Bowing is one of the most humble and spiritual acts a human can perform. Through bowing, we accept, understand and feel our Soul. Moreover, through this action, we cast aside the narrow confines of the self and accept the energy of the universe. It is a “sincerity meditation,” which we awaken to the nature of sincerity in the process of bowing. We are connected to the energy of Heaven when we spread our arms. We are connected with the energy of Earth when we bend at the waist and lay our upper bodies of the floor.
