Dynamic Mudra
As the name suggests, this meditation is dynamic. In Dynamic Mudra, one should keep on moving the fingers, keep the breathing slow and inhale and exhale evenly. This Mudra relaxes the nerves hence it can be practised everyday for up to half an hour.
During each exhalation, place one of your fingertips on the tip of your thumb.
While inhaling, extend the fingers again.
Speak a syllable mantra while doing this. During saaa, press together the thumb and index finger; during taaa, use middle finger and thumb; during naaa use ring finger and thumb; during maaa, use little finger and thumb.
Do this with each hand.
When you do it the second time, press your fingernail instead of your fingertip with your thumb.
During the third time, press your whole finger with the thumb. At the same time, press your fingertip into the palm of the hand.
Dhyani Mudra
This is a gesture of meditation and the mudra is like a submission. This is the classic meditation pose. The bowl shape made by the hands indicates that we are empty to receive new energy.
Both hands should be placed on the lap like bowls.
The left hand lies in the right hand and the thumbs touch each other.
