Evening Practice - I've been building an evening practice - smatterings of stretches from shiatsu, some yoga, some Pilates, some from the back care exercises from years ago - mostly focusing on the abs. It's a slow, flowing, relaxing practice, as I hop into bed immediately afterwards. I use the Chinese chime speheres as a focus for nearly all the exercises, even if they just rest on my stomach and add their weight. Next week I plan on getting to the full practice at least three mornings a week, in addition to continuing the evening practice. I don't really have any expectation that I'll be able to get off of blood pressure or cholesterol meds, but that is a goal. I haven't taken asthma meds for a year, and only took a couple of hits of the allergy stuff over the past week, but I want to improve my breathing so I don't have to fall back on them.
