We often forget the FULL depth of saying Namaste'. The simplest explanation of this greeting is "I bow to you" , and it is often extrapolated out into "The Light within me salutes the Light within you." It is a gesture of respect for the person standing in front of you as you recognize how special they, and all beings are!!!
But don't forget the person standing in front of the person standing in front of you. YOU. That same wonderful Light!!! Your Light was there before you had the career which may have come to define you. That Light was there before your significant other and/or your good friends who may have come to define you. That Light was there before all your possessions that may have come to define you. That Light was there before you came into this world and a name may have come to define you. And that Light will be there after you leave this world and all those things no longer define you. That Light is the Essence of You!!!
Practice being thankful for YOU!!! I am thankful for all of YOU!!! YOU are that Light!!!
Namaste'
Kate
