To perform this mudra, bring the tip of the thumb and index finger together on both hands, forming a circle. Keep the remaining three fingers outstretched with the palm facing upward.

The word Gyan stands for “knowledge,” while Mudra means a “symbolic gesture” or a “seal.” That is why it is also known as the “Mudra of knowledge.”
Gyan Mudra is used to direct energy and maintain focus.

Traditionally practiced whilst in seated
meditation, it promotes and maintains stability during meditation practices.
