Jnana mudra, is the mudra of knowledge. Jnana mudra is created by placing the tips of the thumb and the index together to form a circle with the palms facing up, this mudra actually stimulates an opening effect, allowing for a receiving from the divine source.
The thumb represents universal consciousness, while the index finger represents individual consciousness.
The unity in this gesture symbolizes the union of the divine self with the individual self, resulting in the transcendence of this world.
“The circular shape creates a non-linear attitude in the mind, which helps us break patterns of thinking that tangle us up in the past and the future, so that we can better connect to the present moment.” (Chris Tompkins, Yogapedia)
It is believed that practicing jnana mudra can help with insomnia, improves creativity, increases mental peace and spirituality, and stabilizes the mind. It is also benefitial for the memory and regulates the flow of air in the body.
Be thankful. Be kind. Be open, honest, and always, always BE YOU; BE ALL of YOU. – #Chelz { ✨ B E 🦄 M A G I C ✨ }
