Well Im not sure what mudras are used for other than meditation.In my opinion I dont think they will improve your skills.This is not television, this is real life.

They're rather pointless.
Just like chanting a spell, doing a dance, constructing complicated ritual based on symbols, etc.: it will assist you as much as you believe that it will assist you. You may gather the same amount of energy without using any movement, yet by doing so you may remove some mental blocks if you have any doubt about succeeding and believe that the use of hand signs will help.
Understand?
I think I stated that a little confusingly.
But the basic is:
No.

Anchoring is like thinking or saying 'psi ball' and one will manifest.What will a hand sign be useful or anchoring?

hand signs are the same as saying something.. it takes the same pattern
action > subconscious > event
it doesnt matter if you spin in a circle 5 times or you say "parunga" to make a shield, .. anchoring is basic..
talking is easier.. but body movements are faster

yeah, but a word anchor such as "levitate" in order to levitate is much faster than to make a hand sign for it

If anyone is from UPC forums you know the answer to this. Anyway, it's called "nine cuts" and something in Japanese lol. You realize you aren't doing the technical hand signs Naruto is doing... I suggest you look it up and do the real ones.
But, hey making up your own stuff is just as good, since it will get you just as far. Depends how much belief you put behind these handsigns, and how much you are focusing. Look at it like a sort of meditation, if you are doing the hand signs for fun and not intently focusing on psi and your task you're wasting your time.

It should work, as long as your still gathering energy. I'd just think of the signs as the programming. Could be easier for somepeople. I wouldn't recommend it, hands alone will cause mental block later. But hand signs, much bigger mental block.

I think it's a bunch of pish posh! Make a hand sign to levitate?Even if that was an ex. that means you can do tk with a hand sign,RV with one, just about any skill then.

Like rippy said, it's only how much you think it will help. Some people use motions because they can get past their mental blocks. It is usually how they learned to do something, and they don't believe they can do it without performing the motions they've always known. Sometimes, it just feels natural to do hand signs or other types of motion. It may make them more comfortable and help with concentration. The signs do not actually help, but it's all a mental thing.

no, brandonslua got it twisted.
you dont do the hand sign then levitate.
you leviate then assign a hand sign to it.
its like the psiball thing. you creat a psiball, then say a word you want to trgger it the next time. everytime you make a psiball, you say the word. after a while, everytme you put your hands in the psiball position and say the word, a psiball will form (you wont have to be focusing on sending a bunch of psi to your hands) its all on psipog.

Hand signs are used during meditations as another form of mantras (as far as I understand) just with your hands rather than a word.
Most icons of Hindu gods are using some sort of hand sign (or they have something in their hand.
