The Details:
It's 64 at the house. It's forecast to be in the 90's again this afternoon. Yet another 'heat wave' Ugh!
It's Monday so I've got an 8:30 video meeting with Jeff this morning.
The Practice:
Around mid-morning I went out to The Deck with Echo to practice.
I started with a full round of The 10+ focused on health and consistency. I remain committed to doing a round of The 10+ every single day. If I do a 'brief warm ups' I feel that I'm short changing myself. I realize how incredibly healthy this set is but I still have to actually do them regularly. Without consistent daily practice there isn't a magic bullet, you simply have to do them! Don't think, just DO.
Next I moved to my main training spot to do a Round and finish going through my forms of the day (it's Day #7)
I started with a Round (right side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I. I focused developing a profound connection to nature's Qi.
Next I did Changes 4-8 of Cheng Baguazhang 8 Morther (Animal) Set. I still have a glitch at #8 (The Monkey Palm). The question is in left guard to I first go left or right? Hmmmm!! I'll keep working on it.
Next I did a round of Anyo Pito. I've got a glitch towards the end of this Anyo. I tuned into doing the correct sequence.I think I worked it out.
Next I did a round of Sunsu Kata tuned into the health benefits and using quality basics throughout.
Next I did a round of Taiji Dao using Master Liang's broadsword. I tuned into the timing of step and shuffle as well as keeping my eyes focused on the tip of the broadsword.
Next I did a round of Pa-Kua Knife. I got a little further today, but I'm still struggling with the correct sequence.
I finished with Healing Qigong before returning to the house to journal today's practice here in this blog.
