Tonight, for the first time since my back issues "reactivated," I put on my full iaido uniform for training—gi, hakama, kaku obi. I also worked with both swords on drills—shita / 舌, my iaito, on various draws, and ago / 顎, my suburito, on various exercises and movements.
I've also been working on using qigong techniques to push the nerve pain in my limbs back into my hara (dantian or belly, the root of my qi, my energy) or into my sword.
Slow and steady is the way of the warrior this evening.
