Ksepana Mudra
This Mudra stimulates elimination through the large intestine, skin and lungs. It helps  release tensions of all kinds. Since we live in and around people all the time we receive all kinds of energies, which can be negative and depleting, thus privacy and solitude are essential. Without it we can be robbed of essential energy, and can become weak and our immune systems can get compromised with this continuous and unabated onslaught of negative energy. The Ksepana Mudra should be held for seven to fifteen breaths concentrating on the exhalation. Then the hands should be relaxed and placed on the thighs with the palms turned upwards.
Place the index fingers of both hands vertically against one another.
The other fingers are clasped and interlocked with the fingers of one hand resting on the back of the other hand.
The thumbs are crossed tight and placed against the hollow of the other thumb.
The two touching index fingers should only have their tips meeting and there should be space between them.
When you are seated, the index fingers should be pointed to the ground and when lying down they should point in the direction of the feet.
Rudra Mudra
The Rudra Mudra strengthens the earth element and its organs. It is a good antidote for weakness. It should be practised with both hands for about five minutes three to six times a day.
The tips of the thumb, index finger and ring finger should be placed together.
The middle and index fingers should be relaxed and extended.
