 |
|
I have a feeling I might not have the right terminology for the practice of Mudras... 
Whe some people meditate, they hold their hands in different possitions, for example, I usually hold the tip of my thumbs connected to my index fingers resting palm up on my legs. I know also of another possition which I have used, which is holding one hand on top of the other both thumbs touching, and slightly away from below the navel like 2 or three inches, which is supposed to be the center in the body from which chi flows.
I am curious to know about the particular meanning of each of these two mudras, and how do they benefit a meditator.
Thanks in advance for the response(s)...

"Christ in my heart, Buddha in my mind."
A curious signature.
Interesting.
