Dharmachakra Mudra
This is very significant and symbolic of turning the wheel. The hands form two wheels and in Hindu mythology the wheel signifies completion. The two wheels here indicate the teaching of reincarnation. The left middle finger (Saturn) represents the transition from this world into the next - from death and birth.
Raise both hands in front of the chest with the right hand higher than the left.
Join the thumbs and index fingers of each hand.
The palm of the left hand faces the heart and the back of the right hand faces the body.
The left middle finger touches the place where the thumb and index finger of the right hand form a closed circle.
While forming this Mudra, breathe deeply and slowly.
Naga Mudra
This Mudra is also known as the Mudra of deep insight. The Naga Mudra is useful to solve everyday problems. It helps to work through obstacles that we encounter on the spiritual path.
Cross the hands in front of the chest and cross the thumbs over each other.
