Sometimes when I am doing forms I lose track of what my body is doing? My go to was to videotape myself and then dissect the video. What do my stances look like, how are my transitions? When Sifu Brinker and I chatted about this, he reminded me we are doing 2000 year old forms. Our past masters did not have videos so what did they do? They had to listen more to their body for that reflection. I’ve been focusing on harmonies, relearning, and building muscle but now I want to add more self awareness of how my body feels and then evaluate. Is the feeling correct, should I be lower, am I raising my Center, where is the power coming from, am I grounded? Once I get to the point it feels right, then I can video to validate or correct.
I made good progress on my numbers this week and kept up on reading blogs so I am pretty happy about that. Still behind but I have a path to catch up. First is four weeks of hitting my numbers (to gain that consistency again after vacation) and then I will add 10% and reevaluate on my weekly blogs.
