Hakini Mudra

All ten fingertips touching, the two hands forming a dome or cage shape, palms staying apart rather than pressed together. It's widely associated with concentration and mental clarity, and it's distinct enough from the other mudras in this family to be worth its own clear teaching.

“Let only the fingertips touch, palms staying apart.”

Cue: “Fingertips of both hands touch, palms apart, held in front of the chest or forehead”

Only the fingertips touch here, and the palms staying separated is what distinguishes this from a simple prayer position. That gap between the palms is part of the shape's actual structure, not an incidental detail.

To touch all ten fingertips together, palms apart, supporting concentration and mental focus.
