Naked Spirituality

Product Information

The philosophical basis of nudity arises out of the concept of 'Purushartha' (four ends of human life). 'Purushartha' ( Puruṣārtha) are 'Kama' (enjoyment), 'Artha' (wealth), ‘Dharma’ (virtue) and 'Moksha' (liberation). It is ‘Purushartha’ which impels a human being towards nudity or any of its related aspect(s) either for spiritual aim or for the aim of enjoyment. Practice of ‘Dharma’ (virtue) brings good result(s) and non-practice of 'Dharma' leads to negative result(s). [42] Spiritual basis [ edit ] In Judaism, nudity is an aspect of body modesty which is regarded as very important in most social and familial situations. Attitudes to modesty vary between the different movements within Judaism as well as between communities within each movement. In more strict (orthodox) communities, modesty is an aspect of Tzniut which generally has detailed rules of what is appropriate behaviour. Conservative and Reform Judaism generally promote modesty values but do not regard the strict Tzniut rules as binding, with each person being permitted (at least in principle) to set their own standards. With the exception of the Haredi community, Jewish communities generally tend to dress according to the standards of the society in which they find themselves.

But when we wear clothes, we can easily manipulate our image until we decide we are happy with it. However, that doesn’t change how we honestly feel about ourselves. It only ensures others see us how we want to be perceived. The many layers of covering up, our makeup, clothes, attitudes, and identities all serve to validate ideas, much less to celebrate our real selves.In some cases, having vivid or highly intense dreams is a result of major trauma, with some studies showing increases in these types of dreams post-9/11.

Because we want you to be free. But not just for the sake of liberation. We know that your creative potential grows exponentially when you tap into your true self. The energy that is freed when you no longer need to protect yourself from something that does not exist (aka Mr. F.E.A.R. – False Evidence Appearing Real) will quite naturally pour itself into service on a deeper level – to yourself and everything around you.

But when David returned to bless his household, Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel distinguished himself today! He uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids as one of the foolish ones shamelessly uncovers himself!” So David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel; therefore I will celebrate before the Lord. I will be more lightly esteemed than this and will be humble in my own eyes, but with the maids of whom you have spoken, with them I will be distinguished.” read more. I always say releasing clothes is like releasing a burden! And don’t we all feel a bit free once we get home and strip down to our bare skin?Everything I’ve said above is grounding 101. And nakedness aside, it should be the cornerstone of our healthy energy habits whether it’s hugging trees or walking barefoot on the ground. But something truly magical happens when our entire bodies are in touch with the natural elements. Whether you roam the streets naked in protest, sunbathe nude on a private beach, or practice nudity in the comfort of your own home, it doesn’t matter. We are naked, proud, and free until we hit a certain age, and society deems it inappropriate to be without clothes. Not only are we taught to start wearing clothes – which in all honesty isn’t that big of a deal, but we are propagandized into believing that if we aren’t wearing clothes, then we should be ashamed of ourselves and our bodies.
