Mudras for Padmasana (Lotus Position)

Mudras stimulate the flow of energy in body and can have amazing effects when practiced with Padmasana. Every mudra differs from each other and so do their benefits. When sitting in Padmasana, you can deepen your meditation by incorporating either chin mudra, chinmayi mudra,Adi Mudra or Brahma Mudra. Breathe for a few minutes while in the mudra and observe the flow of energy in the body.
