Guest guest Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Sat Nam! Can someone tell me why the venus lock must be done with a different position of the little fingers between women and men? Why men have to keep the left little finger out and women (to the contrary) have to keep the right little finger? Thank you in advance for the answer :-) Fateh Dharma!

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Sat Nam! It's not about the Mercury finger, it's about the energy flowing through the thumbs as they rest on the fleshy mound of the opposite thumb. In women the receptive ( " south pole " ) energy is dominant and in men opposite. Because the energy flows through the hands and the Venus lock is a strong lock wherein the thumb and " venus " mound are locked, the energy flow is strong and in reverse polarity for men and women. So, the easy way to teach it is, " Men - right thumb closer to the body. Women - left thumb closer to the body. " ......G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Sat Nam Sujan Singh and all, Venus Lock entails having all fingers alternating, from the smallest to the top thumb. Men, whose right thumb is on top, naturally end up with the left little finger last. Women, whose left thumb is on top, naturally end up with the right little finger being last. In the 1980s David Shannahoff Khalsa was asked by Yogiji to research the benefits of men and women doing it correctly, and the outcome if it is done the opposite way. When Yogiji proposed this scientific experiment he mentioned that many people normally fold their hands in their lap in a Venus Lock position, and that you can tell where they are at if you pay attention—such as when viewing politicians on TV. The general problems are that a man who does it the female way cannot be trusted, and women who do it the male way can be rude and manipulative. Whether or not David did the research, he would be able to expound upon this explanation more thoroughly. Yogji mentioned that he did not teach the reason for male and female versions of Venus Lock because he did not want to “take the flak.” His reasoning was that if David researched it scientifically it would not be questioned, and could be shared freely at that time. Back then I naturally held my hands with the right thumb on top. It felt uncomfortable to do it the female way. But it only took a month of consciously setting my fingers correctly when meditating, riding in a car and watching TV, etc, for it to self-correct. And, yes, I feel the difference in temperment.
