Namaste' ( Archived) (12)

The gesture Namaste represents the belief that there is a Divine spark within each of us that is located in the heart chakra. The gesture is an acknowledgment of the soul in one by the soul in another. "Nama" means bow, "as" means I, and "te" means you. Therefore, Namaste literally means "bow me you" or "I bow to you."

To perform Namaste, we place the hands together at the heart charka, close the eyes, and bow the head. It can also be done by placing the hands together in front of the third eye, bowing the head, and then bringing the hands down to the heart. This is an especially deep form of respect. Although in the West the word "Namaste" is usually spoken in conjunction with the gesture, in India, it is understood that the gesture itself signifies Namaste, and therefore, it is unnecessary to say the word while bowing.

We bring the hands together at the heart chakra to increase the flow of Divine love. Bowing the head and closing the eyes helps the mind surrender to the Divine in the heart. One can do Namaste to oneself as a meditation technique to go deeper inside the heart chakra; when done with someone else, it is also a beautiful, albeit quick, meditation.

I was at the international airport with my grand daughter long waiting for the next
flight connection. Tired and worn out we both were. A young woman, a stranger,
flying with her mother had a coloring book and crayons, coloring to kill time, I made
an assumption. She looked over our way, smiled sweetly. We all boarded the
airplane and met our destination in the same city. When we waited for our luggage
the young lady came up to my seven year old grand daughter and gave her a
crayon colored picture of a beautiful angel. We took great care getting the picture
home and I framed it. It was a picture that represented:

...a 'knowing' ... love from
"my spirit to your spirit.

What a beautiful story, Dusty. Thank you so much for sharing that...and about your granddaughter.

Namaste.

I bow to your buddha nature

I have a 3yo granddaughter that has dysplasia (not sure of the spelling) it is a form of dwarfism. DNA testing was done and there is no trace of it in the family, doctors say it is one of those 1 in a million things.

She does not know she if different from what we call normal.

Little kids are OK and then they are fed unsolicited information from others (adults) that makes them think they are screwed up.

I am glad I reverted to being a kid..

I am not messed up, the rest of the world is..

Sometimes I forget and get lost in this world of perception.

When I can see your pure spirit that you truly are
then I can see the beauty, truth and knowing of reality.

That touches my heart.

And to you, also.
