Sit up straight and put your hands in front of you in a meditation mudra: palms up, left hand on the bottom, right hand on the top with the two thumbs touching.

“In Buddhist statues, the arms and hands are the parts that break off the easiest, and certain positions of the hands and fingers, the mudra, promote healing and compassion.”

She explained a simple mudra, or hand gesture, resting one palm in the other to balance our yin and yang energy.

The actual motion that accompanies the word namaste is called anjali mudra.

The sly gesture, ring finger brought to meet the thumb, hovers somewhere between a Sanskrit mudra — a ritualized hand-sign with esoteric meanings — and an Orthodox Christogram familiar from medieval European depictions of Jesus.
