About a Hobbie

Hi everybody. Today I am going to talk to you about a hobbie that I have and that I like so much to do: tattoing  

Since a year ago I take a course about tattoo, where I learned some basics things about tattoo, things about hygiene, Photoshop apply to the tattoo and some other things like the needles, colors, machines, etc. These course was in September of the year 2015 and after a month approximately I bought a machine and some other supplies like ink, gloves, needles, papers, etc. I started practicing with some fruits and a time later some friends volunteered to be tattoed. Obviously some things go wrong sometimes and others the results were very nice. 

Obviously, because I am an student, I have not so much time to dedicate to these discipline or almost not all the time that I like to dedicate. In spite of these, I am drawing all the time and practicing some designs for some friends. I am trying to do one tattoo at the week. I consider myself an apprentice and a beginner, very far of a professional. 

I enjoy very much making tattoos because I thing that is a very important thing for the people that want one, they want to be marked forever by someone with some image that they always will see on their skin, marks that can remember they good or bad things. I consider tattoo like a therapy and, like any other therapy, it have to be done with respect and not with individual interests. 

Also I don't like to see these like a hobbie because I think that is something in that we have to put all the energy and the time, to could learn and practice more and have better results. I would like to dedicate to these someday. 

Yogui

Hi everyone. I have to say that it was very difficult to me have to choose between food and the sport that I practice because I love both of them and because I think that these two things are not just food or just phisical activity, I think that our food is our medicine and the sport a way to train the body to have a better worldly experience. 

So, inspite of these I decide to talk about the sport that I practice: yoga. 

I started practicing yoga two years ago in a school called "Loknath traditional yoga", a place where they try to do yoga like it was traditionally practiced in India, this means, not just doing a lot of asanas (the postures) and not just with a fitness purpose. Instead of these we practice breathing excercises to clean our body and mind, we sing mantras (songs in sanskrit lenguage which vibrations have benefits to you), we meditate and, of course, we practice the asanas. 

In these two years I have learn that the body is just a worldly vehicle, a way to connect with these reality and the things that we can found here. In these way, yoga doesn't look for a perfect body, yoga means union and all the practice that we do is a way to train the body so it wont be a obstacle at the moment of meditation. If you train your body with breathing, mantras and asanas you could keep the meditations postures longer and focus more and better. 

I should recomend to all the people practice yoga, because it is a very good physical and mental excercise and teach you a lot of things.
