Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 > Tattoos are very painful. It violates the ahimsa > (non-violence) tenet of Yoga. Pain is a perception to the person experiencing it. What is perceived as painful to one is not necessarily painful to another. It is not up to anyone to decide what is painful to another. It would be passing judgement on another person to assume or say what is going to be painful for them. In fact when looking at the eight limbs it brings to mind the fifth to me. "Pratyahara, the fifth limb, means withdrawal or sensory transcendence. It is during this stage that we make the conscious effort to draw our awareness away from the external world and outside stimuli." Just my two cents worth. Namaste Rachel BTW I've been a lurker on the board for awhile and enjoy the discussions very much. I just felt compelled to contribute to this one.
