Namaste Interpretation
- I have always thought it to mean "the God in me recognizes and acknowledges the God in you. However, my teacher, Wendy Sue Wahl, adds the totality- Namaste Iammu- with Iammu meaning "yielding into Truth". This seems to allow the greeting to reach its highest height.

namaste
- I run an holistic keepfit class and the first thing we do is close our eyes and say namaste to ourselves to honour and recognize our own self worth. Then we say namaste to our internal organs individually. It's lovely now because members have also started to say namaste --------- whatever they feel I've missed out or they particularly want to thank and appreciate ..Namaste mind, etc.. We always back it up with something positive... Then we say a group namaste to let each other know we honour and accept each other as we are here and now. We drop the ego and we are equal. We honour each other. It's safe to be yourself and only do what you can. I believe this session of the class is powerful as honouring your self increases self confidence which helps with all aspects of life. Namaste!
