Namaste

Spiritual Greeting I send a lot of email in my day to day, be they personal or promotional for Explore Meditation. As a creative spirit I get bored easily when stuck in a pattern, so when it comes to the sign off I always try to be different.

All the best, Kindest regards, At your service, In Love and Light, Till then then…

But I was always intrigued by the one I was never game to use…

The Origins of Namaste

I have heard “Namaste” in my spiritual circles over the years but did not really know what it meant. I asked a few friends who had strong ideas – but their ideas were different.

But then I remembered that little internet thingy called Wikipedia.

And no wonder I was confused! It’s worth a look just for the laugh. But I digress.

Namaste: “The Divine In Me – Salutes – The Divine In You!”

A polite bow of greeting or farewell used by Hindus, made with the hands held at chest height and both palms pressed together.
But as it is an ancient Hindustani word – the translation is very open to interpretation.

I honor the Spirit in you which is also in me.
I salute the God within you.
Your spirit and my spirit are ONE.
That which is of God in me greets that which is of God in you.
The Divinity within me perceives and adores the Divinity within you.
All that is best and highest in me greets/salutes all that is best and highest in you.
I greet the God within.
I bow to you. The light within me honors the light within you.

And my favorite…

I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells, I honor the place in you which is of Love, of Integrity, of Wisdom and of Peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One.

How can one small word mean all that!

This following video is visually amazing and the words profound. Check it out to learn more of the Namaste definition.

I prefer unguided meditation. Mediation for me is at its best when engaged in without a goal. When we let go of the will and the ego that is beside it, we encounter a deeper self that will otherwise remain in the background.

As far as Namaste goes, if we decide up front then we will never truly meet each other. Let us never figure it out. That is my suggestion. Allow the unknown and you have allowed the truth of the moment for no-one knows what will happen next. This will bring forward great wonder and following it will be immense appreciation.

  Namaste to All!
  Namaste! Namaste is not any form of meditation but a powerful means of greeting each others! It is not just “Hello” or “Hi” but the whole expression of ones body,mind & soul where our Head, Heart and Hands respond simultaneously. It is also a perfect coordination of Eye -Hand movements, respecting human beings.
  With lots of prayers and good wishes with my folded hands – Namaste!

There are a lot of meditation techniques – and so we should all do what feels good. That is the most important thing. I would really recommend some soothing sound, like binaural beats or isochronic beats. Check my blog for more info about that, if you are interester; iamcosmos.blogspot.com — take care!

Namaste is a powerful and complicated, but simple word. Thanks for all the deifinitions. Sometimes it’s as simple as “I see you.” I’ve enjoyed reading your posts. I just wrote a post on my blog called “Getting Unstuck.” It’s about releasing old thought patterns; I’d love your feedback. Blessings, Sherry
