Mudras are basically signs with the hands and fingers and particularly finger tips, which are the centers of nerve endings. They enhance the interaction between the psychic, subtle and physical aspects of the body.

The mudras channel the subtle pranic energies to particular subtle centers, or chakras.

It is also worth noting that a mudra is done with the fleshy part of the finger, not the fingernail, unless specified. Some of the most common mudras are Gyan Mudra (forefinger and thumb touch, for wisdom), Shuni Mudra (middle finger and thumb touch, for patience), Ravi Mudra (ring finger and thumb touch, for energy), Buddhi Mudra (pinkie and thumb touch, for intuition), and Prayer Pose (Pranam Mudra, palms together at chest, for centering).
