Why to clap hands



I always used to wonder why in the east, people used to clap their hands while performing [Bhajans] or  [Kirtans]. We generally think it is to please gods. But to my surprise it was something else. The [Rishis] which we can also call as ancient scientist knew many art for keeping oneself healthy. One was by clapping hands.

Clapping hands is the simplest and shortest way to do Acupressure on the multiple points on our palm and fingers. And once we are healthy (body and mind), it is easy to connect with existence. Kindly read the article  Acupressure  and other articles on Acupressure, if you are new to it.

But there is a way and period to clap our hands.

How to do

  • Clap with both your hands, each of your fingers and palm of right hand exactly corresponding to your left hand.
  • Keep a distance of 1 to 2 feet between both your hands
  • The clap should be hard. Your palm and fingers should become pink/red.
  • We can also rub our right palm and fingers on left palm and fingers in order to touch all the points which is missed in normal clapping

How much time

  • Minimum - 5 minutes
  • Optimum – 10 minutes (Till your palms become red or pink)

When to do

  • Preferably on an empty stomach or 1 hour after breakfast/meals.

Key Points

  • Shortest and simplest way to do Acupressure without having any knowledge of the exact Acupressure points.
  • Do not do half clapping. E.g. Clapping with Right hand fingers on left hand palm or vice versa.
  • There are around 41 diseases which can be prevented or cured, just by clapping every day.
  • You can refer the points on the palm and fingers in acupressure. All those corresponding glands and organs will be healthy. Some of them are  :

o   Eyes
o   Ears
o   Thyroid
o   Lungs
o   Heart
o   Kidney
o   Liver
o   Pancreas
o   Intestine
o   Bladder
o   Colon
o   Thymus
o   Shoulder
o   Brain
o   Pituitary Gland
o   Neck
o   Sinus
o   Pineal
o   Appendix

Wisdom Pointer:

Always prefer to attend Prayers, [Bhajans], [Kirtans],[Satsang] or any other occasion where we can clap our hands. It doesn’t matter whether we understand the music/song or not, but do find every opportunity to clap.
