The Details:
It's 76 at the house. The sunrise was at 6:46. The last high tide was at 6:05. I'm up and at it early again this morning. That's step one!!
The Practice:
Yesterday late afternoon:
I wanted to try Qigong Walking The Beach without shoes on. So I located a pair of flip flops to walk down to the beach with. Once I arrived at the beach I left the flip flops under the Walkover and proceeded north on the beach until I got to 16th Ave.
Next I did Changes 1-5 (on both sides) of Yin Fu 8 Palms. I concentrated on change #5 after watching Sifu Ray explain the change in detail.
Next I QW The Beach back to the house.
The tide was up and there was very little beach to walk on. I was happy I was barefoot.
Today:
I started inside with acoustic guitar practice. I worked on Sugar Babe and Freight Train first then moved on to exercises 1-4 from the Travis Picking Book. I have a Zoom lesson with Shubal at 11 this morning.
I took my long rattan cane with me down to the beach around 8. I started walking south towards 27th Ave but turned around (there was no beach to walk on) and walked north to the 21st Ave Walkover to practice.
I started with a brief warm up using the first few from The 10
Next I used my long rattan cane to do a round of all four Modern Arnis Cane Anyo's. I did #1 on both sides the others just the right. I focused on wrist and shoulder health and consistency.
Next I did a Round of Taiji (right side) reciting the Taiji Classics and feeling my whole body be light and agile. I'm contemplating the idea of maintaining mobility for regular life as I practiced. I feel so fortunate to have Taijiquan in my life. With gratitude and appreciation.
Next I did a round of Anyo Pito focused on correct sequence and direction of postures.
Next I did a round of Sunsu Kata focused on the diagram of this Kata. I continue to get befuddled and slightly confused about the sequence and direction of postures. It's coming along....but slowly!
I finished with SPT and Healing Qigong before walking back to the house.
I'm planning on going up to Gaff's this morning in time to be back for my 11 am guitar lesson on line. We've got Spectrum Tech. coming to fix (hopefully) our cable box. Oy! Dealing with Spectrum is a nightmare!!
