Thursday Practice


 The Details:

It's 42 at the house. The sunrise was at 7:15. The low tide was at 11:56. 

Notes:

It's still cold and even colder in Leyden. I'm getting some very low readings from the camera's up there 31 in the kitchen and 37 in the loft. 

The Practice:

I started inside with a round of the 10 Exercises and strength training for #8 I also did the 3 swings and Song Gong for #10.

Next I went outside to do a Round (left side) focused on feeling Jin coming up from my feet to my arms and fingers.

That was all I had in me today. I had a hair cut with Tonya at 10:30

I Qigong Walked (QW) on the Beach in the late afternoon. The sights, sounds, feel (wind), salt air and smells are truly a gift. It was cool with a mild north wind. 

I did mobility training at the mid point and stretching and incline push ups (I've added 'pushing off' to my routine) on the 21st Ave Walkover. On the beach I did a round of Yin Style Baguazhang 8 Linking Palms Changes 1-4 (both sides) reciting the names throughout. I've borrowed some names from the 2nd Yin Style Form, I've also change how I'm doing #3 (Hawk and Bear Palm) to conform with that 2nd Form.
