Shunya Mudra (शून्य मुद्रा)

Meaning and Definition:

Shunya Mudra is the hand gesture that symbolizes the element of "Space" or "Void" (Shunya). It is used to help alleviate issues related to the ear and hearing and to balance the space element in the body. Shunya means "empty" or "nothingness," and this mudra is used to create a sense of openness and clarity by reducing blockages or distractions in the mind and body.

Steps:

• Sit in a comfortable position, such as Sukhasana (easy pose) or Padmasana (lotus pose), with your back straight and relaxed.
• Place your hands on your knees, palms facing upward.
• Fold your middle finger so that its tip touches the base of your thumb.
• Keep the other fingers (index, ring, and little) straight or gently curled.
• Hold this mudra for 15–45 minutes. You can practice this mudra multiple times a day if needed.
