Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I've been told that you " point your thumbs to God " . For most, I assume, that means pointing them up - towards the sky. However, for me I know that God is within me, all throughme, and about me...so, personally, I point my thumbs toward myself.

In the " Meditation to experience the Essence of a Teacher " (I've found it in a page of 3HO site - http://www.3ho.org/clients/3ho/Yoga.nsf/WebBoardSub/6322F5C19ECEDD8A87256EE70076\ 2770?OpenDocument) there is this comment: " There is a very correct way to fold your hands at the heart center, wich will bring the proper effect. Place the two palms flat together, with the thumbs slightly extended away from the palms to for a " V " . The fingers need to be pointing straight up, at exactly 90 degrees[...] " I hope that can help you. Fateh Dharma!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Sat Nam, from my KY books it states that the hands should be at a 45 degree angle from the body. My teacher did not teach this to me..at least that I can remember. However, over the the years as a teacher I did find this information in one of the many books I have and this is what I teach my students.
