Super interesting Andrew!! Really loved this article.
In Kundalini yoga, the use of Mudras and mantras is a key element of the practice. Mudras are hand positions, and mantras are normally sung or spoken with intention.. Each mudra has its own significance given their connections, as you have so eloquently mentioned. Each finger also has a connection to a planet, and when using the positions, it gives further significance to the overall intention. I really love how the combination of vibration/frequency, with the mantras/chanting coupled with the use of hand gestures, gives further depth to the overall process, which is ultimately to connect to our inner source of energy so that we may radiate outwards and connect with the higher source... xx
I think the image put so many people off reading this passage!!! I wonder if your association with the fingers and planets is the same as mine? I recall being at an astrology conference and offering my hand as an example to Johann and Louise Hjelmborg who had trained in palmistry/ astrology from India and was able to tell, from my hand, that I'd Saturn in the 9th, Sun in the 7th, Moon in the 2nd etc. without looking at my chart!!
We are made in the shape of the cosmos and the cosmos is made in the shape of us! So much more to this life, isn't there?!

Interesting insight
I’ll keep that in mind the next time I do it to somebody who pissed me off. Hopefully we can reach peace after this explanation ^^
