OK Mudras

OK continuing with this OK sign.As far as i know its a universal hand gesture for OKAY, i may be wrong, in some countries it could be a rude signal, i will continue research on that. 

The Scuba Diving community adopted it very early to signify I AM OK down here, in this uncertain environment i can breath, i am safe right now, ect ect. Which is a good reference for me because The Shadow Agent is saying that even here when we are uncertain its ok. It may be chaotic outside but i am cool inside. Shit may be happenin as it does... but i am OK. I am not even in control but i am ok dealing with what ever happens.

The Buddha used a lot of hand gestures or Mudras ( from the Sanskrit meaning seal) to signify things. Sort of a non verbal communication device to get across an insight or an experience. A sacred language of communication, when you are in Bliss you just don't want to talk. The OK hand sign has many ancient references.

It is called The Vitaka Mudra, and signified the Buddha's teachings. It's also called The Gyan Mudra and is made to clear ones mental faculties, bringing about mental peace (an ataraxis) it improves concentration & sharpens the memory.A slight variation of this is called The Chin Mudra where the index finger touches the base of the thumb, this is often seen in deep meditation poses.

Mudras are ways to integrate the BodyMind in such a way that we experience a unity of mind body & Spirit. The Art & Science of Mudras is extensive, and not just confined to Buddhism or Yoga look at images of the Christ and the saints of Christianity and you will see them posing ( particularly in Renaissance religious paintings) with various esoteric hand signs.

I find it very interesting. 

So practice... OK !
