Big Greenie
The Details:
It's a chilly 45 at the house. It rained overnight but it's not raining now. It's Friday and I have a standing video meeting with Jeff at 8:30.
The Practice:
I went out to my main practice space to practice in front of Big Greenie around mid-morning.
I started with a full round of The 10+ focused on breathing in fresh air and connecting to serene and peaceful energy emanating from the forest all around my training spot. I contemplated my connection to nature throughout the round.
Next I did a Round (left side) reciting my version of the Taiji Classics during Part I. I focused on cultivating the calm and serenity that was all round me. I tuned into breathing in the fresh air.
Next I did a full round of Cheng T'ing Hua Baguazhang's 8 Animal Form. I tuned into consistency and how that is essential to get the health benefits of practicing this set.
Next I did a full round of Anyo Pito tuned into the correct sequence. I had a challenging time but I think I got it after a few takes.
Next I did a full round of Sunsu Kata tuned into agility and mobility. I had some challenges to the correct sequence right at the end of the kata, I realized that I should do forms with the same orientation in order to get the cues for what direction the movements should be in. I believe I started this kata from a new orientation and that is what was confusing at the end. Oh well!
I finished with Healing Qigong and journaling my practice in this blog.
