Saturday Practice

 

The Details:

It's 71 at the house. The sunrise was at 7:09. The low tide was at 10:06. There were a lot of tourists on the beach. I saw Wes, Rocko and Nancy.


The Practice:

I QW to the beach just after sunrise.

I started with a full round of The 10+ focused on consistency, overall health, balance, breathing and agility.

Next I did a Round (left side) tuned into staying on the left side. I had a few moments where I was slightly confused about which side I was on and had to make adjustments. 

Next I did a full round of Standing Post Training using the Taoist Training Method of doing the most difficult postures (overhead) in the middle and ending (and beginning) with the easiest. I also tuned into abdominal breathing, alignment and Song.

Next I did a round of Anyo Pito (I realized that I did Anyo Walo yesterday, so I interchanged them) I did the Anyo close to the seawall at Ocean Condos for privacy a and had a challenging time keeping the sequence and direction of postures straight. I did pretty well, but not perfect. It was challenging!

Next I did a round of Sanchin Kata tuned into the timing of the the twist in my punches and breathing from the Dantien.

Next I used my wooden Bokken to do a round of Taiji Dao tuned into the sequence and postures.

Next I did a round of the 4 Modern Arnis Cane Anyo's (with my wooden Bokken)

Next I did left side basics with my wooden Bokken

I finished with Healing Qigong as I was returning to the house.
