> It won't be long before the West I hope catches onto the next phase which is learning about Mudras - kind of an accupressure to target certain nerves.

Mudras are awesome! I discovered them accidentally because I'd get spots on my fingers that felt "heavy" and would make me jerk and shiver when touched.

Pressing them can clear the tension, but it's always a temporary relief. If I can shiver then the energy release is much better.

I've tried various mudras but not known what to expect from them, or how best to use them. And never seen an explanation (or anyone else) experiencing what I do.




Western psychotherapy has developed a specific ritual for activating this kind of shivering focused on releasing traumatic energy. It's called a TRE (Trauma Release Exercise) and particularly when done in the presence of someone who can help guide through energetic blocks, I've found it to be a transformative experience.

As alanberg says, go for a indian qualified teacher, people do yoga retreats for this stuff in India. Or ask a pandit at a Hindu temple
