Vibrational Dressing : An Introduction
There is a way to dress that expresses who you really are and can bring you more of the kind of energy you are looking for. I call this Vibrational Dressing, but it could also be called bana. Bana is a term that comes to us from the Sikh religion, it’s a form of dressing which has specific energetic effects. Bana can be all white clothes with a turban on top and bana can be all the colors of the rainbow with gold shoes and a flower in your hair. Bana can be a sweatshirt and jeans. Bana is an expression of YOU. My teacher Harijiwan explains bana very well –and I’m paraphrasing here – ” your clothing is an expression of your consciousness” . This seems like the most obvious yet profound thought to me. We grow up being taught to follow trends and fit into “uniforms” . We aren’t usually taught to view getting dressed as a conscious act of self expression that has very specific effect on our energy field and our reality.
We’ll explore these concepts in a forthcoming series of posts on this subject. Until then I encourage you to begin to really pay attention to the often routine act of getting dressed. Why are you picking that shirt, those pants, that jacket? Are they expressing how you feel or are you following a subconscious program? How do you feel when you wear them? Do you notice feeling different when you wear bright colors as opposed to all black? How do you feel when you wear your favorite outfit? You can learn how to dress to feel that way all the time and I am going to teach you how.
Some subjects we will explore in future posts related to this topic are:
Vibrational Dressing for Energy : the Technique, Dressing the chakras, Color therapy , How clothing shapes your auric field , Traditional dress through the ages, Modern fashion as control system, Sikh clothing technology , All about wearing white , Why people wear turbans , Fabrics are energy conductors : natural fibers vs synthetic .. and much much more!
Stay tuned.
Tell us more! I’d love to explore the idea of how fabric relates with our energy fields. I have a strict no synthetic rule and always have. It energetically feels so static. Also, how clothing shapes your auric field is fun to think about. Would love to hear your thoughts on that! So excited that you are shining your rainbow out into the blogosphere. Looking forward to reading more from you.
thanks so so much Jess! I am so passionate about this subject and can’t wait to write lots more. Yeah natural fibers just feel sooo much better don’t they!
Love this. As a student and practitioner, I have found this type of awareness very helpful. In the mornings, I always ask my children, how do you feel today? What color do you feel today? And from there, they dress.
i love it Amy! thanks for sharing 🙂
Hi ! Thank you for your thoughts. I want to wear dresses! I look forward to reading about turbans, colors, and self expression with clothing. I am new to Kundalini yoga and I have always stayed away from organized religions. I am exploring and letting go of fear.
thanks for your comment Bonnie! It was great to meet you yesterday, thanks for coming to class.
