Request for an experiment and findings

[Guest guest]

Dear YDM,

I too get my students to feel the differing effects of Chin and Jnana Mudra, but also to then draw the hands to the centre line of the body, resting them in the lap. Different again.

I request that all the participants in this e-group conduct an experiment on themselves and I would like to get your sincere feedback on a particular practice.

 

the practice is simple

 

while sitting in any meditative posture, whether on the floor in your chosen meditation posture or on a chair. Practice breathing using the 'Chin Mudra' that is with the thumb and index finger each hand touching and resting down on the thighs or knees. be aware of how this gesture affects your body and mind.

 

Then switch the hand position keeping the same mudra just simply turn the palms to face upwards, in Jnana mudra and hold that for a minute or so and be aware of the effects on the body and mind.

 

please repeat the exercise several times.

 

I would like feedback on this experience, the difference to both position. How it affects your state of your thoughts.

Thank you Kamini,

 

and anyone esle in the group

 

If you would not mind please collect some experiences from the students and friends. from people who do not know anything about yoga as well. The non-practicing group will be great imput.

 

I don't want to suggest what I am looking for becuase I did not want to force and outcome. I will discuss the second phase afterwards and then after the thirds phase.
