Aachaarya mudra, mudra Naayaka, Vamsi mudra, mudra Biruda, Lakshana Grantha mudra, mudra Prabandha, Sthala mudra, etc.

Although many hands raised in the traditional dance can represent symbolic meanings, they are also functional in the sense that changing the morphogenetic field or auric human body, and also seeks to regulate the flow of energy in the etheric body.

There are many forms of dance or dance style called by different levels of the psyche. Basically, we can classify three types of dance originating in the unconscious, conscious and superconscious. Instinctive or primitive dance the subconscious is well known and is shown by man and beast. Most of these movements and gestures are often awkward dances of the Court and release coupling repressed energy. Cultural dances evolved from these raw movements. This is a This projection includes the psyche of beauty, grace, form, rhythm, etc. The third category can be called mystical dances. They come from higher levels of consciousness beyond the reach of consciousness of the mind, but whose energy can be channeled through the physical body movements produce divine. Some forms of dance are the fusion of these three classifications. The styles of traditional dances countries of Eastern Europe such as India, Thailand and Indonesia are typical of them. In these dances mudras are often trained to change the consciousness of the dancer and a indirect effect on audience awareness. About 16 years ago the writer witnessed one of the traditional Javanese dance performed by a very talented man. The dance has been called "Kesadaran" or "conscience." We were mesmerized from start to finish.

Music often find ourselves and domination in our hands, feet, body and unconscious. Why is that? For the simple reason that the musical energies have the power to possess people and our cause an altered state of consciousness to make us lose a degree of control over our physical system. All beings are susceptible to the influence music. Animals and plants are particularly vulnerable. In Greek mythology often hear stories of Pan, the personification of nature, mystical dance tunes of his pan-pipes, and all those who heard him play also join in the fun, joy and celebration. Similarly, when the wise Greek Orpheus played the lyre, but he was fascinated even the stones listened intently.

In the stories of Hindu gods, as found in the Bhagavata-Purana Gita-Govinda lila Vrindavan and Krishna would enchanted the gopis or herders with their dance and the magic flute. Each gopi was so fascinated by Krishna and distracted to forget everything else around it. It would become in fact believe that was the only response to their Lord. Obviously music has the power to produce feelings of ecstasy.

The god Shiva is represented often in the iconography in a dance pose as Nataraja, or Lord of the dance. "Represents the aspect of consciousness of nature, why not participate in a cosmic dance of Shiva? Because of Shakti or divine energy flows through your being and spasms and convulsions first cause, then the rhythmic movements alignment with the rhythm of the cosmos. In the middle spiritual flame, Shiva dances with enthusiasm, burning and transmutation of all obsolete forms of ancient cosmic life impeding progress.

In a microcosmic scale, a dance of Shiva also occurs to a professional mudras. spontaneous dancing may occur because of the awakening force living in the lowest psychospiritual center of the etheric body. The completion of the whole being professional mudras often move involuntarily. The physical body may influence the front and rear, left and right and rotate on its axis. His hands move on his own in the arcs, circles, figure-eight, in a cutting motion up to down, or trading in a left-right or front and rear, sometimes the hands are mysteriously placed in different layers of the aura, or even to individual schools reference – the chakras or energy centers of the body. Although Shakti is active, may also encourage practitioners to perform mudras ignorant. The energies given by mudras have a mind of its own and make their work movements. They know what to do to balance, purify, transform, or integrate the celestial energies phosphorus system.

In the field of martial arts, the hands are used as weapons of defense or destruction. The Claw "Tiger", the "Fist Iron, "" Drunken Fist style, etc, it appears that the multiple forms lethal hands can take to beat an opponent or knocks Ward. Contrary of this, fine arts over the use of the hand in a constructive and creative to produce wonderful works of art, and writing and producing heavenly music. Like the Cosmic Dance Shiva, the movements of Tai Chi, Pencak Silat and other forms of self-defense part of its origin in an energy source by moving the limbs of awakening movements occur involuntary. These movements were recorded and later converted into the various stages of the discipline of martial arts and training.

Some development systems of metaphysics to learn to move the body in a certain way. Although this has a stimulating effect of energy in the body, is not as effective in producing results allowed the hypothesis of mudras that cause energy to produce all the natural movements of their own volition.

When we hand clasping fingers thumb on top, if the right or the left hemisphere indicates that our brain is dominant. Psychology teaches us that if the right thumb is the most high, is the logic or reason predominates in us, or if the left thumb, intuition.

The hands play an important role in the emancipation of the mind to function optimal. Since the energy emitted in the palms of the hands and fingers, often unconsciously used as stimulants reconnect lost or relationship between the synapses to poor brain neurons. In the book Body Magic, a major work on esoteric man, Benjamin Walker describes how the operations of the hands frequently to treat to improve the mental processes by specific investments:

"When the fingertips of both hands are placed together, a circuit is created with the brain is believed that helps the mind. People in deep thought is often talk to their strength in the fingers, as if unconsciously aware of the need for a course to help concentration. If a man wants to remember something he forgot, his hand instinctively touching his forehead with his fingers to touch the source of his thinking. "

From what has been written so far, it is obvious that the hands play an important role in everyday life. This can also be seen in the way we've invented all sorts of idiomatic expressions on them. For example, I lend a hand "," hands-free, "Hand in Hand", "old dog" with hands, etc.

**********

As an instrument of healing

The chakras or energy centers located throughout the body. There is a chakra in each palm. There is also a minor chakra each finger. The size, activity, and the power of these chakras are dependent on several factors. One of them is the purity of the subtle channels to stop these chakra points. These subtle channels or nadis vital force transmitted through the etheric body and can be screened out the body through the hand chakras. Healers of various metaphysical traditions use hands to transmit healing energy or toxic breaking windows embedded in tissues. Since ancient times, Chinese doctors have been diagnosing the condition of a person of vitality thanks to the detection of energy force radiant hand knuckles and the wrist pulse. Among the many alternative treatment systems that use the hands acupressure, shiatsu, Chakra Healing, Reiki, healing Rosicrucian contact Electronics Council, the different forms of massage, etc. As Jesus, all initiated into the spiritual path is essentially a healer, but he can advertise openly advertised as one. When circumstances required and the need gladly offer their services to those who suffer, provided, however, that this is not what works, but the "Father" in it.

As an instrument of blessing and consecration

Metaphysics teaches and demonstrated through various experiments that can be verified by personal skeptics hand radiates energy. This energy can be used to magnetize objects places, spaces or people with various purposes. The religious term for the magnetization is the consecration. Blessing is a form of consecration. It refers to the magnetization of a human being instead of an object with a spiritual force. In general, the act of consecration or blessing that we seek to increase the frequency of vibration or a person or object or to give certain powers that would make him a psycho-spiritual generator that will influence their immediate environment in some way. Thought forms imbued with suggestions mental and emotional power are often attached to these blessings. Curses function well in the same way as a blessing, however, have side effects. The Curse of Tutankhamen's tomb is a classic example of this.

When people are concerned in the act of blessing, the professional will also seek to metaphysics clean energy or congested obstructive prevent the person being aware of or communion with the Higher. Once this purification is carried the person has a better line communication with God hidden or engineering and gain a greater sense of protection, faith and constant guidance of the Almighty.

In the act of blessing or consecration, the hands work in harmony with the power of words to change the structure of the magnetic field of people and objects.

As an instrument of General Service

The hands are tools for humanitarian service and support. Spiritual and social, is applied to reach out to our peers, who needs needs basic comfort and tranquility. In the spiritual teachings, karma yoga is often associated with their hands to Active without any thought of compensation or recognition. This a vital principle. The desire to serve humanity must come from the heart, without thinking about himself or ego. Altruism, devotion, and active service are important virtues that the spiritual aspirant must embody and express with every breath. When self-comfort, self-importance and self-aggrandizement are the only reasons to help others, then the hands are badly implemented and any act of departure is without merit. spiritual disciples should not call attention to the fact that they serve. The best service takes place in silence behind the scenes, without fanfare or publicity. The Master Jesus explained this succinctly: "Do not let your left hand know what the hand right is doing. "Hides, the left hand is used to receive energy, while the right is used to give away.

As an instrument of education

spiritual gurus teach differently. They give lessons orally, in writing, by telepathy, for example, symbols, theater, and the use of gestures. Hands can carry a lot of information when informed used. symbolic movements of the hands may represent the operation of laws cosmic and spiritual principles. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Sometimes the hands can the mouth can not say. A touch of love says something that words are often powerless in the face. In Zen Buddhism, the Guru is a shock treatment to his students often use their hands. A blow to the head or a slap in the face when the relevant state and psychological after intense meditation is supposed to cause a student suddenly sees the natural state of mind and enlightenment.

As an instrument purification, invocation, prayer and fellowship

Perhaps the current use more hands in the religious and metaphysical in spiritual work is its application in prayer. Basically, it requires no expertise. The hands are instinctively to make phone calls to God, the greatest minds advocacy or used as mere gestures of worship or veneration, as if by instinct scratch our heads or pull the beard when it comes to awakening our mental faculties. Hands can be attached, hang or otherwise is dictated by the heart, while in silent prayer. The esoteric teachings, however, teaches various hand gestures or mudras that have specific purposes of the invocation of cosmic forces and spiritual beings. The liturgical formula "Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen "in the Christian tradition of contact with the appropriate points in the head and body after a sentence expresses a certain power over etheric body, when properly done. However, the cursory manner in which inspections are made to provide very little value. In Hinduism, the placement of hands on body parts with the intention of magic called Nyasa.

To contact the divinity within us, we can apply different mudras that facilitates mystical communion. Mudras establishes a psychic condition in mind and body that temporary workers raises our consciousness, and disperses the etheric webs that protects the psyche of being bombed at the start psychic / Energy heavenly. It aligns and unites our objective consciousness with the superconscious mind. An altered state of consciousness is easily achievable through the use of hands in the execution of mudras. Thanks mudras our own communion with the supernatural is controlled. Opening doors and about the higher worlds through the application of our will.

In ceremonial magic hands are widely used to navigate and operate more strongly in his holy place of worship and practice. The symbols are drawn on the ground or in the air with radiation power in the hands and chakras invoke and evoke the cosmic forces metaphysical. Sai Baba is the avatar often seen making gestures in the air. It does so in order dispersion and cleaning up the environment and atmosphere of negative energies. The metaphysical professional or ceremonial magician uses his hand to say a few things and conditions.

To conclude this section, we salute your hands so we offer – The opportunity to grow and serve. The fingers and thumbs should not be arguing about who is the greatest, as mentioned in some ancient fables, because all have their place in supporting the need for us to pursue our dreams, in carrying out our tasks terrestrial and cosmic mission. The proper functioning of joint of the fingers and thumbs is a metaphor for the relationship between law and cooperation of the son of men express the will of God, like the fingers and hands is manifested the will of its owner.
