The Details:
It's 42 at the house. The coldest morning yet this season. Brrrrr! Ginnie has the last annual meeting as Commodore of SYC, afterwards there will be a dinner served inside the Club House.
The Practice:
I started on The Deck with Echo in tow. I did a full round of The 10+ focused on the overall health benefits of doing this very special set daily (as much as possible).
Next I went out to my main practice area and did a Round (left side) reciting my version of The Taiji Classics during Part I. I remained more tuned into the feeling and less on the thinking.
Next I did Yin style Baguazhang 8 Linking Palms (both sides) Changes 1-8. I recited the names of the postures where I could.
Note:
Since I worked on 8 Mother Palms Changes 1-3 with Jeff yesterday. I needed to 'catch' up with Day #2 by doubling up on some of the Forms in my 'rotation'. I'll be doing the same treatment with the Anyo's and Kata's. I did Taiji Cane yesterday so I'm good with the weapons forms.
Next I did a round of Anyo Isa and Anyo Dalawa tuned into regularity of practice.
Next I did a round of Seisan and Naihanchi Kata's tuned into using high quality basics.
Next I did a round of Taiji Jian using a wooden Taiji Jian Sword that belonged to my mother.
I ended with Healing Qigong as I returned to the house to journal today's practice.
