Our Vinca Periwinkle is Flowering in The Backyard. Sometimes it's called Madagascar Periwinkle.
The Details:
It's 60 at the house. The sunrise was at 6:58. The last high tide was at 6:02. I've got a Zoom guitar lesson at 11 this morning.
The Practice:
Yesterday afternoon:
I QW south past 27th Ave. Even though it was only a couple hours from high tide, there was plenty of beach to walk and practice on. I focused on being Loose, Supple and Relaxed, counting 4 steps inhale 6 steps exhale. When I got back to 21st Ave I did a full round of calisthenics on the Walkover. When I got back to the house I did a Drum Set Session using Syncopation exercise (page) #7 and then an acoustic guitar session in preparation for my lesson on Wed.
Today:
I started with acoustic guitar practice in preparation for my lesson at 11 this morning.
Next I found the track "Taijiquan at 60 BPM with me counting ala Master Liang" then bluetoothed my JBL speaker to my laptop so that I could practice Taiji in The Backyard on The Patio Pavers.
I focused on consistency and the discipline that it takes to remain consistent. With the metronome the 'time' is more consistent.
Next I did a short SPT and Healing Qigong
Next I went into my laptop to try and locate the original recording of The Taiji Music with Master Liang counting out the beats. I found it but was unable to figure out how to rename it so that I might be able to find it in the future. I don't practice to the music very often but I do find it inspiring to listen to and practice to Master Liang counting. The & at the end of the posture along with the 1 of the next posture really helps to dial in the 'stop without actually stopping'
I've always been fascinated with the entire concept of time. As a drummer/musician and martial artist timing is always an issue to stay aware of.
