Follow these steps to try Bhumispara Mudra :

• This mudra is practiced in lotus pose, with the right hand lowered over the right knee, fingertips pointing toward the ground and palm facing inwards.
• The left hand remains in the lap, with the palm open toward the sky.
• This suggests that Buddha had previously been in dhyana mudra, before moving his right hand to touch the earth.
