I did some yoga with my hands today. Here's what I know about Shankh, or shell, Mudra:
"The Shell Mudra drives away every kind of problem in the throat. if you practice it regularly, especially if you sing "OM" as you do it, you can improve your voice. It also has a very calming effect and leads to collection in silence." - Gertrud Hirshi
This mudra resembles a conch shell - which is blown to signal the opening of ceremonies at many Hindu temples. So you can think of it as opening our own temple doors, letting out your inner light or voice.
To manifest this mudra wrap the four fingers of your right hand around your left thumb. The right thumb extends upward and gently presses into your left middle finger. Hold both hands in front of your sternum. You can practice this mudra as often and as long as you'd like. Or to treat a specific malady of the throat practice this 3 times daily for 15 minutes.
