The Details:
It's 62 at the house. Ginnie's running a fever (102.7 last night). Out of an abundance of caution, I'm going to cancel the music in The Barn this afternoon.
The Practice:
I started on The Deck with Echo in tow with a full round of The 10+ I focused on getting them all in even though this might have been a brief warm up day....Still, for these special exercises to work as medication I realize that they must be done regularly...preferably daily!
Next I moved to my main training area to do a Round (right side) reciting my version of the Taiji Classics during Part I. I tuned into Counter Balancing throughout the Round.
Next I did a round of The 21 (Taiji Qigong). I primarily focused on the correct sequence especially after the 'push the hands to the side like moving a mountain' just before 'stimulate the triple warmer'
Next I did a brief Standing and Healing Qigong Session.
Next I did Changes 1-4 (both sides) of Cheng style Baguazhang 8 Mother (Animal) Set. I focused on using Mud-Wading Step with three circles in each direction at the beginning of the Set.
Next I did a round of Anyo Apat focused on the correct sequence and applications.
Next I did a round of Wansu Kata focused on the correct sequence and the timing of my stance and strikes.
Next I did a round of Taiji Staff (both sides) focused on stance work.
I returned to the house to journal today's practice.
