The Spiritual and Scientific Reason for Doing Namaste

By MindStick

Namaste is a traditional greeting in India. It is a gesture that involves joining both hands in front of the chest and bowing slightly.

In spiritual terms, "Namaste" means "The divine in me bows to the divine in you." It acknowledges the divine essence within each person.

The act of joining hands symbolizes the union of mind, body, and soul.

From a scientific perspective, pressing the palms together activates acupressure points in the hands, which can stimulate the flow of energy.

In yoga, Namaste is often performed at the beginning and end of a session to honor the space, the teacher, and the practice itself.
