The Hakini Mudra, which means “power gesture” in Sanskrit, is just that—a powerful seal or lock of the fingers that evokes the strength and fortitude of the mind. When practiced, the Hakini Mudra is great for brain power. It is said to summon energy from the Third Eye, the spiritual space between the eyebrows that is seen as the gate to enlightenment. In this post, we’ll walk you through how to do this mudra as well as some benefits it may have throughout your daily life.

Performing The Hakini Mudra

• Start in a comfortable seated position such as Sukhasana or Vajrasana, drawing the hands in front of the body with the palms facing each other
• Lightly touch each fingertip together with its opposite-hand counterpart
• With closed eyes, sit still and hold the mudra, directing focus to the Third Eye chakra
• Let breath flow smoothly and continuously, matching the length of the inhale with the length of the exhale
• Imprint the tongue on the roof of the mouth as you breathe in and release it as you breathe out
• Repeat this breath work and maintain focus for several minutes to experience the illuminating effects of the Hakini Mudra

Discover Deep Mind

Practicing the Hakini Mudra is said to activate and unite a wide range of brain and mind functions. Here are just a few of the ways it can uncover the depths of your healthiest, happiest, and soundest mind:

Boost In Memory

By increasing concentration, the mudra helps the brain access stored information and memories, bringing them to the forefront of the mind.

Sit with the mudra, and all may be remembered.
