The first sunrise of 2026
The Details:
It's 44 at the house...Brrr! The sunrise was at 7:18. The high tide was at 6:35 (3.3'). It's the first day of the year.
Notes:
It was cold but with less wind this morning. There were a few hearty souls walking and jogging on the beach. I saw Marty (wearing shorts) and walked back with him. We wished each other a Happy New Year.
The Practice:
I started with a Round (right side) focused on Counter Balancing and Song. I also tuned into a profound connection with nature to cultivate nature's Qi.
Next I did all 8 Standing Meditation Postures and Healing Qigong.
Next I did Cheng Style Baguazhang Yin/Yang Walking using Lion Walking throughout with smooth transitions from left to right side.
Next I did Anyo Isa focused on full extension and Balance.
Next I did Seisan Kate using good quality Basics.
Next I did a round of Taiji Cane first on the right side and then on the left. The left side got a little wonky in Parts III and IV but I managed to finish facing the correct direction.
I returned to the house to fix and eat breakfast and journal today's practices.
