Prana-Mudra

Used in Taoism and yoga the prana mudra is referred to as “a beneficial ritual gesture.” It is made with the index and middle fingers extending upwards with the tips of the pinkie, ring finger, and thumb together. The prana mudra is a potent mudra symbolizing the energetic link of heaven and earth, an idea consistent with the Taoist belief of uniting natural energies. It is also known as the Sword Gesture and is used for casting spells, executing blessings, and sanctifying and empowering Taoist talismans.
