Prana: 

According to many yogi, the hands are stronger than the poses we take with yoga. The yoga teaching tells us that prana (to translate to energy) flows from the fingertips. The secret of technology lies in the nerve endings in our fingers that allow the energy in our body to circulate and improve our daily lives. The different fingers all have their own meaning, namely:

• thumb – stands for willpower (element: fire)
• index finger – stands for ego and expansion (element: air)
• middle finger – stands for conditioned energy and focused on stabilizing power (element: heaven)
• ring finger – represents the individual (element: earth)
• pink – stands for intellect and business (element: water)
