At a glance
Palms pressed together at the heart center, the most widely used mudra in this entire practice, opening and closing countless sequences and appearing constantly within a single session. Its familiarity can make it easy to perform without much attention, which is worth naming directly rather than assuming its simplicity means nothing to teach.
“Let the press be even, not gripped.”
Essence
The evenness of the press between the two palms is the actual detail worth attention here, more than the position looking correct. A grip that's harder on one side than the other, or held with tension through the wrists and fingers, misses the settled, symmetrical quality this mudra is meant to offer.
Intention
To bring the hands together evenly at the heart center, symbolizing unity and offering a physical anchor for presence at transitional moments in a practice.
