Thursday Practice

 




The Details:

It's 68 at the house. The sunrise was at 7:04. The low tide was at 9:23. It's still very windy.

Notes:

The strong N N/E wind made the kick sequences much more challenging. I only saw tourists on the beach this morning. I guess it was just too windy for any of the 'regulars'.

I think Sharon and her company left the Ocean Beach Club. I haven't seen them on the deck for days.


The Practice:

I started with a full round of The 10 and added a bit to #7 and #10. I've made some changes to #2 and have been able to look up and watch my palms as the hand is arcing up as I step to the side.

Next I did a Round (right side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Parts I & II. I tuned in to observing my consciousness 

"We may be the universes attempt to observe and experience itself"

It's fascinating to me to realize that I'm actually a living breathing part of the universe itself. The 'conscious' part.

What is consciousness? Hmmmm!

Next I did a brief Standing and Healing Qigong.

I finished with a round of Yin Style Baguazhang 8 Palms Changes 5-8 (both sides) focused on reciting the names of the Postures (where I could) and observing consciousness.

I returned to the house, realizing that in order to be on Day #8 in the Rotation I needed to be doing Cheng Style Baguazhang Old 8 Palms and Anyo Walo and Sanchin Kata. Maybe tomorrow? So I guess that I'm in a holding pattern.
