The mystic mark of the triangle and the heart chakra

I've started practicing some mudras many months ago and found a superb mudra called the mystic mark of the triangle in the Tripura Tapini Upanishad.

He who knows the mystic mark of the triangle attracts all; he knows all; enjoys all fruits; he breaks up all and immobilizes the foe. Keeping the middle fingers over the ring fingers, he (brings together) the little fingers and the thumbs, the forefingers being left free like rods pointing downward. Thus is the first mark made (the triangle).

The ninth master-wheel is replete with all delight and is associated with the triad such as Kameshwari. It is exceedingly mysterious, occupied by the great Tripura, the beautiful, and has the mystic mark of the triangle.

What I find interesting is that this mystic symbol opens my heart chakra. Those familiar with qi, prana or kundalini (the same latent and subtle force under different names) will, without doubts, perceive the same phenomenon so I highly suggest you to try it.

I'd really like to but I don't have the apparatus. Maybe another member can take a photo and show you?

With the left hand, palm up, join the distal phalange of the thumb with the distal phalange of the little finger and the distal phalange of the middle finger with the distal phalange of the ring finger (the distal phalange of the middle finger touching the nail side of the ring finger). The index finger is pointing downward. Do the same with the right hand.

Now please say that in English? Or put a photo up!

Please refer to the earlier posts. What are you not understanding?

Ok, I've worked out how to arrange the thumb and little fingers, how to, awkwardly, arrange the ring and middle fingers. The index pointing downwards. Is that correct? And you say this will open the heart chakra?

I'll try to post a photo soon so you'll be able to compare and yes, this mudra opens the heart chakra (among other things).

Here's the pictures:



Edit to add:

Remember to direct the forefingers downward (palms up) and perform this mudra while in the half or full lotus position.

And here's another one:

A prayer to Kameshwari

Salutations to the divine goddess, who is ancient and form of Brahma,
Salutations to Kameswari who is being worshipped by devas, Asuras and the world.

Even Brahma and other thirty three gods do not realize your power,
Shower your grace, oh mother of the world, salutations to Kameswari.

Oh divine knowledge without beginning and she who gives body to the persons,
You are the one saluted by the universe, salutations to Kameswari.

You are the root cause of all beings, you are brain, consciousness and joyous nature,
You are consciousness as well as sleep, salutations to Kameswari. 

After worshipping you, even Lord Shiva felt satisfied of doing his duty,
In quest of the soul as well as the divine soul, salutations to Kameswari.

You are one who destroys ones with bad conduct, granter of results of sin and bliss,
And also the one who puts an end to suffering of beings, salutations to Kameswari.

Alone you are the cause of creation, upkeep and destruction of all the world,
One with fearsome face, one who is black, salutations to Kameswari.

Oh mother, the absolver of pains of life who has a lotus like pleasing face,
Shower your grace of fully divine one, salutations to Kameswari.

To those devotees who depend on you, you provide full support,
Oh Goddess you are the world and its mother, salutations to Kameswari.

Oh goddess who is the pure divine knowledge who creates the entire nature,
You are the mother of entire universe, salutations to Kameswari.
