THE SYMBOLISM OF THE BODY, HAT OR HEADRESS, AND CLOTHES

When does a hand gesture mean something spiritual and when is it just a mundane signal with no spiritual meaning at all? Hand gestures in portraits, statues, paintings and other works of art, have been one of the most effective ways of conveying secrets, codes and messages. The water is further muddied once one realises that "Mudra" is a Sanskrit term that means "gesture" or "attitude" and they too have been reused and adapted to send messages. Portraits have been painted of wealthy people indicating, or implying, they had been schooled in eastern methods - whether they had or hadn't. The sign became a status symbol. But many well used mundane signs were derived from mudras, so this is not a straightforward subject. Mudras have a genuine purpose when combined with the breathing techniques used in yoga. And since various points on the hand are believed to be acupressure points, it should be clear that we should use these signs with care. In this video we explore this area, including both lesser and well known symbols - such as Namaste, the Anjali Mudra and Prayer. =========================== CREDITS BACKGROUND AND ADDITIONAL REFERENCES A list of ordinary gestures with their mundane meanings is provided by Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gestures Yogapedia has information on the mudras that can be accessed using this link. It indicates that there are around 400 known mudras https://www.yogapedia.com/dictionary/tags/mudra PAINTINGS AND PRINTS Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer – Le Silence Jean-Léon Gérôme - Pollice Verso (1872), Frans Hals – Head of a boy with his finger pointing up Vitarka mudra by 'monica' Angelo Bronzino – portraits Christopher columbus - Sebastiano del piombo 1519 VIDEO/AUDIO EFFECTS AND FOOTAGE Women ok hand gesture - New Free Stock Footage https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=wQE5Zc2MKso NO SAYING https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=UA1k0h7lpck Happy Smiling Young Indian Man Thumbs Up https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=MOXVp8rQYZc Video Background Stock Footage Free https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=dG8sdPtNaWU OK hand gesture - New Free Stock Footage https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=2qv9sI8o9zM Young Women OK Gesture https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=HwcVoLm9_Q8 Women Ok Gesture - New Free Stock Footage https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=usqYC5qPfDI namaste sunset free stock footage https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=IDzpb88U4T0 How to say 'I love you' using sign language https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=nhzktuzXTFI How to Sign I Love You - Sign Language - ASL https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=jzJjdvTF10A Monday Mudras ✨ Warding off negative energy, removing blockages and lifting mood ✨ https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=xVgMMOUWTFU Close up of hand mudra https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=gQK2WjgPML0 Chin Mudra https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=OHfTOQSDGLk Mudras for meditation https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=T1YfrcwVg-s Caballero de la mano en el pecho https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=8zItuXKHCkQ FEARLESS MUDRA- ABHAYA MUDRA https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=fp5r22RWOus Mudra Moments - Prana Mudra https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=MAVOmRyhY8M The Aaronic Blessing https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=o2KwoddC2s4 Guided Meditation: Anahata Chakra Healing - Love, Compassion, Forgiveness https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=A8VwGyhcOKU Suchi Mudra https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=8m2bNPrfJ90 Neon Light Sound Effect - Stutter, Turn On and Turn Off https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=UzU6vzQSvMg Touch Fingers Hands Touching Arms Silver Abstract No Copyright Video https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=HwlMJMxZ9NE MUSIC 00:00 Space Chatter - Doug Maxwell_Media Right Productions 00:51 Watercolor Lilies - Aaron Kenny 03:30 Fresh Fallen Snow - Chris Haugen 06:33 Vespers on the Shore - Mini Vandals 08:20 A Quiet Thought - Wayne Jones 09:51 Yoga Style - Chris Haugen 12:24 Nidra in the Sky with Ayler - Jesse Gallagher 14:43 Thunder Chant - E's Jammy Jams 15:28 Calcutta Sunset - E's Jammy Jams 17:39 Space Chatter - Doug Maxwell_Media Right Productions

The Last stage of the spiritual path is ego death – the annihilation of the ego. But this requires the ego to ‘die’ voluntarily - so how does it do this? And more important why should it do this? Voluntary ego death is usually only possible for a reason and the best reason is a 'loved one' capable of being visualised - but incapable of being ‘experienced’ physically - something that can be , or someone [living or dead] who can be, the focus of this love – total and absolute devotion - worship in essence. And when we raise a female to this status, one of the key symbols used in their portrayal, is that they have Red Lips. ======================= CREDITS Tim Walker Dante Gabriel Rossetti John-Everett-Millais VIDEO EFFECTS AND FOOTAGE [100% Royalty Free] Pretty Women With Red Lips | Red Lips Beauty Copyright free video Footaze https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=o2YyDCbTVoA Sexy Brunette With Seductive Red Lips - Free Movies In HD For Youtube Videos No Copyright Stock Videos Free https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=i5ekv3nDe6c Portrait Of Happy Lady With Red Lips - Free Movies In HD For Youtube Videos No Copyright Stock Videos Free https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=k2oiy5BXkYI That red lipstick that turns heads!
