Bend the index fingers, forming a halo around the thumbs.

Keep the thumbs joined along their length while spreading the other fingers wide apart.

Relax the shoulders back and down, with the elbows held slightly away from the body and the spine naturally aligned. 

Take several natural breaths to attune to all the feelings and sensations evoked by this mudra.

Hold for 1 to 5 minutes, release when you feel love flowing though your being.
