What Am I Doing With My Hands?
Mudras. Jestures of divine inspiration, energy reception and transmission. Sometimes when experiencing spiritual changes from dedicated focus on yogic practices, one may spontaneously go into movements that compel us to hold these graceful gestures during periods of increased movement of energy in the body. This may be accompanied by feeling the tingles of Mata Shakti (Kundalini) up and down the spine, as it lovingly knocks on the back door to the hrit (heart/anahata/surya chakra). Feeling lifted and enraptured by a gradual transcendence of the corporeal body (Anamaya Kosha) as you move. Also, just consciously doing them during times of meditative focus can be very pleasant to the nervous system and psychic sensitivities, bestowing a sense of calm and comfort to the heart and mind.
