Sit in sukhasana or the easy pose. Now place your hands on your thighs such that your palms are facing towards the ceiling. Ensure that you are keeping your spine erect.
Now bend your index finger such that it touches the tip of your thumb. Do not exert any pressure and make sure that your index finger is only slightly touching your thumb. Make sure the other three fingers of your hand remain extended. Do this with both your hands.
Keep breathing deeply and observe the flow of your breath.
Hold this position for 2-3 minutes and relax in sukhasana.
