The Details:
It's 65 at the house. We need a dump run for recyclables and a full grocery shop. We could use some sweet corn from Ciesliks Farm Stand.
NOTE:
I didn't make it to Ciesliks but we did accomplish everything else on the list plus I washed the Honda, Ginnie worked out at the YMCA and we picked up some sweet corn from Foster's. It's all good!!
The Practice:
I started inside with acoustic guitar practice
I've been consistent in my daily practice and it is coming along slowly but surely......My fingers hurt less!
Next I went out on The Deck with my trusty practice partner (Echo) and did a full round of The 10+. I recently added:
1. The Dragons Back after #7
2. The Ba-Ji after #8
3. I've also modified #9 to develop more relaxed balance and leg strength.
It was getting too hot on The Deck so I moved out to my main training area seeking shade.
Once I got to my training area I began with a Round (left side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I. I remained focused on keeping a neutral posture with a calm and centered my TL Breathing in and out my nose.
Next I did a round of Cheng Style Baguazhang's Yin/Yang Walking focused on counting my steps and monitoring which foot/leg Swing Steps and Hook Steps.
Next I did Changes 1-4 (on both sides) of Yin Style Baguazhang's 8 Linking Palms. Focused on correct sequence and consistency.
Next I did a round of Anyo Dalawa tuned into fully extending punches and adding more pop and spirit.
Next I did a round of Taiji Cane using my original hard wood cane. I did Parts 1, 2, 3 on both sides. I'm working of Part 4.
I finished with Standing PT and Healing Qigong.
