Chin Mudra is a common Mudra many do when they practice meditation.

What is Chin Mudra?

According to Yoga gurus, the Chin Mudra is as follows:

The fingers in the Chin Mudra represent the self (index finger) rising above Maya (worldly concerns), Karma (spiritual concerns), and Ego (personal concerns) to meet the higher self (or God).


How to do Chin Mudra?

Touch the index finger and the thumb finger together in both hands as shown in the photo.
When you meditate do this Mudra, it will help you to focus on meditation. I do this Chin Mudra when I also do breathing exercises or Pranayama.

Benefits of Chin Mudra:

The benefits are as follows:

* Increases memory power and sharpens the brain

* Enhances concentration and prevents Insomnia

* If we practice it regularly, it will cure all psychological disorders like Mental, Hysteria, Anger and Depression

Sometimes when I have trouble sleeping during the night, I meditate silently and use this Mudra, it is very effective.

There is another version of Chin Mudra as shown below.

You can do either of the two methods, I use the first one.

Wow. Can I just breathe without the Chin Mudra? :) Btw, will it also prevent dementia? I see few old people who develop 'em, will something like this helps?

Thanks BeatsMe, Yes, you can breathe without the Chin Mudra, but it is not difficult to do. It boosts breathing and meditation, so try them together if possible. It may prevent dementia if one practices regularly every day, but is better to consult with a Yoga guru on this subject.

Will surely try this mudra. In fact, for quite sometime I am planning to start yoga. I wish I can do it soon.
