The Details:
It's 58 at the house. It's cloudy but not raining. Yay!
The Practice:
I started by reading a poem from Evidence and finger style guitar practice.
Next I went out to my main practice area and started with a full round of The 10+ focused on consistency, overall health, relaxed balance, separating Yin/Yang and coordination.
Next I did a full round of Standing Post Training (SPT) using a 1 minute stop watch per posture. I focused on:
1. Anignment
2. Soong
3. TL Breathing
4. Calm, centered state of mind (equanimity)
Next I did a full round of Cheng T'ing Hua Baguazhang's 8 Animal Form. I did all 8 changes on both right and left sides. I had a glitch on #8, but think I worked through it.
Next I did a Round (left side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part II. I had a glitch at the end of Part II. I didn't react but handled the glitch with equanimity. I simply changed orientation and began Part III on the left side where I remained for the rest of the form. I considered this a win! Remaining in a state of equanimity during a glitch contributes to developing an abominable spirit; one of the main goals of all Martial Arts training.
Next I did a round of Anyo Pito focused on sequence, direction of postures, overall health and agility.
Next I did a round of Sunsu Kata focused on correct sequence and consistency.
I finished with Healing Qigong and writing in my blog about this day's practice.
