How did you gauge your body as an average on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being very low, 10 being very high) in terms of the following parameters during the day:-
Temperature Range5
Density:4
Energy Level:7
Speed:7

What are your main observations and/or experiences from the MB?
Holiday!!!!

What are your main observations and/or experiences from the Manipulations?
Manipulations are feeling more comfortable. I feel quite comfortable with flexibility. I like the sense of space in the skeleton, of lengthening, extension. Its like an anti-gravity conteracting all that air pushing down and the constant being pulled into the earth. I like the release and the energy exchange..

What are your main observations and/or experiences from the Ground Work?
I am becoming a bit more subtle in my experience of the ground work, trying to appreciate slow as well as fast, small as well as big. Besoku was great. I watched the points of balance in the stride and the shifts of weight that occur to maintain balance. There is a point I found in the stride where I am off balance and cannot control my speed if I take a full stride. There is a tendancy in the exercise to pull the weight backwards to maintain balance which I do not think occurs in a natural walk. I couldn't find a way to get through this point. I had a clearer idea today of the rythymn of weight shifts from heel to toes through the legs, pelvis and shoulder girdle. It seemed to me like a spiral and took me back yesterday when we had to become other animals, of my attempts to move as an eel does.

What are your main observations and/or experiences of the whole day?
My energy is increasing. I went for a walk before dinner to the top of the hill north of the homestead. The landscape in this direction is so different to the landscape to the south. The rocks are layered and jagged until the top of the ridge where they form flat slabs. I noticed more small delicate green plants today. The clouds changed the entire space, the air, the sounds. After the exercises of the day I found that my sensory awareness of sounds and smells and textures was increased. It is quite magical. Maybe I can end up inhabiting my body.
