A research suggests, “Gyan Mudra in yoga is a powerful hand gesture that symbolizes the union of individual consciousness with universal knowledge, enhancing focus, meditation, and mental clarity during practice.”
To perform this yoga mudra, sit down in a comfortable position and maintain a straight spine and a relaxed body. You can either sit on a chair or on the floor with your legs crossed. When you position your fingers the right way, place your hands on your tights or knees.
“The thumb is believed to represent universal consciousness, and the index finger denotes individual consciousness. When the index finger bends towards the thumb, an individual consciousness is surrendered to the universal consciousness.”
Experienced practitioners advise that the best time to practice this pose is in the early morning (4-6 AM) for the most results. You can start with 10 to 12 minutes a day and work your way up to 30 minutes as you get accustomed.
Among the physical benefits of this routine are better digestion and gut health, improved muscular support, improved breathing, enhanced body stability and balance.
It also improves your sleeping pattern.
