Wednesday Practice

 

The Details:

It's 69 at the house. The sunrise was at 6:45. The low tide was at 7:21. I've got an 11am guitar lesson with Shubal on Zoom. (Postponed until next week)

 The Practice:

There were painters again next door. They are painting the exterior of our neighbors Janet's house. So I practiced outside (always the best choice) on the front patio.

I started inside reading a poem by Mary Oliver and guitar practice. I just learned that Shubal is not feeling well today. So it'll be next Wednesday before we meet.

Next I went out to the front patio and did a full round of The Ten+ focused on consistency (that's a big deal!) and health. FYI - Whatever the modality it only works if you 'do it' regularly enough and in a sufficient quantity and quality to add to ones overall health. Clinical Dosage + Consistency = Better Health

Next I did a Round (right side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part I. I tuned into a meditative state of mind (MSM) throughout the form

Next I did Standing Post Training (SPT) and Healing Qigong.

Next I did a round of Anyo Walo focused on full extension on my kicks and punches as well as overall relaxed balance when kicking.

Next I did a round of Sanchin Kata focused on connecting my breath from my Dan T'ien to my punches  and strikes.

I finished with Healing Qigong.
