  6. Spiritual Aspects: Spiritually, this movement creates a positive energy in the mind of the practitioner during the practice. All our lives depend on the work of our hands. They can either create good karmas, make lives or destroy the self. Whether working on the desktop, or cooking food or helping anyone, our hands are the first to show our intentions to help. Good karmas can be created through such yogic practices. According to the ancient hindu vedic science, when we wake up in the morning and rub our palms, look at them in our prayer, we seek for knowledge, prosperity and the creator's protection through the day. We ask for the day to be used in productivity through the works of our hands. Then the palms are kept on the face after the prayer, so that these good thoughts may shine through us throughout the day. “Om karagre vasate Lakshmi” is a powerful morning shloka/ mantra that is chanted as soon as one wakes up. Seeing the palms one chants this prayer. It says that God resides within our hands and when you wake up in the morning, the first thing you should do is to look at your hands. The work of our hands will be instructed and blessed by the supreme power, as you surrender to the Almighty.
