Focus Forward Friday: Got Ink?

 Focus Forward Friday: 
A weekly ritual for deepening your practice.

Today's focus: inky artfulness. Who's got a tattoo? Any readers out there sporting ink during your yoga classes?

I have a little one on my upper back. The Hubs and I got matching ones of sweet "S" design he drew (for our last name). Do you guys have any? Like em? Hate em?

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Bikram dislikes them, along with the color green. Sounds weird but seriously: he won't let people wear the color when they come to Teacher Training. And apparently he has voiced his dislike for body ink (saying it defaces the natural human body). 

But chances are you've seen a lot of people showing off their tats in the Hot Room.  I know I have. I enjoy seeing the artfulness of tattoos on yogis. A lot of beautiful and simple designs out there.

Have you got a tattoo? (PS If you don't yet, but are thinking about it: keep in mind you'll have to take a few days off of your Bikram practice if you get inked. Can't be stretching your skin and sweating a bunch while the tattoo heals!)

Nap

Photo of an eggy breakfast, source unknown.

Today certainly has been a Monday! 

I am looking forward to an afternoon nap after work, another bite of the delicious quiche I made for dinner last night, a short massage to hopefully work out these crazy knots in my neck and shoulder, and getting my Bikram fix at the late class.

You?

PS If you have recommendations for getting rid of neck pain, I'm all ears. Tonight's regimen for healing will be: Tiger's Balm, meditation before I nap (to stay relaxed and away from any tense dreams), massage, Bikram, and maybe a bath. Other thoughts?
