Monday Practice

 

The Details:

It's 62 at the house. The sunrise was at 7:11. The high tide was at 5:28 (2.0'). The Gieco insurance adjuster is coming this morning between 9-10. This is Day #4 in the Rotation. I realized afterwards I did Day #5 Anyo and Kata. I'll rectify that tomorrow morning. 

There are Gale Force Wind from the N N/E today and the ocean was all kicked up (angry). The beach was almost empty. I dressed for it and kept my hood up and turned my back to the north when I could.

Note: I saw Eddie and Almond Joy on Hill Street and Josh waved from his Condo. On 22nd Ave I say Al and Molly. Both dogs expect some attention!

The Practice:

I started with a full round of The 10 Exercises. I did the + part for #3 and #10, otherwise I stayed with the original 10.

Next I did a Round (right side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part II. I payed extra attention to staying on the right side, mainly to exercises maintaining constant attention to what I was doing. There were very little distractions this morning. I didn't have a single person pass me! Very unusual on the beach.

Next I did all 8 Standing Postures and Healing Qigong.

Next I did a round of Cheng style Baguazhang 8 Animal Palms Changes 1-4 (both sides). I used Mud-Wading Step for the intro and then Lion Walking for the Changes.

Next I did a round of Anyo Tatlo (should have been Anyo Apat in the Rotation) I tuned into Flow, Sequence and Consistency. 

Next I did a round of Chinto Kata (should have been Wansu Kata) I tuned into mobility and agility.

Next I did a round of Taiji Staff (right side) tuned into the correct sequence and Mobility and Agility.

Next I did a round of Taiji Staff (left side) focused on the sequence using the left side.

I returned to the house to eat breakfast and journal today's practices.
