Tuesday 'New Years Eve Day' Practice

 


The Details:

It's 68 at the house. The sunrise was at 7:18. The high tide was at 8:57. It's the last sunrise of the year, I'm going to try and make it and take some photos. 

The Practice:

I QW to the beach to capture the final sunrise of the year. I haven't been making it down to the beach very often for sunrise this season. I made an effort to be there this morning. After setting up my tripod and camera I met Jamie and then Roger.

After snapping a few photos of the sunrise I began my practice with a full round of The 10+ focused on Willpower and consistency. I celebrated the fact that at 73 I'm still moving pain free. Martial Arts works for health but you still have to 'do it', ceaselessly as you age. 

Next I did a Round (left side) reciting the Taiji Classics as I did Part I. I had a profound connection to The Atlantic Ocean and nature in general. I focused on the horizon and contemplated how many of my ancestors witnessed sunrises throughout history. Gives me chills when tap into that.

Next I did SPT and Healing Qigong

Next I did a round of Anyo Dalawa focused on applications and health.

Marty, Ginnie and Echo showed up on the beach and I stopped to talk to them.

After they left I did a round of Seisan Kata focused on consistency, willpower and quality basics.
