Taoist hand-signs (mudra)

Recommended Posts

Hello!

 

Does anybody have a reliable reference for hand signs used in Taoist meditation? I have learnt some Buddhist ones but have heard that the Taoist ones are quite different in meaning/purpose....

You can google kuji kiri, an ancient system which many religions adopted some of its mudras.Although it is mainly used for sorcery, it is an excellent short path in cultivating awareness if you are virtuous, and make it your own.

Jerry Alan Johnson gives many examples and uses in his latest work "Daoist Internal Alchemy: Neigong and Weigong Training - The Secret Teaching of Esoteric Daoist Magic"
