Power Mudras : Yoga Hand Postures for Women

Summary: Elegant Mindfulness
Review: 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.
