Tuesday Practice

 

The Details:

It's 75 at the house. The sunrise was at 6:40. Lots of unpacking, organizing and grocery shopping to do today.........Oy!

The Practice:

I've decided to up my Qigong Walking by adding a morning session before I practice.

*Qigong Walking (QW) - Reciting "Loose, Supple and Relaxed" -  Emphasizing the opposite rotation of hips and shoulders - Rolling the feet - Using TLB (Taoist Longevity Breathing) - Contracting the perineum and feeling as if walking on a trampoline. 

Today I QW (Qigong Walking) down to the beach around 8 am, but the tide was too high to walk on the beach even though high tide isn't until 11 am. So I walked on Hill Street up to The Pelican Condo's (15 minutes)  and practiced  on the south side boardwalk. 

I started with a full round of The 10+ adding railing stretching and railing push ups and using Snake and Hawk Palm Change from the Yin Fu 8 Palms Set when I got to #9.

Next I did a Round of Taiji (left side) reciting the Taiji Classics while I practiced. I added:

Reciting "Loose, Supple and Relaxed" while I was walking emphasizing the opposite rotation of hips and shoulders.

Breathing In The Sea Is In Me,

Breathing Out I am The Sea

Next I did a round of Anyo Pito focused on the correct sequence and direction of postures.

Next I did a round of Sunsu Kata - Note the sequence and direction of postures at the end of Sunsu are really flushing out. 

I finished with Healing Qigong

Next I Qigong Walked back to the house.

Saturday, Sunday and Monday Practice

 The Details:

I'm on The Road for the next few days. It might be Monday before I can get internet access and a computer. Until then......My main goal is to stay consistent. 

It's Monday and we're finally here! Yay!!

The Practices:

I'm going to try for early (very early) morning rounds with brief warm ups. I'll write it up when I can. 

Saturday, I practiced outside at a rest area in Maryland. Basic practice starting with a brief warm up and a Round (left side) focused on consistency and health.

Sunday practice:

I practiced in the hotel room early before we left to drive (500 miles) to Sherry's in Bluffton SC

I started with a full round of The 10+ focused on health and consistency. My lower back was pretty tight from the long day of driving the day before. 

Next I did a Round of Taiji (right side) tuned into consistency.

Monday Practice:

I practiced outside on the patio at Sherry's with a great view of The Woods behind her house.

I started with a full round of The 10+ focused on health. My back felt normal throughout. Yesterday's round of The 10 really helped....Yay! 

Next I did a round of Taiji (left side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I 

I finished with Healing Qigong.

Next we drove south to Orange Park and stopped to visit with my 96 year old Mom. 

Next we drove south to New Smyrna Beach

The beach took a beating with Hurricane's Helene and Milton. I heard that Miltons winds were up around 100 mph. Yikes! The big black bags seemed to work....So far, so good! Yay!!
