The Photo:
The sunrise was another wash out this morning. When it did rise at 7:19 it did get a little lighter but very little color. The last high tide at 5:59. So the tide as going down and there was plenty of hard packed sand to practice on. It was cool but not cold and the wind was light. I did need gloves but didn't need ear flaps.
The Practice:
Soon after I set up my camera rig I met Roger who has been coming to NSB for 50 years. Nice interaction with him. Next I met another new sunrise beach friend, Rich who is here for 2 months. Another nice interaction. Those conversations with folks while I'm on the beach have become more and more important to me these days. It's my 'social' time!
After socializing I did a full warm up using The 10+ celebrating that I'm still able to balance on both legs, with good flexibility and strength in my legs and core. I'm still able to stay in a full squat in #8 and #9 and balance and stretch for #6. I highly recommend doing The 10 and The 10+ everyday. The younger you start the better. Note: You will never be younger than you are today!
Next I did a Round (left side) reciting the Tai-Chi Classics (my version) out loud while doing Part I.
Next I did a Standing Meditation session cultivating with natures energies using Holding the Moon and Play Guitar. I had a profound connection to nature all around me and inside of me too!
Next I reviewed Anyo Pito (#7) and Sunsu Kata focused on full extension, higher quality kicks and punches and overall agility.
