Saturday Practice

 

The Details:

It's 62 at the house. The sunrise was at 6:48. High tide is at 8:42 this morning. It looks like I'll be practicing in The Backyard again this morning. 

The Practice:

Yesterday afternoon:

I started inside with Bass Guitar practice followed by Drum Set and Acoustic Guitar practice. I'm slowly making progress across the board. Consistency works!!

Around 4:30 I went out to QW (Qigong Walking) The Beach:

Roll The Feet

Soften The Knees

Release The Lower Back By Aligning The Head And Shoulders.

TLB (Taoist Longevity Breathing) 4 Steps Inhale, 6 Steps Exhale

Breathing: Slow, Fine, Even and Soft

QW: Loose - Supple - Relaxed

- Align to Relax -

Relax Releases In All Directions 

And Connects Internally And Externally 

I thought that there would be more beach to walk on since the low tide was at 2:30. I was barely able to get past the seawalls at 16th and 18th Avenues. It's a full moon tonight so it's a 'King Tide' and the highest tides are in November and there's a strong N/E wind coming ashore all that makes for hardly any beach to walk on except for at low tide. Oy Vey!! Hopefully it will get better? Fingers Crossed

I made it all the way to The Pelican Condos before turning around and QW back to 21st Ave where I did a full round of Wuji Hundun Qigong and some Walkover Exercises before returning to the house.

Today:

I went out to The Backyard to practice around 8:30 ish and started with a full round of The 10+ focused on the discipline needed to be consistent. If I choose to not do them, I feel that I'm the only one that loses. So the basic idea is to not think, just DO! The secret (shhh) if you find yourself ready to clean closets, just start!

Next I did a Round of Taijiquan (left side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I - I tuned into calibrating my frequency to connect to 'the information'. I had glimpses of getting the knowledge/information from the ether. 

Next I did SPT and Healing Qigong

Next I did a round of Anyo Dalawa tuned into more snap/focus on my punches and agility in the stance work.

Next I did a round of Seisan Kata focused on quality basic punches and kicks adding more snap and proper extension. I was focused on overall health.
