The Details:
It's a warm 69 at the house. The sunrise was at 7:14. The low tide was at 6:07. There was no wind at all in the backyard, thus lots of no-see-ums! Ugh!! On the beach there was a slight breeze from the west, just enough to keep the bugs away...I guess? It was significantly better on the beach!
Elizabeth stopped to chat briefly.....I haven't really seen any of the other 'regulars' walking on the beach at sunrise this season. But then again I haven't been going out for sunrise until recently. Oy!
The Practice:
I started in the backyard with a round of The 10+....The no-see-um's were so bad (even with natural bug spray) that I decided to walk to the beach for the rest of my morning practice.
It was better on the beach. Once I got down there I did a Round (right side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Part II. I focused on cultivation with the ocean for a calm and centered state of mind.
Next I did a round of Anyo Apat focused on the correct sequence and direction of postures.
Next I did a round of Wansu Kata tuned into agility, mobility and health.
I finished with Standing and Healing Qigong as I was returning to the house.
