When you arrive in India, the first gesture that people make is Namaste. Is it the end of every yoga session with Namaste that you see? It’s either a sweet gesture or a sign that we are welcoming our guests or inviting them to join us. You are meeting people for first time, whether it is in your home, on the land, or elsewhere. Yoga is not just about greeting people, but also when you invite guests. This gesture represents the divine spark within each of us. Namaste, or Namaskar literally means acknowledgment from one soul for another.
How do you accomplish this gesture? Are you able to do this in a few steps?
Yes, it is! You don’t have to be difficult and anyone can do the Namaste gesture. Namaskar (or Namaste) is performed by placing your hands at your heart ( Heart Chakra), and then closing your eyes. Finally, bow your head.
You can also do this gesture by putting your hands together in front your third eye. Then, bow down your head and let your hands drop to your heart.
Why would anyone bow down to anyone?
It’s a great question! It’s the most profound form of showing respect! As the Indians say, we love our guests and anyone who helps us. This gesture shows that you care about the values, morals, and how grateful we are.
Why do we do Namaste?
This gesture will work all over your body, mind, and soul. Your heart chakra or the hands held close to your heart will increase divine love’s flow. This gesture helps to open the mind to the divine within. The Namaste technique can be used to help you meditate deeper inside your heart chakra. It also affects how you exchange or do the Namaste with others.
Two people can greet each other or make a Namaste gesture. This helps to bring the energy together and increases the freedom from anger, ego, and hate.
