Origins & Symbolism:
Dhyana means meditation. It’s the classic gesture seen in images of the Buddha—symbolizing the merging of thought into silence. The downward-facing triangle it creates represents harmony among body, mind, and spirit.
How to Position the Hands:Place your right hand over your left, palms facing upward, thumbs lightly touching to form a gentle oval. Rest hands in your lap, centered below the navel. Keep your spine upright yet effortless.
Benefits:
- Deepens meditation and breath awareness
- Stabilizes emotions and attention
- Encourages introspection and non-reactivity
- Activates the parasympathetic (rest and digest) state
When to Use It:During meditation, breathwork, or quiet reflection. Especially restorative after overstimulation, anxiety, or sensory fatigue.
Luxe Action:Close your eyes and feel stillness gather between your palms.
