Wednesday Practice

 

Total wash out this morning. Cloudy and grey....again! 

There's been a run on these grey washed out sunrises lately...Oy! 

 I predict that there will be a colorful one.....Soon!!

Right??

                                             It did lighten up about 20 minutes after sunrise.

                       The best part of higher tides is that it surely keeps folks off the beach!

The Photo (s):

The sunrise was at 7:16 with high tide at 8:54. It was another wash out, cloudy and grey sunrise. It did get lighter but there was virtually zip in the color department. 

There was a slight breeze from the east and it was warm enough to prompt me to take my hat and jacket off! At least is wasn't raining and cold!! Yay...

The Practice:

There was very little beach to practice on and the tide was rising. Once again I practiced in soft sand with lot's of seaweed scattered about. Not the easiest surface to practice on but I seem to be able to make it work for these old feet, ankles and knees. Yay!

I started with The 10+ interspersed with taking a photo or two......Stretching is a great thing to do in the early am to reset the golgi tendon organ. ("The Golgi tendon organ (GTO) is a proprioceptor – a type of sensory receptor that senses changes in muscle tension.")

Main thing is 'gently' stretching, getting lengthening through release as opposed to forcing it. The 10+ is a great system/modality to get the whole body top to bottom. With gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Leung Kay-Chi for teaching me the original 10. 

Next I did a Round (right side) focused on smooth, steady, expanded, relaxed and soft movements with a light and spirited feeling. I had a profound connection to natures energies as I viewed and contemplated the horizon.
