Fold your ring finger and place its tip at the base of your thumb. Then, place your thumb over the folded ring finger as illustrated in the image and apply gentle, steady pressure. Keep the remaining three fingers extended straight.

Science and Astrological Principle

According to the principles of palmistry (Samudrika Shastra), the ring finger represents the position of the Sun (the Sun Mount). Therefore, when this ring finger is pressed down by the thumb, the thermal energy (heat) associated with the Sun element is naturally generated within the body system.
