The Details:
It's 61 at the house. The sunrise was at 7:19. The high tide was at 5:32 (2.6'). It's a forecast to get very cold tomorrow evening. There's a frost warning for central Florida!
Notes:
I've decided to practice on the beach at sunrise today. It's been awhile and my main concern is to get back to sunrise practices.
The Practice:
I started with a modified version of The 10 Exercises: 10 reps of 'Tensegrity Swings', 10 reps of Up and Down, #1-4.
Next I did a Round (right side). I'm not used to the 'distrations' from the passersby on the beach. When I started Part III I mistakenly went to the Left Side. At Wave Hands I switched back to the right side. Oy Vey!
Next I did all 8 Standing Meditation postures and Healing Qigong. I've recently decided to go back to using 'Standing Meditation' as opposed to 'Standing Post Training' to describe the practice, even though SPT may be more accurate (historically). When I was first introduced to Standing by Master Paul Gallagher he used the phrase Standing Meditation to describe the practice.
I felt that was enough and returned to the house to eat breakfast, so I could take the last of my antibiotics (one more to go) and journal today's practice.
It felt good to do a Round on the beach at sunrise, although I was challenged by the 'quick sand' which made single leg balancing much more difficult.
