The Details:
It's 59 at the house. Lot's of chores today and maybe a visit with Paul & Jean?
The Practice:
I went out to my main practice spot around mid-morning.
I started out with a full round of The 10+. I've been focusing on being consistent and not overthinking or making excuses but simply Doing Them. It's a lesson that I've learned from my oral routine every evening. I rarely really want to do the routine because I'm tired and just want to got to bed. But if I don't think about it and just do it, before I know I'm finished. The reality of this mind set is helping to inform the way I approach my martial arts and qigong practice.
Don't think, just do!
Next I did a Round (right side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I. I tuned into a profound connection to Nature's Qi that was all around me. I felt a deep connection to the forest and individual trees, the sky, the air, the earth and the universe itself.
Next I did a round of Yin Baguazhang 8 Palms Set, Changes 5-8 reciting the names of postures and palm when I could. I need to work on memorizing the names of these postures.
Next I did a round of Anyo Lima focused on the correct sequence.
Next I did a round of Chinto Kata focused on the sequence and using a light body during the spins and jumps.I got turned around at the end. Oy!
Next I did a round of Monkey Staff tuned into the quality of my postures.
I finished with Healing Qigong and returned to the house to journal today's practice in this blog.
