The finger position of this Mudra provokes the nourishing energy in the pelvic floor. Pran Mudra is practiced with both the hands. The tips of the thumbs, ring fingers and little fingers are placed together and the other fingers remained extended. This Mudra is performed either five to thirty minutes per day or three times a day as a course of treatment. Pran Mudra can be practiced thrice a day for duration of 15 minutes or for around 30 minutes in a day.

While performing Pran Mudra, the thumb can also be put onto the fingernails of the other two fingers, instead of on their tips. This leads to the left and the right brain hemispheres function effectively and leaves them active.
