The Details:
It's 41 at the house. It's my Mom's 97th Birthday today! Happy, happy birthday Mom! We'll be seeing you in about a month. Yay!
I've got a 12:30 lunch scheduled with Bill A. in Sunderland. I thought I'd reach out to see if I could visit with Paul before that
The Practice:
I practiced on The Deck with Echo in tow. I started with a full round of The Original 10 Exercises. I'm attempting to use the original 10 Exercises for my 'brief' Warm Up. It's sufficiently shorter than the entire 10+ is and I think I can make that work as my brief Warm Up. Time will tell....
Next I did a Round (left side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Parts I & II. I focused on following Jin from hips to feet to legs to waist to spine and finally forming in my fingers. I remained focused on expressing Jin in my fingers.
Next I did a brief Standing (PT) and Healing Qigong.
Next I did Yin Fu Baguazhang 8 Linking Palms Changes 5-8 (both sides) reciting the names of postures where I could. I used Lion Stepping throughout.
Next I did a round of Anyo Tatlo. I focused on applications. I also used 'light body' during the Progressive Stepping sequences.
Next I did a round of Seiunchin Kata focused on Stance Work and sequence.
Next I went out to my main practice area to do a round of Taiji Staff (both sides) focused on using double squat instead of the single leg squats in the Form.
