The theme for this mornings session.
Doing / Not Doing
Doing first:
Align the bones - from the feet to the top of head
Release the muscles - from top of head to the feet
Bone Up - Muscle Down
Feel a connection from the bottoms of your feet to the top of your head
Not Doing:
Shifting your weight too far forward (in a bow stance)
Shifting your weight too far backward (in a bow stance)
Collapsing your bone structure
Overly tensing a muscle
Not releasing a muscle back to homeostasis (relaxed state) after using it
Overthinking
I went right into The 10+ Exercises using the first three postures from The Cheng Bagua Single Leg Standing Set for #9 and The Three Swings and Song Gong for #10
Afterwards we did 10 minutes of Standing Meditation with Single Leg Standing while doing Holding The Moon.
Next we did a Round (right side) holding postures throughout Part I
A short healing Qigong at the end of the Round
After class I reviewed the Tai-Chi Jian Form with Pat, Read and Janee. First time through with names of postures and second time without. Basic Lazy D with left hand and some discussion on the stance work involved.
