The Gesture of Prayer {refuge pt-6}

.






Why do we form our hands into the
prayer {AKA “Anjali” in Sanskrit} gesture {“Mudra” in Sanskrit} and
place them before our sternum {breast bone} while
reciting the prayer of Refuge and Bodhichitta?


Do we do it as a symbol of supplication to
somehow communicate the pseudo-spiritual idea that
we are, some how, unworthy?
Nope, NOT so much!

We’re not Worthy!



We do it because it helps our subtle energies to
coalesce into our body’s central channel.
This could then increase our:
• peace,
• joy,
• clarity,
• bliss and
• resourcefulness… yum!
