Gyan mudra (Chin mudra) is a sacred hand gesture or ‘seal’ used to direct energy and maintain focus. Gyan mudra is one of the most important and well known mudras, found across Buddhist, Hindu and Yoga traditions alike. Gyan is Sanskrit for ‘wisdom,’ and so this gesture is sometimes referred to as the Mudra of Knowledge.To perform this mudra, bring the tip of the thumb and index finger together on both hands, forming a circle. Keep the remaining three fingers outstretched with the palm facing upward.The Gyan Mudra stimulates the root chakra, easing tension and depression.
