The Details:
It's 65 at the house. It's forecast to be in the 90's this afternoon.
The Practice:
I started up in The Loft in my music studio making a CD of last weeks Jam with Shubal and Bobby V.
While I was making the CD I did The 10+ and balanced our joint checkbook.
Afterwards I went out to my main practice area to be outside and finish my practice.
Once I arrived and got settled I started a Round (right side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I. I had a few glitches in Parts II & III but I stayed calm and centered and went back to either repeat the sequence of do it if I did indeed miss it. It's my usual M-O when I think I may have inadvertently skipped a section. I'm noticing more and more if my attention waivers I may inadvertently 1. Switch sides 2. Skip a section. I find that when I make an error and I recognize and accept that I did make an error, staying equanimous provides a perfect opportunity to work on my Indomitable Spirit.
Next I did session of Standing PT (Post training) focused on Soong and using the Taoist Formula of most difficult in the middle and easier at the beginning and end as well as Taoist Longevity Breathing throughout.
Next I did a round of Cheng style Baguazhang Yin/Yang Walking focused on the details of the movements and feeling the Changes instead of counting the steps. The more I practice this method the more I see the benefits.
Next I did a round of Anyo Isa focused on light body during the Progressive Steps and the quality of my basics.
Next I did a round of Seisan Kata focused on the timing of Shuffle and Punch/Strike
Next I did a round of Taiji Cane (both sides) focused on Whole Body in every movement.
I finished with Healing Qigong and returned to the house to journal today's practice.
