Finding it easier to drop in to your meditation session when using a mantra but want to take your level of focus (dharana) to the next level? Hakini mudra to the rescue! This is the mudra for focus, concentration, memory, and clarity.
This is my go to mudra before I need to sit down for a couple hours of paper writing.
In Hakini mudra we create a complete circuit of energy in the body by bringing the fingers to touch. It is said that this mudra helps to bring together the right and left hemispheres of the brain.
When I practice Hakini mudra I like to imagine all my scattered energy being drawn back into the center where I can allow it to settle.
Sit with this mudra for anywhere from 2-10 minutes or until you feel ready to focus on your task at hand!
Let me know if you try it out!
