Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Despite the odd-sounding name, mudras (yoga hand movements) have plenty to offer. Regular practice of them, this volume assures, can help prevent exhaustion, lessen anxiety, control diet and relieve PMS symptoms. Mesko (Healing Mudras), who studied hand postures under the renowned Tantric guru Yogi Bhajan, explains concisely and convincingly the connection between mudras and the seven chakras, or energy centers. A cross between Fran Drescher and Hedy Lamarr, the blissful, flowered tiara-wearing Mesko is photographed while at one with nature or posing in a studio, demonstrating each of the dozens of mudras designed for female well being. Simple directions on how to position one's fingers, align the spine and shoulders and breathe deeply accompany the pictures, along with visualizations and several routine affirmations (e.g., "I am connected to and part of the universal creative energy"). Mesko promises that just three minutes of mudras will be beneficial; for busy women, that alone might be reason enough to put their hands together-and clap. 130 b&w photos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elegant Mindfulness, January 9, 2005
This review is from: Power Mudras: Yoga Hand Postures for Women (Paperback)
I don't use this book much, but it's a keeper. At first, I felt kind of silly using the mudras. I've been a yoga practitioner for about ten years, but just sitting still with my hands in sometimes awkward positions made me ask if I was doing anything worthwhile. However, I'm someone who has always had a hard time with meditation. I simply can't sit still for any period of time without becoming fidgety or falling asleep. I gave up a long time ago and switched to moving meditations such as yoga and walking.

This technique is remarkably similar to NLP (neuro linguistic programming) yet if Mesko mentions this I somehow missed it.

Mesko provides a mudra for nearly every situation or emotion imaginable. Illustrations are clear, which is a good thing because a few of her written instructions are not. The cover and illustrations within the book are elegant with a mystical feel. Even if you decide not to practice the mudras, the positive affirmations accompanying each one are inspirational, uplifting and empowering. Recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mostly a picture book, February 26, 2006
This review is from: Power Mudras: Yoga Hand Postures for Women (Paperback)
I have to admit, I don't use mudras much, but I am intrigued by the idea. This book presents MANY different mudras and has great illustrations to go with them. Very easy to follow. I would have liked more explaination on how and why they work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Found My Happy Place!, September 9, 2010
By 
HoneyMaven (Southern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Power Mudras: Yoga Hand Postures for Women (Paperback)
Last night I used this book for the first time. Empowered, peaceful, happy & beautiful is how I felt after doing about six mudra exercises at 3 minutes a piece. I couldn't believe I could feel so good doing something so simple. My spine felt straight and strong when the practice was complete(I was slouching before). Other reviewers said the pictures were hard to see but I had no problem and was content with the photographs. If you get this book and do not like the layout then find a book you do like because mudra practice is too nice to be missed in my opinion. I'm on a quest to better care for myself and this book was in line with that.
