Dharmachakra Mudra is another prominent mudra among others. This Mudra is of turning the wheel of the Dharma or teaching. In Hindu mythology, the Dharmachakra or the wheel embodies completion or the wheel of life that guides us through a diversity of experiences. However, there are two wheels and this indicates the teaching of reincarnation. The hands form two wheels. The left middle finger (Saturn) represents the transition from this world into the next that is from death and birth. The left hand, which points to the heart, symbolizes the inner world of the body. The right hand indicates surrounding world. The inside and outside must be in harmony with each other. This Dharmachakra Mudra also is used for eternal change.
In order to practise Dharmachakra Mudra, one will have to raise both hands in front of one`s chest with right hand a little higher than the left. Join the thumbs and index fingers of each hand. The palm of the left hand faces the heart, and the back of the right hand faces the body. The left middle finger touches the place where the thumb and index finger of the right hand form a closed circle. While forming it, breathing should be very deep, slow, and fine. A focus should be on how the three fingertips are touching each other. It is possible for a person to notice a change in one`s mood after performing this Dharmachakra Mudra.
