Have you guys ever seen a black string type bruise over the toes, with toe ups (and toe stands: knuckle form) and a mix of hatha, Iygengar, and Ashtanga. I once got crazy with the Shandor Remete toe craze and had this black string bruise that I was so proud of for the time (it goes across all toes at about the same point like someone placed a string over all of them, both feet). I was doing a little tap and ballet too; but I know that my feet felt great and that the string across the toes was at least part of the reason. Still though, it kind of had this caffeine type affect on me; like it can be hard to sleep sometimes until I get used to it. I'm starting to get into it again. I did my first set of toe-ups and pose yesterday. Combining it with a "mind over matter" (work out) practice and meditation (that and a daily class at sci,) My business is getting better too; can't let my guard down till it's over...but I am wondering about the toes; made me think of one of those strange yoga anomolies. Do you guys know if it means something bad or if I am enlightened? (lol) I do have a dark complexion (tan) so for it to stand out it has to be really visible: I wish I had a picture. I'll try and get it back and take one.
