The practice is often associated with calmness, concentration, and mental clarity. Many people use it during meditation because the simple hand position can help create a sense of focus and relaxation.
To practice Gyan Mudra, sit comfortably, rest your hands on your knees, and form the gesture with both hands. Breathe slowly and naturally while keeping your body relaxed for several minutes.
Although some traditional claims about its health effects are not strongly supported by scientific evidence, Gyan Mudra can still be a useful part of a mindfulness or meditation routine by encouraging relaxation, steady breathing, and focused attention.
