Looks like this maybe, Kundalini Chakra Meditation Yoga, if you raise your arms up and press thumbs into forehead.


Not that I know anything about it. I just looked through hundreds of pictures until I found this one.

No. As I figure out which fingers are which, that doesn't seem right at all. Sorry, false positive.

Well, this configuration won't do me any good, I worked decades in construction and did quite a bit of metalworking and automotive work.  I can't even get my hands to make that configuration, I cannot get my fingers to fit together like that and fold down.  I have not been able to do that for  decades.  Ripped a tendon off of my left ring finger tip one time, I went to my doctor and she said it couldn't be serious because I didn't come in right away.  Two weeks later I went to a specialist I called on my own, he said if I would have been there within a month he could have fixed it, should have went there instead of to my doctor and he could have sewed it back on.  But oh well, so the tip of the finger doesn't bend right, that was forty years ago, I lived with it.  But the nail does not grow right on that finger ever since for some strange reason.  Oh well, that's the way things go...sucks having lots of muscle back then and a belief that if you can lift it, it is going to be ok.

Tried to do that hand form but couldn't.  Being seventy years old sure doesn't help much either, but I can still shovel tons of snow and cut firewood and split it.  Just have to watch how I toss heavy things, I keep damaging my shoulders and upper muscles in my arms.  Last years fall throwing sand on the icy drive screwed up my whole summer projects I was going to do.  I used to fall all the time working, all I used to screw up was my back and neck.  Now other parts take a real long time to heal....but knock on wood, six months after my fall happened I got most of my movement and muscle use back.  Cracking the cartilage holding my ribs to my backbone that time caused a lot of pain, usually I just crack one, this time I guess I cracked three that effected my shoulder blade working correctly...but it is better now, just got some big cartilage bumps on the spine from the healing process according to the specialist I went to four months after it happened.  He gave me some things to do to help fix the remaining issues with things.  Still itchy in one spot yet on the shoulder blade, but it is getting better, at least my whole back isn't itchy anymore from the healing process.

I don't go to the doctor when I get hurt right away, did that when I was young, and paid attention to what the doctors and specialists said and did.  The doctors just want to give out pain meds that make me constipated.  I had some good doctors over the years that explained things...time will heal but when I was working all the time, I did need more help, now being retired, I have the time to do what they told me and to keep activities of effected areas to low moderation.  I don't run to the doctor every time something happens, I spent time listening to them and asked a lot of questions so I could fix things by myself.  Although I did need the shot in the sciatic nerve area of the backbone one time, That helped lessen the uneven muscle tension so it could heal correctly.

It sucks that it takes so much longer for things to heal when you get older.

I hope that hand formation isn't crucial for getting into heaven...oh wait, there are only a hundred forty four thousand being accepted there, so I am not worried about going there, the spots probably were all filled centuries ago.

And here i thought this would be a geology thread. I truly thought you had a core sample to share and you needed help identifying mud...  :(

But mudras are cool too.  And it is all tantric sanskrit stuff, so I am gonna guess, "Something about Shiva of Kali" if the metal band Avatar is using it. And it would be really funny if Avatar used a mudra for one of Brahman's avatars.

So something about the ultimate reality...

As far as Avatar the band goes.

I liked the song The Eagle Has Landed.  And I like their musical choreography in their videos.
