Saturday Practice


 The Details:

It's 64 at the house, sunny and beautiful. We have an appointment at Spofford Lake to be briefed (by Bob Lupien) on the safe operation of the Whaler. We are going to volunteer to be the 'crash boat' during sailboat races. We've done it in the past but I'm interested in getting more involved at SYC and have an activity that I can do with Ginnie. Win/Win!!

The Details:

I started inside with acoustic guitar practice. I'm seeing some progress....finally! Oy Vey!!

Next I went out to the driveway to practice before our 10am appointment that we need to leave Leyden at 9:15 for. 

I started with a brief Warm Up using the first few of The 10 focused on stretch and consistency.

Next I did a Round (left side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I. I tuned into consistency, Taoist Longevity Breathing (TLB) and feeling Jin moving down and up the 9 Zig Zag Path through the Jin Lu

Next I did 4-8 on both sides of Cheng Style Baguazhang's 8 Animal Set. I focused on correct sequence and consistency. I felt more comfortable with #8 (Monkey Palm).

Next I did a round of Anyo Lima focused on applications, light body, consistency and doing the correct sequence.

Next I did a round of Chinto Kata tuned into agility, mobility, light body and overall health.

I finished with Healing Qigong as I returned to the house to journal this morning's practice here in this blog.

If you're looking at this please let me know. Thanks!!
