The hand steeple is performed by placing the fingertips of both hands together, spreading them, and then arching the hands so that the tips of the fingers look like a church steeple. This is a universal display of confidence and is often used by those in a leadership position. We see leaders like Trumph, Obama and Oprah using them often.

This Hand Gesture has been practiced by Indian monks since centuries as HAKINI MUDRA.

It is a yoga hand gesture named after goddess Hakini. Her immense power is an emblem of thunderbolt which has seat on the place between eyebrows i.e. third-eye chakra. Due to its direct relation with third-eye, practicing Hakini Mudra is considered best to uplift the brain power, hence known as mudra of mind & wisdom. This power of goddess Hakini is called Hakini Shakti.

Hakini Mudra for Brain

How hakini mudra impacts our brain can be understood using the involvement of fingers in this mudra. As hakini Mudra involves the attachment of the five fingers of both hands. These five fingers are the seat of the five elements:

Little finger – Water Element

Ring finger – Earth Element

Middle Finger – Ether or Space Element

Index Finger – Air Element

Thumb Finger – Fire Element On pressing all fingertips against each other, the brain centers get activated concerned with the subtle aspect of the physical and psychic body. 31
