In magick of ceremony of the Tradition of the west, the hands and the fingers are used for the various goals among which these is to trace symbols, sigils, and the signs in a space or a consecrated object. They also are used to banish, invokes and direct forces to the certain targets. In contrast to the followers of magic of ceremony, the step wizards apply the hands to amuse audiences with their a lot of illusory turns. They call this, "the legerdemain," or the "pass turn passes". In the legerdemain, the hands are used in the various manners to cheat and cheat the eyes, and also in to direct the mental home of the audience. The word that "the hands are quicker than the eye," is a cliched known used by the step wizards.

While always on the recreation subject, we ought consider applause. To applaud it hands in the modern usage is a pleasure expression, the agreement, an accompaniment to the music, or the recognition for someone climbs the execution. Metaphysically, it is said that the ovation dissipates the presence of beings angelicas. These light creatures hate vibrations produced by applause. From the standpoint occult, therefore, applaud is considered as a negative practice.

In the dance, the hand gestures are essential in to transmit or expressing symbolic messages and metaphorical direction. They possess a rich vocabulary and say of the non verbal histories that evoke our essential emotions just like our divine sensations. This easily can be seen and can be tested in the hula-danse of the Polynesian ones. These movements of dances and hand relate various myths of the earth that transports us to another world. In the Hindu classical texts as for the dance, the hundreds of gestures of hand are mentioned, together with the descriptions of the thirteen positions of the head, thirty-six of the eyes, and nine of the neck. In the Hindu dances base on the composition of music of Carnatic, the following mudras is used among a lot of others: Raaga mudra, Tata mudra, Aachaarya mudra, Naayaka mudra, Vamsa mudra, Biruda mudra, Lakshana Grantha mudra, Prabandha mudra, Sthala mudra, etc.

Although the a lot of poses of the hands in the traditional dance can paint symbolic direction, they are so functional in the direction as they modify the field of morphogenic or auric of the human organism, and meant same manner to regulate the energy flow in the body of etheric.

There are numerous forms of style of dance or dances incited by the various levels of the psyche. Basically, we can classify three types to originate dance of the subconsciousness, the conscience and the superconsciousness. To originate it instinctive dance or primitive of the subconsciousness is well known and is posted by the man and the beast. Most of these movements and their left gestures mate of ordinary the dances of course and the relacchement of contained energies. The cultural dances evolved of these not movements refined. They are a projection of what the psyche understands beauty, the grace, the form, the rhythm, etc. The third category could be called mystical dances. They originate more high levels of conscience beyond the reach of the conscious spirit, but of which the energies could be directed by the physical body producing divine movements. Some dance forms are the amalgamation of all the three classifications. The traditional styles of dances of country of the east as India, Thailand, and Indonesia are typical of these. In these dances that mudras often is formed to change the conscience of the dancer and affects indirectly the conscience of the spectators. 16 years ago the writer observed personally one of the dances of traditional Javanese executed by a young very gifted man. The dance was called "Kesadaran," or the "Conscience". We had charmed of an end to the other.

The music often marks we move ourselves and oscillate our hands, our feet, and our body inconsciemment. Why does it this? For the simply reason that the musical energies have the strength to possess our beings and causes a changed state to do conscience loses us a certain degree of check on our system motor physical. All beings are susceptible to music influence. The animals and the plants are especially vulnerable. In the Greek myth hear us often stories of Saucepan, the incarnation of Nature, dancing to the mystical airs of its saucepans pipes, and all those that heard play for him also would participate entertainment, cheerfulness, and the joyous fact. All the same, when the Greek wise Orphede played on his lyre, all became delight, even the boulders attentively listened.

In the Hindu stories of the gods, as found in the bhagavata-purana and the gita-govinda, Krishna is said to have delighted the gory one, or the berga¨res of Vrindavana with his dance of lila and magic flute playing. Every gopi if was hypnotized and was misled by Krishna that they all would forget other around them. They would become if a pointed ones that they would believe that they were the only one a present before their Lord. Evidemment, the music has the strength to cause sensations in ecstasy.

The god Shiva often is painted in the iconography in a dance pose as Nataraja, or "the Lord of Dance". Represent the aspect of Conscience of Nature, why does Shiva engage in a Cosmic dance? The this is because Shakti or the divine energy, the flows by his is and causes spasmes and convulsions first, and then rhythmic movements in attunement with the beating of the Cosmos. Among the witty flames, Shiva dances extasiedment, burning and transmuant all the old old-fashioned forms of life braking the cosmic progress.

In a microcosmic ladder, a shiva-danse arrives from the same manner to a practicien of mudras. The spontaneous dance can perspire following the life awakening forces in the center of psychospiritual the more bottom of the body of etheric. While to direct the mudras the entire practicien is often would move itself involuntarily. The physical body could oscillate sassy and behind, left and to right or turn on his axis. His or its hands would move themselves of their own agreement in the circles, in the arches, in the figure eight, in a cutting the rising movement descendant, or oscillate in an upright left or a direction before behind; sometimes the hands are mysterious placed to the various ones put to bed of will have it, or even to the certain points of home -- to the centers of chakras or body energy. While Shakti is active, she can induce also the practicien to suppose mudras forget how. The energies invoked by mudras have an intelligence all their clean one and they do their work by the movements. They know what to do to balance, purify, transform, or integrate celestial energies in the microcosmic system.

In the martial arts receives, the hands are used as the weapons of defense or of destruction. The "the Claw of the Tiger," the "iron Fist," "the enivred-style Fist," etc, all indicate the various mortal forms that the hands can suppose to hit an opponent or avoid blows. In contrast to this, the more goods arts constructively use the hands and produce of the with creativity objects wonderful of art, and compose and produce the celestial music. As the Cosmic dance of Shiva, the movements of Tai Dump, Pencak Silat, and the others form autodedfense have the party of their origin in an awake source of move of energy by the members producing involuntary movements. These movements were noted later down below and turned in the various steps of martial arts disciplines and training.

Some systems of metaphysical development we teach to move the body in a certain manner. Although this has an effect in the stimulating energies in the this of body is not completely so effective in producing the desired results as when in comparison of the to suppose mudras that causes the energies to produce natural movements all their own agreement.

When we fasten our hands while interlocking our fingers, the thumb to it in over, so just or left indicates which hemisphere of our brain predominates. Psychology says us that if the just thumb is this in over that the is the logic or the reason that is predominant inside us, or if the left thumb, the intuition.

The hands play an important role in to give to be able the spirit to work optimum. Since the energy radiates palms and bouts of the finger, they inconsciemment often are used as the stimulating reconnectent links lost or poor the between the synapses of neurones of brain. In the Magic of Body of book, an important work on the man edsotedrique, the Walker of Junior one describes how the operations of the hands attempt often to improve the processes mental by the certain placements:

"When the bouts of the finger of the two hands together are placed, a circuit is established with the brain that is believed to help thought. The people in the deep thought will speak often with their bouts of the supported fingers together, as s'inconsciemment itself conscious of the need to establish a such running to help their concentration. If a man wishes to recall something that it forgot, his hand instinctively will touch his forehead to contact with its fingers the source of his thought".

Of what was thus written, it is evident that transmits to play far an eminent role in everyday life. This also can be seen in the manner invented us all kinds of idioms as for them. For example, "to lend me a hand," "the transfer," "hand-in-hand," "the old hand," "manual," etc.

**********

As a cure instrument

Chakras, or the energies center are everywhere to be found in the body. There is a chakra to be found in every palm of the hand. There is same manner a chakra minor to every end of the finger. The size, the activity, and the strength of these chakras is dependent on the various factors. One of these are the purity of the subtle chains finishing at these points of chakra. These subtle chains or etheric nadis transmits life forces and everywhere could be projected in the body the exterior one of the body by the hand chakras. The healers of various metaphysical traditions use the hands to transmit energy guedrisone or break toxic crystals sunk in fabrics. Since the Chinese old times doctors diagnosed a state of the person of vitality by to feel the energy force radiates hands, phalanxs of the fingers, and the pulse to the wrist. Among the a lot of systems of therapeutic alternate this usage of brand of the hands is the digipuncture, Shiatsu, the cure of Chakra, Reiki, the Contact of rosicrucian one healing, the Electronique of Body, the various forms of work of massage, etc. As Jesus the Christ, every To Inaugurate on the Witty Way is essentially healer, although it cannot proclaim flagramment or can be done of the advertising for the one being. When the circumstances and the necessity the call it would offer with joy its services to the to suffer the one, always to stress nevertheless that the this is it that does not work, but the "Father" inside him.

As an instrument of blessing and of consecration

The metaphysical sign and proves by the various experiences that personally could be verified by the skeptical ones that the energy radiates hands. This energy could be used to magnetize objects, the places, the spaces or the people for the various goals. The religious term for magnetization is the consecration. The blessing is a consecration form. It refers himself to the magnetization of a human is instead of an object with a witty force. Generally, in the act of consecration or blessing look for us to student vibrations or the frequency of a person or an object, or to give it to be able with the certain energies that would turn in a witty crazy generator that it would influence its immediate vicinity in a certain manner. The thought form impregnated with mental suggestions and the emotional strength often are attached to these blessings. The curses work a lot as the blessings, they nevertheless, provoke negative effects. The curse on the tomb of Tutankhamen is a classical example of this.

Where the people are the worry in the blessing act, the metaphysical practicien would try also to clarify energies not very co-operative or cluttered preventing the person of is conscious of or shares his or his more Top Oneself. Once this purification is attained the person would possess a clearer line of communication with his god or the hidden genius and obtains a more fort feels protection, faith, and a constant direction of the More Top.

In the act of blessing or of consecration, the hands work in the harmony with the strength of the spoken word to modify the structure of magnetic field of people and of objects.

As an instrument of general service

The hands are tools of service and of humanitarian assistance. Wittyly and socially, it is applied in spreading a hand helping our colleagues beings, to those in the need of nude necessities, the comfort and the consolation. In the witty teachings, the yoga of karma often is associated with the hands in to give active without any think about remuneration or without the recognition. This is a vital principle. The desire to serve humanity must come from the heart without any think about oneself or ego. Unselfishness, self-denial, and the active service is important virtues that the person that inhales witty must embody and express to every moment of breathing. When the oneself comfort, the sufficiency, and the oneself advancement is only the motives of assistance to others then the hands poorly are used and any meal to take act is unmeritorious. The witty disciples should not attract the attention to the Fact that they serve. The better service is silent does in the shadows without any brass band or without any announcements. The Jesus of Master explained it with conciseness in this manner: "Not to leave the left hand knows that which the right does". Occult, the left hand is used to receive energies, while the right is employed to give the.

As a teaching instrument

Witty gurus teach in the various manners. They give teachings orally, in the writing, tedledpathiquement, by the example, the symbols, the drama, and by the gesture usage. The hands can transmit a lot of information when informed used bienment. The symbolic movements of the hands can paint the functionings of Cosmic laws and of witty principles. It is said that a picture is worth thousand words. Sometimes the hands can say that the mouth do not can. A key to stretch says something that the words are often unequipped to. In Buddhism zen, the Guru gives often treatments to the shock to its students with the hand usage. A rap on the head or a slaps on the face to the fitting moment and the psychological condition after the excessive meditation is supposed to cause a student to suddenly apperceive the natural state of his spirit and becomes lights up of this manner.

As a purification instrument, the call, the prayer and the communion

Maybe the usage more common of hands in religious and in the metaphysical witty work is his application in the prayer. Basically, this does not demand specialized knowledge. The hands instinctively are used while calling upon God, to the highest intelligences for the intercession or when used simply as the gestures of adoration or the reverence, just as we instinctively scratch our foreheads or pull our beards when we try to excite our mental strengths. The hands could be fastened, spread or supposed in no other manner that the heart dictates while in the silent prayer. The teachings edsotedriques teach nevertheless various mudras, or the hand gestures that have specific goals for the call of cosmic forces and the witty beings. The formula liturgique "The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost, Amen" in the Christian Tradition accompanied with to touch it fitting points of the head and of body to the conclusion of a prayer transmits a certain strength to the body of etheric when correctly does. Nevertheless, the quick manner in which it is executed furnishes very small value. In the Hinduism, such to place hands on the certain parties of the body with the magic intention is called Nyasa.

To share the divinity inside us can apply various mudras that facilitates the mystical communion. Mudras establishes a psychological condition in the spirit and the body that temporary student our conscience, and disperses the canvass of etheric that protects the psyche of are predmaturedment bombarded by the psychological/celestial energies. It aligns and unites our conscience objectifies with the spirit of superconscious. A changed state of conscience easily is attained by the hand usage in to execute it mudras. By mudras our communion with the so-called supernatural one is checked. We open and close the portiques to the highest worlds by the application of our will.

In ceremony magick that the hands considerably are used to direct and develop forces in a place of worship and a sacred practice. The symbols are drawn on the ground or in the air with the strength radiating hands and chakras to invoke and evoke cosmic metaphysical forces. Change Sai Hippie often is seen gesture doing in the air. It does this with the intention of to disperse and with the intention of the cleaning of the vicinity and the ambient atmospheres of the negative energies. The metaphysical practicien or ceremony wizard uses the hands in to show the certain things and the certain conditions.

To conclude this item that we would like to rent the hands for what they offer ourselves -- the occasion to grow and serve. The fingers and the hand thumbs should not dispute themselves among itself as for that is the biggest one, as secured in some old fables, for they have their place in to support the need in us ampler to follow our dreams, in to fill our earthly tasks and our cosmic mission. To work it harmonious secured of the fingers and the hand thumbs is a metaphor for relation and the just cooperation between the sons of men to show the Will of God, just as the fingers and the hands show the will of his owner. The usage more noble of our hands is to spread it in friendship, in the benevolence and in absolute love.
