What is the Hakini Mudra

It is said that this mudra, which is named after the God Hakini, helps boost thinking and concentration. It is believed that this gesture is linked to the Third-Eye Chakra, where your imagination and intuition are located.

Steps

The Hakini Mudra can be easily practiced anytime and anywhere, by just about anyone, as it is quite easy. Given below are the steps of Hakini mudra -
