Day 6

I woke up around 9AM.

I began to practice immediately. I did sitting for one hour in the sunlight and then proceeded on to practice the foundations I have been taught. Once i finished with my practice about 90 minutes i was invited to go to the store with my teacher. I asked Steve many questions in the car. the most interesting conversation was when he told me he was going to tell me a secret that his teacher told him. He told me that you cannot get something if you do not ask for it. I have asked for certain things and they have been given to me. He told me a story how he needed to go to NYC every weekend to do training and every weekend he needed to find a ride or transportation when he was in "poverty." One of his wifes relatives I believe he said just retired as a conductor on the train. At retirement they are given a golden pass. This pass allows you to travel anywhere in the USA on train for free. Through some sort of energy that pass landed in his hands and he was able to get to NYC with no hassles. Another important not he told me that too many people are on the pursuit of money. Tai Chi teachers are not rich. I asked him if he has ever been on vacation. He said I am always on vacation.

When we got back from the store I ate the best salad ever and some flax seed bread. Then I proceeded onto my lesson.

Lesson

I started of with what I learned prior. Holding the positions as long as I could to strengthen my body. By the end of only 15-20 minutes of that I was sweating and ready to throw in the towel. However, I would never do that as this is only going to help myself I'm doing this for myself and I want to live the best life ever in the best health ever. After that Steve taught me more to the movement. And I did it over and over learning a new step each time. i asked him do i have to start from the beginning each time. he is like yes it only takes you 20s to do it, wait till you finish the movement; The whole movement is apparently twenty minutes long. It was a great training session. By the end of the hour I went upstairs and went to bed . I woke up an hour later and grabbed a glass of water. I then went of for a walk to see the scenery. I walked for about ninety minutes and then went back to the house. It was a great day so far I still have one more hour of practice I am going to do tonight then off to bed.
