Exploring the foot couple and restarting practice

Week two of practice. Two experiences stand out from the last week of practice. The first was after watching a video on the plex server. Sifu Kelly was leading an exercise where one foot couple is actived more fully then alternating to the other foot being activated more fully. I tried this exercise. I felt a pumping pressure sensation in my neck muscles on the side that was more activated followed by a significant release of those muscles.

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.
