Gyan Mudra (or Jnana Mudra) is a hand gesture used in yoga, Buddhism, and Hinduism to boost meditation and mental clarity. It’s formed by touching the thumb and index finger together, with the other fingers extended and palm facing up.
Symbolically, the thumb represents universal consciousness and the index finger represents individual consciousness—their union reflects self-realization.
Best practiced early in the morning (4–6 AM) for 10–30 minutes, Gyan Mudra offers both physical benefits (better digestion, breathing, sleep, and muscular balance) and mental benefits (sharper focus, less anxiety, and stimulation of the pineal gland).
Simple yet powerful, Gyan Mudra harmonizes the mind and body, making it ideal for deepening your spiritual and wellness practice.
