The Details:
It's 40 at the house. I have nothing on the schedule today
The Practice:
I started with acoustic guitar practice using a pick.
Next I went out on The Deck and did the first few of The 10+ but then decided it was too cold and windy so I went up to The Loft and finished the round of The 10+ focused on consistency. Once again I experienced significant inertia and had a challenging time to get a full practice in. I suspect I've added too much too soon and I'm struggling to approach my practices day after day. My daily practice has needed a fair amount of self-discipline to get started and get all the way through.since the spring/summer of 2023. Oy Vey! I keep reminding myself;
Don't think, just Do!
My nightly oral care routine has been very helpful in this regard.
Next I did a Round (right side). I used a track the I have on my computer that I recorded years ago. It's me counting (Master Liang's count) to 60 BPM with two tones and Shakuhachi music in the background. I had only one glitch in Part II and the count really helped. I was able to get back on track without missing a beat.
Next I did a round of Yin Fu Baguazhang 8 Linking Palms Changes 5-8 (both sides) using Lion Stepping throughout. Both sides are feeling better and better with each and every interaction.
Next I did Anyo Tatlo focused on applications and sequence.
Next I did a round of Seiunchin Kata tuned in detail and stance work.
Next I did a round of Taiji Staff (both sides). I used a double leg squat in place of the single leg squats. The left side sequence is feeling better as I practice it more regularly.
I finished with Healing Qigong
