About Namaste
Namaste represents the belief that there is a Divine spark or light within each of us that is located in the heart chakra. It is the acknowledgment of the soul in one by the soul in another. It literally means “I bow to you.” I honor you.
For a teacher and student, Namaste allows two individuals to come together energetically to a place of connection and timelessness, free from the bonds of ego-connection. If it is done with deep feeling in the heart and with the mind surrendered, a deep union of spirits can blossom. For this reason it is generally used in Yoga Classes – but is the perfect offering in this section.
“I honor the Spirit in you which is also in me.”

“That which is of God in me greets that which is of God in you.” [2]
