Mudras are yoga positions, gestures, and seals for your hands and fingers that facilitate health, healing, psychological balance and spiritual transformation.  Some mudras use the whole body and breath.  They are effective, easy to learn, practical and powerful, and anyone can do them. 

This hand mudra is called Purna Hridaya. It can help promote mental/emotional stability.  Breath capacity and the immune system also can improve.  It can bring relief when you’re feeling the blues.

How to do the Purna Hridaya hand mudra

1. Hold your palms in front of your heart with your fingers pointing upwards.
2. Interlace your knuckles inward at the upper joint.
3. Make sure the right index finger is closest to your heart.
4. Stretch your thumbs downward and touch their tips to form the shape of a heart.
