A couple of weeks ago, I went to the kwoon with Sihing S Kohut before classes started to do a couple of reps of a form. I was able to do 2 reps of 18 temple but really felt it in my joints and my balance seemed to be worse, not better. Then to make matters worse, when I tried to help Sihing with Tai Chi and I could remember some moves and then I would draw blanks. It was very frustrating as I’ve been doing this for years! I know I have cognitive impairments from my treatments but it has not hit home so hard as that day. (I knew all the parts of 18 temple motions so I’ll take that as a win.)
I am hoping to start back on the mats in October and I think I will focus on the adult beginner class so I can relearn with them. I just need to put my ego away and be okay with where I am at today.
Update from my last blog, I was able to get a number of days of meditation in and my sleep has definitely improved but it is not a habit yet. Still working on that.
