Bhumisparsha Mudra literally means "Touching The Earth". The practice is traditionally associated with grounding, stability, and developing firmness like the earth.
How to Perform Bhumisparsha Mudra

- Keep the left hand near the space between the thighs, with the palm facing upward and the hand relaxed.
- Place the right hand on the right knee, allowing the fingertips to touch the floor.
- Traditionally, the right hand is associated with releasing negativity, while the left hand represents receiving wisdom and energy from nature.
