Just before sunrise, when I first got set up on the beach
The Photo:
The sunrise was at 7:04 and the next low tide will be at 9:40. It's cold (60's) with a north wind on the beach. The weather guy said the wind would be stronger but it wasn't bad at all. Yay! I dressed for it anyway.
The Practice:
I did a full 10+ with additional cane work. I did mostly two cane basics like Redonda and Sinawalli's with stance work.
Next I did a Round (right side) focused on: My body feeling light and agile......I felt very big and open throughout with a strong sense of Zhong Ding (central equilibrium). d
"Using neutral postures, readily able to transform energy, through aligned bones and slightly stretched connective tissue, maintaining a calm and relaxed but focused mind."
I also tuned into feeling Song (release) continuously throughout the session.
Remember:
Muscle Down,
Bone Up
Next I reviewed Anyo Dalawa (Modern Arnis empty hand form #2) and Seisan Kata along with Tai-Chi Cane (right side) and the 4 Modern Arnis Cane Anyo (isa, dalawa, tatlo, apat in Tagalog Fillipino).
I ended with a Healing Qigong
Notes:
I saw several of the sunrise beach regulars. Notable Paul, Nissann and Natasha
They loved this photo of them goofing off on the beach....Yay!
