What's this acupressure(?) mudra for?

Recommended Posts

What effect does it have (I guess in the sense of acupressure) to press the tip of the middle finger against the inner side of the thumb at fingernail height? (And if it is relevant: left hand)

PC 9 is at the tip of the middle finger. LU 11 is on the opposite side of the thumb. Though mudras aren't really tit for tat related to acupressure directly. There is some relationship in some of them, but much more distinction.

Mudra are not about pressure points, it is about how the lineage or system sealed the mudra (hand sign) into the system for a special usage, usually comes with a spell (mantra) and a symbol (fu) and sometimes even a special unique practise to activate the mudra for it to take real effect.
