About the “Gyan” mudra:
Among the most familiar mudra in mainstream society, the intention of Gyan mudra is to improve your concentration and sharpen your memory. This is a great mudra to use when seeking to gain insightful knowledge. Practitioners try holding this mudra while meditating for insight into ones life or a specific issue. It is performed by touching your index fingertip to the tip of your thumb, while holding your other three fingers straight.
