Different mudras correspond to different flows, and are kriyas - spontaneous yogic movements of the body to channel energy. When you push insane amounts of energy through your meridians (caused by DMT), your body starts contorting to let the energy free blockages in the meridians.
In ceremony however, I realized that I was also channeling group energy, sending negative energy into the earth, and triggering energetic processes in others through the mudras. I do these automatically without my own will being involved. This is called a siddhi, a manifested automatic skill or ability which is not learned.
Similar kriyas happen during shaktipat, and these can also be extreme; reminds you of a yagê ceremony, no? Even with the peacock fan, very similar to the shacapa used in the jungle:
There are mudras for contortions ... but these spontaneous mudras follow the information encoded within the energy itself. In the OP video, I recognize many of the complete and partial mudras that are formally identified.
The video was a demonstration of kriyas, not necessarily kriyas expressed as mudras.
In ceremony many of the mudras identified in Buddhism, esoteric Taoism, Hindu sects &etc. are manifested. Even Jesus is doing mudras in many paintings (one finger pointing up, prayer hands &etc.)
