While yoga surely includes that, what is also present in Yoga is mudras. Mudras are hand postures which means using the fingers to make specific postures of the hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The science of Ayurveda believes that the human body is comprised of five natural elements (air, fire, space, earth and water) and these five elements are represented by our five fingers. It is said that if all five elements are balanced, then the body is in a state of well-being. Any imbalance in any one of these elements may lead to illness.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our fingers are believed to be like live wires that conduct electric current through them. When we do a mudra, one or more fingers touch the thumb and an electric circuit is completed. Through this completed electric circuit, the life energy flows and helps bring about balance in the elements<a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Shahid-Rajput\/publication\/308693036_The_Source_Meanings_And_Use_Of_Mudra_Across_Religions\/links\/58133ff908aedc7d8961c693\/The-Source-Meanings-And-Use-Of-Mudra-Across-Religions.pdf\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a><sup>,<\/sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.academia.edu\/44996765\/Mudra_Therapy_and_Its_Classification?auto=citations&amp;from=cover_page\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mudras are said to have many potential benefits for the holistic development of a person. One such mudra is the Gyan mudra.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Gyan_Mudra\"><\/span><strong>What is Gyan Mudra?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The word mudra is formed by joining two Sanskrit words \u2018<em>mud\u2019<\/em> meaning joy or happiness and \u2018<em>ra\u2019 <\/em>which means to generate or produce. It signifies that the practice of mudra produces happiness or joy. The various hand and finger movements done while practicing any mudra are believed to build essential links in the nervous system and invigorate certain energy pathways in the body.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gyan mudra (also spelled Jnana mudra) is a powerful mudra of learning and wisdom. It has been practiced by yoga gurus striving for peace and spiritual development since ancient times. The word Jnana or Gyan means knowledge or wisdom. Gyan mudra is hence the mudra for intuitive knowledge. It is also known as the psychic gesture of consciousness<a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Shahid-Rajput\/publication\/308693036_The_Source_Meanings_And_Use_Of_Mudra_Across_Religions\/links\/58133ff908aedc7d8961c693\/The-Source-Meanings-And-Use-Of-Mudra-Across-Religions.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a><sup>,<\/sup><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210814014332id_\/https:\/\/www.kheljournal.com\/archives\/2021\/vol8issue3\/PartA\/8-2-38-777.pdf\"><sup>5<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Do_It\"><\/span><strong>How to Do It?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The mudras should be practiced with proper technique to obtain maximum health benefits. The steps to do Gyan mudra are as follows:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Sit in a comfortable position on the ground. The best pose to practice Gyan mudra is Padmasana (a simple cross-legged posture where each foot is placed on the opposite thigh) or Vajrasana (a sitting pose where you first kneel and then sit back on your legs so that your heels touch your buttocks).\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place your hands on your knees with the palms facing upwards. In each hand, join the tip of the index finger to the tip of the thumb. Apply light pressure between the tips of the thumb and forefinger.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the other three fingers outstretched.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This is how Gyan mudra should be practiced.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You may continue practicing Gyan mudra for five minutes. The normal time for performing any mudra may range from 15-30 minutes. For effective results, it is recommended that you practice this mudra for 24 minutes<a href=\"https:\/\/www.academia.edu\/44996765\/Mudra_Therapy_and_Its_Classification?auto=citations&amp;from=cover_page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a><sup>,<\/sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9347266\/?report=classic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><sup>4<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul><div id=\"sfa_container_164538\" class=\"sfa_container\" style=\"display:none\"><div class=\"sfa_overlay\"><\/div><button id=\"sfa_btn_164538\" class=\"sfa_btn\">Show Full Article<\/button><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_You_Know\"><\/span><strong>Do You Know?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some interesting facts about Gyan Mudra that make for an interesting read:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The Dakshinamurthy form of Lord Shiva, painted in certain Kerala temples dating back to the 16th CE onwards, shows the Gyan mudra posture. This form of Lord Shiva has four hands with the lower right hand assuming the Gyan mudra. Here, the thumb represents God and the forefinger represents man. The three outstretched fingers represent the three innate human impurities like egotism, delusion, and misdeeds of the previous births. The Gyan mudra thus metaphorically implies that man can reach God if he remains away from the aforementioned impurities<a href=\"http:\/\/www.heritageuniversityofkerala.com\/JournalPDF\/Volume6\/35.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><sup>6<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Gyan mudra is also practised by Buddhists who know it by the name of Vitarka mudra.

It is performed the same way as Gyan mudra except that the right hand is not kept on the thigh but raised and kept close to the heart with the thumb and forefinger facing the person<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20180421002448id_\/http:\/\/ijsc.net\/docs\/issue5\/theory_and_practice_of_hastha_yoga.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><sup>3<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Gyan_Mudra\"><\/span><strong>Benefits of Gyan Mudra<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gyan mudra is said to be a Yoga mudra with various benefits that may be helpful in maintaining good health and enhancing your spiritual level.
