Bhoochari Mudra (gazing into nothingness)
Sit in any comfortable meditation asana with the head and spine straight and the left hand in chin or jnana mudra. Close the eyes and relax the whole body. Open the eyes and raise the right hand in front of the face. The elbow should point to the side of the body. Hold the hand horizontally, palm down with all the fingers together. The side of the thumb should be in contact with the top of the upper lip. Focus the eyes on the tip of the little finger and gaze at it intently for a minute or so without blinking or flickering the eyes. Try to maintain continuous awareness of the fingertip. After a minute or so remove the hand but continue to gaze into nothingness at the place where the little finger was in front of the face. Try not to blink.
