Sat Nam,

 

In a meditation with gyanmudra, if not specified, is it ACTIVE or PASSIVE gyan

mudra?

 

Thanks for your answers.

Sat Nam!

 

What I've often read in many books is that " active " gyan mudra (when you

bend index finger under the thumb) is used.... " in the pratice of powerful

pranayams or exercises " .

That would make sense with what I've been taught, which is that ACTIVE

is for grounding, while PASSIVE is a more " inspirational " mudra.

 

PASSIVE is also a great way to get Nervous System feedback

during/before/after meditation... You touch your two fingers together

as lightly as possible - barely touching. And if you cannot keep it

still or are shaky, you need to do some more calming meditations (i.e.

left nostril breathing), and if it feels kinda of dull and you cannot

feel any sensations or sensitivity, then do some energizing exercises

(i.e. right nostril breathing).

 

Voila! Instant feedback mechanism.

 

And by the way, if you if can feel each individual molecule passing

back and forth between your fingers while in perfect, statuesque

stillness, then you should probably keep doing whatever it is you are

doing!!
