Maybe you heard this word
"Namaste ji" from so many Indian or other country's yoga teachers,
but do you know the meaning of this word ? The meaning is so deep
from the heart, and here i m trying to explain it, hope you can
read and enjoy my
reading....
或许你曾经从很多印度或其他国家的瑜伽老师那边听到过"Namaste ji"这个词，但你是否明白这个词的含义呢？它有着一个生发于内心的深层寓意，现在我来尝试解释一下，希望你们能够读到并且喜欢这篇文章。
The gesture Namaste represents the belief that there is a Divine
spark within each of us that is located in the heart chakra. The
gesture is an acknowledgment of the soul in one by the soul in
another. "Nama" means bow, "as" means I, and "te" means you, "Ji"
uses for respect or give regards in India. Therefore, Namaste
literally means "I bow to you with
respect."
Namaste 这个手势是一种如神的火种般的信仰深植于我们的心轮。它表达了一个心灵修持者对另一个心灵修持者的感激之情。"Nama"的意思是鞠躬，"as"是“我”，"te"是“你”，"Ji"在印度是表示尊重或表达敬意。因此，照字面意思来看，Namaste就是“我鞠躬向你致敬。”
To perform Namaste, we place the hands together at the heart
charka, close the eyes, and bow the head. It can also be done by
placing the hands together in front of the third eye, bowing the
head, and then bringing the hands down to the heart. This is an
especially deep form of respect. Although in the West the word
"Namaste" is usually spoken in conjunction with the gesture, in
India, it is understood that the gesture itself signifies Namaste,
and therefore, it is unnecessary to say the word while
bowing.
在示意Namaste的时候，我们将双手合十在心轮，闭上双眼，低头鞠躬。另外一种示意方式是将双手合十置于三眼前方，低头鞠躬，而后将双手移至心轮处。这是一种表示尤为尊重的示意方式。尽管在西方国家，人们在做
"Namaste" 手势时通常都会将"Namaste"念出来，但在印度，人们都理解 "Namaste"
手势所表达的含义，因此，在鞠躬示意时无需将这个单词念出声来。
We bring the hands together at the heart chakra(Energy Centers) to
increase the flow of Divine love and Energy. Bowing the head and
closing the eyes helps the mind surrender to the Divine in the
heart. 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.
我们将双手合十在心轮（能量中心）以加强神圣的爱和能量的流动。低头鞠躬以及闭合双眼有助于收敛意识，集中在内心深处。对于瑜伽老师和学生来说，Namaste让两颗相互独立的心灵强而有力并永恒持续地联系在一起，从而使我们从自负的枷锁中解脱出来。如果我们听凭自己的内心，用心地去感受，就能体会到心灵相通的美妙瞬间。
Ideally, Namaste should be done both at the beginning and at the
end of class. Usually, it is done at the end of class because the
mind is less active and the energy in the room is more peaceful.
The teacher initiates Namaste as a symbol of gratitude and respect
toward his/her students and his/her own teachers and in return
invites the students to connect with their lineage, thereby
allowing the truth to flow-the truth that we are all one when we
live from the heart.
理论上来说，在瑜伽课前和课后都需要示意Namaste。但通常，我们都在课后来相互示意，因为课程完成时，大家的意识相对平稳，课堂内充满着平静祥和的气场。老师引领Namaste，向他/她的学生们以及他/她自己的老师表示感激并示意他/她的学生们能够从内心深处将“当我们生活在这个世界上，我们就永远在一起”这个真理传承下去
So
Namaste have very deep meaning and also have great
benefits.
所以，Namaste有着极深厚的含义并且我们将从中受益非常。
