Short on time this morning, so I figured I would just pop on for a brief Tai Chi Practice update.
I am sore :).
Pretty much my whole body, but mainly my Kua (Inner Hips) and my all the way up my lower spine.
It’s a good soreness, like the one that comes after a good workout, and it confirms my suspicions that my movement has indeed changed.
The ongoing focus on incorporating my upper and lower body has start to pay off and I have started to be able to keep my mind in my lower body for longer periods of time. Before, I was moving my upper arms with all my intention in my upper body, treating the lower half as just kind of a tertiary unconscious movement. Unable to “feel” my legs moving, let alone which parts were moving when.
Encouraging progress for sure, but I still have a long way to go in order to integrate it in to my movement without having to thing about it.
There is a two week break coming up in classes for the fourth of July, I plan on using that time to put together a couple more videos I have floating around in my head. I have come to the conclusion that shooting, is the easy part. The editing and graphics are going to take a bit.
So, I am going to shoot three or four videos and spend the next three months editing and releasing one at a time. Not really sure the increments yet, but I imagine it will sort itself out :). But at least I will have content to mess with and hopefully start to release in a more timely schedule.
If you havent already, checkout my YouTube Channel and subscribe so that you get updates on new videos, they wont always have a blogpost associated with them :).
