Origins & Symbolism:
Anjali translates to offering or salutation. It’s the universal gesture of prayer and reverence, reminding us that humility and gratitude open the heart. When the palms meet, the left and right sides of the body—and logic and emotion—find balance.
How to Position the Hands:Bring your palms together at the heart center, fingers pointing upward, thumbs gently pressing against the sternum. Slightly bow the head to connect mind and heart.
Benefits:
- Activates feelings of gratitude and empathy
- Balances both brain hemispheres
- Grounds the emotional body and lowers heart rate
- Cultivates emotional connection and peace
When to Use It:
Begin or end meditation, meetings, or any important moment of connection. Ideal when you need to return to compassion or humility.
Luxe Action:
Hold for three breaths and silently name one thing you’re grateful for.
