I think the "practices" section was difficult for me. I can understand engaging in most of them on a shallow level as part of cultural awareness, and engaging in yoga and things with a proper teacher would be okay and eventually lead to cultural understanding, but I don't think it's a good idea to create artwork you're, say, intending to sell, without having lived in and understood the culture in question.

I definitely don't think you should put permanent ink on your body with symbols you don't intimately understand. You could have gibberish written on you, which cheapens the whole idea.
