Clapping with hands while singing Aarti and bhajans, we feel pure and refreshed and help us in concentrating on Diety. When we are happy we clap the hands to express joy and happiness. Even little babies clap their hands to express joy and approval. The World Health Organisation (WHO) confirmed that clapping of hands is one of the best exercises. There are cases where many people regained their visions in six to twelve months just by clapping for about 20-30 minutes every morning. The following are the benefits of clapping.
Clapping is
associated with all good things in life – promotions, good grades,
celebrations, and more. It’s associated with happiness in our life. Our body
has 340 known pressure points, 28 of which are in our hand says Dr
Rahul Dogra from Kairali Ayurveda group, Delhi. One can identify those
pressure points and massage them to enjoy amazing benefits that pressure
therapy has to offer. These points have direct connections to different organs
of the body, which means we can stimulate these pressure points to alleviate
pain in different body organs.
Clap your hands! Clap your hands! It’s a very common
poem used among pre-school kids. Do you know, that clapping hands can be a boon
for your health. Many of you might be thinking it a joke, but it actually
happens. Today we will be telling you the benefits of clapping hands.
The benefits of clapping hands is directly based
upon the working of Acupressure theory. This seems to a joke if we tell
that “Clapping hands make a healthy health”, but the good thing is it is
absolutely right and worth too. Clapping, a simple striking of hands, but
its much more than you think.
Clapping therapy
One should apply coconut, mustard oil or a mix of both oils on
the palms so that it will be absorbed by the body. Wear socks and leather shoes
to prevent any leaking of the energy waves generated in the body. Strike both
hands against each other, right to left, keeping them straight facing each
other and the arms a little loose. Fingertips and the palm of each hand should
strike each other. This therapy is advisable in morning hours to get maximum
results.
Clapping for 20 to 30 minutes
in the morning keeps you fit and active. As mentioned clapping stimulates blood
circulation, this blood circulation removes all obstructions in the veins and
arteries, including bad cholesterol suggests Dr Dogra.

K.C.
Bhardwaj: Crush chronic illness with your clapping hands!
K.C. Bhardwaj is a 76-year-old
man from India who says that hands clapping cured his glaucoma:
“Over a decade back I was
looking for a miracle cure to glaucoma. I had started lose vision in both eyes.
I did not have the courage to undergo surgery. It was then I heard at a
‘satsang’ that clapping could cure diseases and that was why devotees clapped while
reciting kirtans. I regained my vision in about a year just by clapping for
about half an hour every morning.”
What research shows: Clap your hands for brain power
A researcher in Israel conducted
the first study of hand-clapping songs, revealing a direct link between those
activities and the development of important skills in children of all ages.
Dr. Idit Sulkin says “We found
that children in the first, second and third grades who sing these songs
demonstrate skills absent in children who don’t take part in similar
activities. We also found that children who spontaneously perform hand-clapping
songs in the yard during recess have neater handwriting, write better and make
fewer spelling errors.”

1. As
Clapping hands indicate active physical involvement it break out of
lethargy which helps the wandering mind to focus on the Bhakti ritual and away
from the personal/worldly thoughts. It also activates the emotional level
by inducing the devotee to appreciate the Bhakti ritual and attach his mind to
it.
2. When we clap in
the Temple or in our house a mild heat is produced and the complete atmosphere
transforms and becomes pleasant.
With
this, the blood cells in our body get energy and our immunity improves.
In
the palm of the hands there are lots of meridians points. All these
meridians are connected to certain inner organs, such as the heart, the liver,
the kidneys etc. There are 39 different acupressure points for
almost all organs on our palm which are activated by clapping and this action
improves your health slowly but effectively. So while clapping we are
sending energy to all these points. If any organs has an energy
block, it helps release it, so that the inner organs may function in a better
way.

has two functions- it stimulates receptors in the palms and circulates blood in
our body. The Receptors in the Palm transport the sensations to the brain.
There are sensory fields in the brain. These fields have right and left sides
in the brain and is called Homunculus. In this homunculus, hands and face have
maximum representation. Therefore, clapping stimulates maximum portion of
brain.
4. Clapping hands

hands upward for five minutes his blood pressure will become normal. Disease
like heart conditions, hypertension, and diabetes, depression, asthma, common
cold, and arthritis, headaches, insomnia and hair loss could be cured by
clapping.
