Cultural Traditions for a positive emotional development.....

Cultural traditions are so important to keep close at heart. Today my Romanian yoga student needs to take photographs with me to keep in her alum and to retain as a souvenir. I am leaving USA this 23rd and only three more classes left. So she asked me to take a traditional shirt of my country for her to wear for the photos. I felt so happy to share our tradition with her and appreciated her wish to know, learn and experience traditions. I took a kurta and a matching shawl for her. She put on sindoor and holy ash on her forehead. It suits her and looks pretty in the new attire. The photo shoot, casual and in yoga postures went well. She accepted the kurta as my gift. That is caring. Caring my idea and results in sharing of traditions.
   Traditions transmit shared values, stories and goals from generation to generations. Here traditions were shared from continent to continent. We shared the food from our countries and significance. Traditions facilitate groups of people to create and share a collective identity. For individuals to learn about different traditions help to develop a positive emotional attitude. Traditions bring people together and enables to reconnect with friends.
