Chinmaya Mudra

From Ayurwiki
Jump to: navigation, search

The thumb and forefinger are the same as in Chin Mudra. The rest of the fingers are folded into a fist. The non-folded part of the forefinger and the middle finger should still be touching. As in Chin Mudrā, the hands are placed palms-up on the thighs while sitting in Vajrasana.

Uses

  1. This mudra activates the ribs, making them expand sideways on inhalation.
  2. Slow breathing in a 5-2-4-2 counted rhythm, it causes prana flow in the torso and in the throat.
