Suchi Mudra

Suchi mudra is a yogic hasta ("hand") gesture and one of a series of therapeutic mudras believed to have healing properties. The term is derived from the Sanskrit suchi, meaning “needle,” and mudra, meaning “gesture” or “seal." It represents the Supreme Soul, or creator god, Brahma.

To perform this mudra, the thumb forms a fist with the middle, ring and little fingers, and the forefinger extends upward similar to a "Number One" gesture.
