Indian Tradition
In India you have this ritual or tradition where the children or young one's in the family bow down (Namaskar) or touch the feet of their Parents or elderly in the family everyday to receive their blessings. Also their is something else, you bow down to sun in morning (Surya Namaskar) to thank for giving light & life to you & this planet. But I just realized it today that it has another impact on us behaviorally. It makes you humble & down to earth because then you realize that there is something or someone above you guiding your life & you are not neurotically engrossed in yourself that life is working because of you on this planet. Life was there before you, is there with you & will be there after you. We all are the subset of it. So whatever you consider has given life to you, practice once a day (especially in morning after you get up) of Joining hands and bowing down to thank them to have brought you to this planet.
