Sunrise this morning


 I made it out to the beach early again this morning. I was rewarded with a spectacular display of color. Mother Nature never fails to amaze me. 

I did a little meditation while I was intermittently shooting photos, then I came back home to participate in Sensei Jeff's virtual Tai-Chi class at 8am. Had a nice warm up and a round with the group Hung out after class with Phil (virtually) and shared some principles and drills I've been working on with the Tai-Chi Spear / Staff. 

I was happy to see Nancy and Read in class at the Studio, along with Wes, Paul and Jeff. WooHoo!! Can't wait to get back in the room with all of you. It's coming;^)

Sunrise practice on the beach this morning


 I was determined to make it out to sunrise this morning!! Happy I did...

I was rewarded with a slight breeze, mild temperature (60's) and calm seas. Besides a low cloud bank on the horizon, the sky was completely clear.
I snapped a few photos, then warmed up with The 10, The Three Swings and Song Gong, followed by a 'round' of Tai-Chi (left side), some meditation and finished with some qigong. Very pleasant indeed;^)
Take a few moments to be still and breathe deeply.....Slow, Fine, Even and Soft. In and out through the nose. The abdomen is expanding on the inhale and contracting on the exhale.
Even a few breaths can make a BIG difference.

Enjoy your day!
