Last night, after playing Tai Chi, the time is still a little early, Mr. Qi said you all stand pile, see who can adhere to the longest time.
It's been a long time since I stood on piles, and I wanted to try, so Wang and I took the lead. Adjust the posture, as far as possible, their feet, legs, knees, waist, back, arms, neck, head and hands are placed in the right position, concentrate on quiet breath, so that they enter the state as soon as possible. One by one, a few more brothers and sisters joined the challenge under the encouragement of the teacher, who set us a goal of half an hour, of course, depending on their own situation, to stick to it as much as possible. Half an hour, although I have never stood for such a long time before, but I silently set a goal in my heart, I want to challenge!
Ten minutes later, a big brother said he couldn't hold on, he was very curious, how to stand still will sweat it? Yes, although the stakes look to be standing still, in fact, mobilized the whole body parts together in the work. At this time, I obviously feel my back sweat trickle down, but the whole body does not feel sore, uncomfortable place, but feel that I am now gradually into the good.
Five minutes later, one after another behind the brother and sister to join the exit, leaving only the beginning and I together Wang sister for company. I closed my eyes, try not to be disturbed by everyone's words, the music of the square dance on both sides is very loud, I right as a kind of enjoyment. Adjust their breathing, and the rhythmic sound of the music as much as possible in tune, so that will not think about where the limbs will be uncomfortable.
Twenty minutes, Wang sister also quit, I know that she in order to accompany me has done their best. At this time, the square dance is also dissolved, the surrounding began to quiet down, let everyone accompany me, a little embarrassed. I said: Why don't we stop here, everyone go home. But Ms. Qi insisted that I stand for half an hour.
I asked Li to play a section of Tai Chi music, familiar music played, will let me know how much time has passed. Because I was already feeling a little tired at this point. Li chose the tune "Autumn Water is Long", not our usual music for Tai Chi, and the enthusiastic Sister Zhang played a set of 74 postures, just enough to accompany me through these last 10 minutes.
I was facing south, Sister Zhang boxing behind me, I can not see. If I could see and distract myself, perhaps these ten minutes would pass a little faster, but in this case, I can only rely on my own will to hold on. When Sister Zhang did a prancing and jumping posture, I can judge from her footsteps that the boxing path is almost halfway through, which means that I still have the last five minutes to hold on.
For the last 5 minutes, I focused on all parts of my body from head to toe. The shoulders and neck area, which was the most achy when I originally stood on the stump, had a feeling of fatigue this time, but I was able to keep going for a little while longer. Further down is the waist, I still feel that my waist eye area is not topped out, I usually feel this way when I walk, my waist is the part of me that is most prone to injury, and as the weather has recently turned cooler, my waist is the first part of me that feels the need for protection. Thighs, knees, calves, ankles, feet, toes, among these parts, the knees have the strongest sensibility, perhaps this stance is the most effective stimulation of the knees. At this time I did not have the beginning of the sweaty feeling, a little puzzled, why no longer sweat, is it their own posture problems? Later, the teacher explained that it is actually the meridians through.
The 30 minutes finally ended, and my challenge was successful! Thank you for the teacher's proposal today, perhaps he was originally aimed at me, this kind of specialized training is very rare. Thank you for the companionship and support of several brothers and sisters, Li put music, Zhang boxing "dance", Sister Wang finally enthusiastically over to help me, this is everyone's love and care for me. Although the weather in the fall has been cool, but the warmth of the atmosphere is still wrapped around me, so I am particularly moved and happy.
In the meantime, there is another master of taijiquan, Mr. Wang, he came over to talk with Mr. Qi for a while, said taiji can really stick down not many people. Come to think of it, indeed. Square playing tai chi seems to be a lot of people, but, always follow the "old man" is less and less, so I'm a "newcomer" recently always be whisked to the front row by the teacher to lead the line. Recently, because I have to participate in educational walking and reading group sharing, coupled with the rainy weather, I really don't have much to lean on. My back is the first thing to go on the alert, so I'll have to keep exercising in the future. The cold winter is coming, I hope to be like last winter, and then insist on a few days of cold.
