The word dharma chakra refers to the turning of the wheels of teachings , the Buddha and how they are carried into the world. Both hands are used in this mudra. The right index finger touches the right thumb and the left index finger touches the left thumb so that two circles (wheels!) are created. Left palm is facing inward in front of the right palm which is facing outward. This mudra is typically held in front of the heart.
The Buddha is said to have used this mudra when he first taught after his enlightenment. A wheel rotates, and so represents movement and transition. Similarly, the placement of the dharma chakra mudra in your home can inspire movement and flow.
