The Man in the Mirror Project - Divine Energy

For centuries people around the world have held their hands in prayer, speaking within to a higher source. Where did this "putting the hands" together come from and what does it really represent?

In some philosophies the position of the hands represents what's called a "mudra", which symbolizes a particular message. Gregg Braden tells us in his book, Awakening to Zero Point, that the hands have layers of circuitry which connect the primary points of something called "chakras" to various portions of our body. That internal organs have “contact points” located on the surface of the skin. In eastern medicine, these pathways of current that run through our body are called meridians. It is along these meridian lines that precise contact points are identified and used in the ancient sciences of acupressure and acupuncture.

In the fleshy tip of each finger is an electrical point that proves direct access to a chakra zone through one or more meridians. Each fingertip is associated with one primary chakra,

When we hold our hands in the prayer position, the hands are placed as such to communicate with God, the Creator. This "mudra" of prayer is that of the hands facing one another in front of the body, fingers extended with the tips and palms touching one another.

Each fingertip, through touching the opposite hand fingertips, completes the circuits and provides access to the associated chakras simultaneously. It is enhanced through the contact of the large chakra point located in the center of each hand, the palm chakra. It is through these points, the fingertips and palm chakras that energy-information-light is directed to other parts of the body. For many, these techniques are almost instinctual, as they mirror a “knowing” from another aspect of their being. Through the science of this prayer mudra it may become an intentional process of acknowledging a “oneness” with all of creation and thereby channeling divine energy within our very beings.
