It was raining when I first started my practice this morning so I practiced inside looking out at the view.
I started my Warm Up inside with The 10+ Exercises. After my Warm Up there was a break in the rain so I went outside on the deck to do a Round (right side).
Today I was focused on the connection between the slight stretch and release of the fascia and it's effect on the Vagus Nerve. I'm very interested in this relationship. I had a visceral experience as I focused on Stretch/Release of Fascia....As I continued to focus on that I became more and more aware of a deepening of my meditative state of mind. It felt almost like shifting into a higher gear.....Everything became lighter and more 'spirited'....A wonderful feeling that I've experienced before but it was different this time. There was a deepening of the feeling and instantaneous 'transformation' to this set of movements that I've been practicing since 1978. There was a profound change in the way the Round felt.
Cool Beans!!
After my round I spent some time on the #1 Change of the second Yin Fu Bagua Zhang Set. I recited the names of the postures out loud.
- Lean on the Horse to Inquire the Way
- Hide the Flowers Beneath the Leaves
- The Wild Goose Leaves the Flock
- (Bagua Guard)
- Mount the Horse and Draw the Bow
- Close the Door and Push the Moon
If you have any insight or information regarding the connection between fascia and the vagus nerve please pass it along. Thanks
