The Details:
It's 69 at the house. Nothing is scheduled today...Just all my daily practices.
The Practice:
I started by reading "We shake with joy" a poem by Mary Oliver and acoustic guitar practice.
It was late morning before I made it out to my main practice area near Big Greenie.
I started with a full round of The 10+ focused on consistency and overall health and mobility/agility.
Next I did a Round (left side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I. I caught myself at the end of Part I / beginning of Part II transitioning to the right side. I realize there are some specific points in the form that are more susceptible to transitioning from right to left and vice versa.
Next I did a round of Yin Style Baguazhang's 8 Linking Palms Changes 5-8 on both sides. I focused on the particular sequences in this form as accurately as possible. I also focused on mobility/agility as I realize more and more that there has been a change in my 70's after 9 years in retirement. You can run but you cannot outrun father time! It catches up to everyone....eventually. I consider exercise, eating well, sleeping well and having L O V E in your life is all important but in reality it just 'hedges your bet'. Doing all that does help one maintain mobility longer than the average person. In the end it's definitely worth while. IMHO
Next I did a round of Anyo Tatlo focused on full extension, correct sequences and applications.
Next I did a round of Seiunchin Kata focused on fully completing one move/technique before starting the next.
I finished with Standing PT and Healing Qigong
I returned to the house to journal my practice in this blog.
