#Reading “The Dao De Jing: A Qigong Interpretation”, Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming (Lao Tzu Original Author) along side starting “Virtual Tai Chi” on my Quest 2 VR headset.

For many years I have been “doing a Tai Chi” routine without seeking or feeling a “doing not-doing” mind. As I begin learning a new #TaiChi practice, I am hoping not doing the old will allow my old mind to learn to quiet the world so I can experience some virtual visits in the nothingness.

Good Evening from the English East Midlands

What a day!
I think it's been exhausting because of the temperature more than anything else.

I went to TaiChi this morning as usual - she's got us doing it to music now (dreamy plinky-plonky oriental tune) which gives the form a totally different vibe.
We're also making progress with the new form she's trying to teach us (possibly called 'eight methods')

I dropped off another two big bags of books at the charity warehouse.

No allotment today because there was an online meeting with Social Services about Kasa's previous failed placement.
I don't think I've ever been to such an unprofessional ramshackle get together before. A separate meeting is being planned.

The rest of the afternoon I was wandering around the Amateur Radio bands listening but not transmitting.

After tea watched some rubbish on the TV and added some more details to our holiday plan.

That's #myDay #Today - I hope yours was a good one.

#taiChi

Can't stay consistant with anything for more than 3-4 months at a time. Then I just have to take a break, usually a long one.

Trying to get back to #taichi now. Thinking of adding some #Qigong excercises to keep the #hobby more diverse.

For folks in the #Boulder area, if you've been wanting to learn #TaiChi, we have a new beginning class that starts next month.

And if someone does see this and signs up, please let me know you saw it on Mastodon. Since that would both surprise and delight me!

Why You Should Part the Wild Horse’s Mane 🐎☁️
No, it’s not a riddle — it’s a graceful tai chi move rooted in poetic tradition. From “Grasp the Sparrow’s Tail” to “Move Hands Like Clouds,” tai chi brings flow and metaphor together.

During this morning's #TaiChi practice, I felt something cold and wet on the top of my right foot at the bare spot between the top of my shoe and the bottom of my trousers. It looked like a fallen leaf.

However, closer inspection revealed that a slug that had crawled onto my foot and was almost on my ankle by the time I noticed.

I knew practice was a little slower than usual today, but still... 🐌 😁
