It was a bit warmer this morning. The high 50's I think. There was a little bit of wind coming in from the west. The tide was going down, scheduled to be low at 10:37 am and high 4:07. Sunrise was at 7:04 this morning. There was plenty of hard pack sand to practice on. A pleasant morning to be on the beach at sunrise!
With gratitude and appreciation.
The Practice:
This morning I tuned into using my connective tissue (fascia) as much as possible and using muscle as little as possible. I stayed focused throughout the session.
After reciting the T'ai Chi Ch'uan Classic I practiced Pore Breathing with the Earth (and nature), reciting out loud:
"Breathing in the new and the fresh
Breathing out the old and the used"
and
"Breathing in calm, centered, strength
abundant health,
resilience,
non-reactivity.
Breathing out excess tension,
anxiety,
stress,
reactivity,
injury or disease,
negative and/or limiting thoughts
any and all turbid qi."
Notes:
I saw a few of the regulars walking on the beach. I said a few words with Paul (the jogger) but that's it.
