The Details:
It's 66 at the house. Zack is here with a crew and equipment to re-do the stairs leading up to the back door. I'm going into Bernardston to Sweet Lucy's Bakery this morning. Lots of activity at the GilRoy Farm this morning!
I'm hoping to make it to the YMCA at some point to do a round of CYBEX strength training. But I may just do a dumbbell and TRX Strap session here at the house. Hmmmm!
The Practice:
"There is no such thing as great talent without great will power."
IMHO
"Those that rely on motivation to practice will have less results than those that have self-discipline."
It was late morning before I went out on The Deck to practice. There was a rain shower that moved through.
I started while it was still raining with a full round of The 10+ focused on consistent, daily practice for overall health. Consistency wins over intensity time and time again. IF you are looking to use Qigong and Neigong for health, practicing daily is an essential element. My advice is to realize that consistency will demand self-discipline....Period!
Next I did a Round (right side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I. I focused on the health benefits of conscious abdominal breathing (TLBreathing) and Zhong Ding throughout the form.
Next I did Changes 4-8 (Pheonix, Rooster, Chi-Ling and Monkey) of Cheng Style Baguazhang's 8 Animal Set. I focused on correct sequence and technique to the proper direction.
Next I did a round of Anyo Walo focused on correct sequence and overall quality of techniques.
Next I did a round of Sunsu Kata focused on using good quality basics, agility, mobility and sequence.
I finished with Healing Qigong. I returned to the house to journal my practice in this blog.
If you are looking at this please let me know. Thanks!
