Shankha mudra (Conch gesture)

Hold your hands in front at the chest. Grasp your left thumb with your right hand, wrapping your fingers around it firmly. Now place the rest of your left hand fingers so they meet the right thumb. Together both hands look like a conch. Hold this hand formation at chest level, eyes shut for as long as comfortable.

Precaution: Same as previous mudra.

Benefits: Reduces inflammation of body; relieves a high-anxiety state. Is intensely calming. Works on the throat chakra and hence is good for those in the communication field.
