Shivi Verma
The master of mudras

The readers of Life Positive are no strangers to Abhaykumar Shah.

Ever since we published his first article in 2017, he has been fast gaining popularity amongst holistic health enthusiasts. This led us to not only start his monthly column but also to host him at the International Life Positive Spiritual Festival in Coimbatore last year. The wealth of his vast knowledge of the ancient science of mudras awed everybody alike.

Here, he details his journey of discovering the miracles hidden in mudras and how they changed his life.

You are an ace mudra the rapist. Please share your journey of discovering this ancient science?

I had a severe spine ache around 1998. I consulted many doctors and surgeons who, ultimately, advised spine surgery, a risky procedure, which I didn’t want to undergo. I started searching for alternative solutions to my problem. Somebody suggested acupressure, and I tried it. It made a considerable difference, so I started studying it. I bought many books explaining the philosophy of acupressure and read them well.
