Shiva Linga
 The Shiva linga or Shiva`s phallus is the masculine force and the symbol of destruction and subsequent regeneration. This Mudra It regenerates and is a great healer as well. This Mudra can be done twice a day for four minutes or even longer.
Place the right hand with the thumb extended upward on top of the left hand.
The left hand is like a tight bowl with the fingers held together and cupped.
Both hands should be held at the abdomen and the elbows pointing outwards and slightly forward.
The right hand will be like a fist with the thumb extending upward cradled in the cup of the left hand.
Jnana Mudra and Chin Mudra
 This Mudra is found all over the world in different religions. It is very good for concentration and ensures the practitioner an uncluttered head. These Mudras have a great effect on the person at several planes. There are two ways to do this Mudra. In the first method the tips of the thumb and the index finger touch each other. In the second method, the tip of the index finger touches the first thumb joint with light pressure. Both methods are different. The first is the passive receiving position, and the second one is an actively giving position.
Place the tip of the thumb on the tip of the index finger while the other fingers remain relaxed and extended.
Do this with both hands and place them on the thigh in a relaxed position.
When the fingers point upwards it is called Jnana Mudra and when they point downwards it is called Chin Mudra.
