The Details:
It's 44 at the house. Brrr! The sunrise was at 6:58. The low tide was at 9:38.
The Practice:
It's a cold and windy start to the day.
I started inside with a reading from Evidence and accoustic guitar practice, I've been feeling a bit discouraged by my guitar practices. I'm having a very challenging time not muting strings when I'm playing chords. Slow and steady is the word. My level of discouragement has to do with how I'm approaching it. I guess I'm on the right track? I know I'm frustrated and have to remind myself about baby steps. Looking for that 1% change from session to session. Oy Vey!
Around mid-morning I went out to the backyard and started with a full Modern Arnis Cane Warm Up using my Dragon Canes. It's been awhile since I worked out with my Dragon Canes.....They felt heavy!
I also did a Modern Arnis basics review.
Next I used my Dragon Canes to do a round of Taiji Double Dao Form focused on shoulder health, agility and having a light body especially during the Progressive Steps.
Next I did a Round of Taijiquan (right side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Parts I & II. I tuned into relaxed balance, opening my hips and making small circles systemically at the ends and beginnings of postures.
Next I did SPT and Healing Qigong:
"Qi permeates my Bones"
Next I did a round of Anyo Walo tuned into the quality of my basics.
Next I did a round of Sanchin Kata focused on punching position, breathing and applications.
I finished with Healing Qigong
