UNDERSTANDING YOGA MUDRAS
In yoga tradition, mudras are specific finger positions that direct and regulate prana (life force). The thumb represents Brahman (universal consciousness) while the index finger represents Jivatman (individual self). Uniting them — as in Chin Mudra — symbolizes the union of individual and cosmic consciousness.
