Lotus Mudra
 This Mudra belongs to the heart chakra and is the symbol for purity. It is good during times of loneliness and despair.
Put your hands together, the fingers vertical, relaxed and spread out.
The lower portion of the palms touch as well as the pads of the little fingers and thumbs.
If the hands are closed, they resemble the bud of a lotus flower.
When the hands open and the fingers spread out wide, it is akin to the lotus opening.
After four deep breaths, close both hands back into a bud and place the fingernails of the fingers of both hands on top of each other.
Then join the backs of the fingers, the backs of the hands and allow the hands to hang down for a while, all relaxed.
Bring the hands back into the bud position and the open flower.
Repeat several times.
Pushpaputa Mudra
Pushpa means flowers and this Mudra is a handful of flowers. This Mudra is about openness and acceptance. The gesture itself resembles that emotion.
 Place both hands open and upwards against the thighs, relaxed and with the thumbs placed against the outer edge of the index finger.
