10/10
Wednesday, January 10, 2007
Today was the first real low energy day of NaYoPracMo. I had a pretty physical day at work which may account for part of it but I was pretty much shot after the standing poses. So it was quick but I'm happy with what I did do. I tried that press the fingers down, lift the palm up thing again... that may have helped tap me too. Once the forearms fail it puts more work in the shoulders. ah, well, I practiced and I wrote. G'night.

Chris - I know I'm coming late to the party here, but I don't think that it's a great idea to be putting more weight into your fingers than your palms. It puts unnecessary pressure on the wrists. If you want a better idea (in my opinion), draw your heels back when in chatturanga to even out the weight distribution, and when jumping forward or back, strive to flatten out the hollows of your palms (as opposed to coming forward onto your fingers). Just my two cents...

Thank you, Lauren, that's good advice. I'm not worried about it for a couple of reasons. It's working towards a balance throughout the hand. As the forearms tire I find an equalibrium in my hands that I had not previously. And I know the tendons in my hands and forearms well (I've severed two and popped another) as well as the limits of my wrists so I make sure to keep it in a safe zone.
