As you know, I frequently end the blogging day with some beautiful photos, words, thoughts and I also frequently end the post with the word "namaste". I was asked yesterday by gappa why I did that since it is an Indian greeting with folded hands. I did know that, however, in several meditation classes that I have taken, along with my Tai Chi classes, that is how our instructors both began and ended our session. It somehow always invoked a sense of peace for me which was my reason for using it, but I will make a point of using it in the correct place from now on.
I know a lot of people use this word on their blogs and I guess its like many words it has a special meaning for those who use it. Has mediation worked for you? I have never done it, well not in a traditional way, and often wondered about taking a class.
ReplyDeleteI first heard namaste when I went online and have heard several explanations for what people mean by it. When I use it, which I do sometimes, my meaning for it is god in me recognizes god in you
