Many spiritual traditions incorporate the use of mudras, or hand gestures. (Even Christianity uses the "Praying Hands" mudra.) This is not surprising, as the hands are very sensitive and expressive, and, as it is argued, their positions can affect mental states and bodily conditions. If you do not believe this latter part, perhaps consider the power of symbols can have over the body and mind (maybe via suggestion). These couple of links give some of the major mudras and the deepleaf link gives an interesting introduction to them.
