Namaste
I have a corner in my guest bedroom that is my sacred space for prayer and meditation. Having this special space helps me to more easily move into a prayerful mindset.
Hanging on my wall is a small banner that I bought when we had the Unity store here. It says:
Namaste
I honor the place in you in which the entire universe dwells.
I honor the place in you which is of love, light, peace and joy.
When you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, We Are One.
I read this everyday but something made me stop and really pay attention to this Namaste prayer. It’s really powerful...”When you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me... We are One.”
What does Namaste really does it mean?
At its core, Namaste recognizes the presence of the divine within each of us. It’s a profound acknowledgment of the inner light or the soul that resides in all living beings. When you greet someone with Namaste, you are essentially saying, “I honor the divine essence within you.” This act of recognition fosters a sense of interconnectedness and unity.
The act of bringing one’s hands together at the heart center and bowing the head slightly during Namaste is not just a physical gesture; it’s a spiritual one. It signifies the unification of the physical and spiritual self, aligning the mind, body, and soul.
Namaste encourages us to be present in the moment. When you greet someone with Namaste, it’s a moment of connection and mindfulness. You are fully engaged in the act of greeting, leaving behind distractions and stress. This practice can be a doorway to greater mindfulness and being present in daily life. We recognize this truth for each other and everyone everywhere. With this awareness we allow ourselves to feel the connection with each other, our community, our city, the world.
Namaste
