Shambavi mudra


Glance directed upward between the eyebrows


Assume seated meditation posture and form the Chin or Jnana Mudra with the hands.

Direct your gaze inward and upward, as if you wanted to look at the center of your forehead.

Calm your thoughts; don't think of anything; or just observe your breathing.

End the mudra as soon as your eyes get tired.
