My Dad fwd me an email  yesterday and I thought of posting it so that it might be helpful.

 lt reads "health in your hands " and it explains certain health benifits with a few Mudras that can be done daily anytime and anywhere. 

My Dad generally encourages me to opt for natural methods of healing or exercising. He often mentions me to do yoga instead of gym , play outdoor games like Tennis instead of aerobics ....... but me being a bit lazy gal , I often end up in gym now a days. I do consider his other advices a lot as it has been very true and useful to me in all  ways. 

Now that these Mudras are very easy and can be done anywhere, I am sure it will be an easy task for people who are either a bit lazy like me or busy at work.
