5 Elements

Just coming to class was so hard today mentally. I was about ready to call it quits for the night but, as per usual, I stuck it through class. It's always rewarding in the end. I feel ok and my organs, especially my kidneys, are wrung out. Always new things to learn. Interesting (:

Flicking

              After flicking and shuffle steppping I've found that I can flick out most any kind of discomfort or tightness of a specific kind. I hurt my knee the other day and used it then. My hands also hurt from climbing and I have a twinge down my ring finger tendon area so I've been able to flick it out with pretty good accuracy down that line. Interesting and useful in an immediate kind of way. 

Flicking, Shuffling, Stepping, Kicking

Class this week was interesting. I learned something new with flicking from Tuesday's class. Also it's become distinct in a new way the difference in the mechanism/decision for walking vs shuffling. It's also always interesting to revisit certain movements after a time. Back bear was much more clear and I hav'nt done it in months. It's motivating to know progress.
