Namaste, friends, and welcome.

I've been putting my palms together and bowing now for about, I think, about 45 years.

Ever since I first started teaching yoga.

And Namaste, it's derived from Sanskrit.

It's an expression of reverence.

And it's often translated that the light in me bows to light in you.

I love this.

I often think about how in the West, we have a handshake, and some say it came from showing

that we weren't carrying a weapon.

And then in the East, I see the divine in you.

I see the sacred in you.

It's a tad of a different flavor.

Now, as you know, there's a growing number of meditation cartoons.

And when I saw just a day or two ago, a woman's meditating, and she's got a really angry

expression.

And her thought bubble is saying, the light in me acknowledges the darkness in you.

Many, many ways are psychic and tweaked things I know.

Now, of course, the ritual of the Namaste greeting, which is done all over the East, it

can be done in a very, for functory, mechanical way.
