Aakash Mudra
Aakash mudra is a symbolic, ritualistic gesture of the hands often used in Ayurveda and spiritual yoga practice to increase the element of space, or the cosmos, within the body. The name comes from the Sanskrit words aakash (or akash), meaning "view" or "recognize," and mudra, which means "gesture," "mark" or "seal."
In this mudra, the tips of the middle fingers are pressed to the tips of the thumbs on each hand, and the other fingers are held straight.
