5 Tibetan Rites: Exercises for Healing, Rejuvenation and Longevity

I would like to share an exercise program which I started seriousliy about a year ago when I was living in Dubai.  Teaching Creative Movement to children in different schools, Yoga and Dance to adults and being a single mum meant I had very little time to myself.  When you teach yoga, although you are demonstraiting and actually doing the poses for your students, you aren´t PRESENT in the poses, you are a teacher making sure everyone has the proper posture and breath and also correcting.  So I really had to find time for myself first thing in the morning so I could tune in physically and mentally.  I started to practise the 5 Tibetan Rites regularly every day.  AFter a week, everyone commented on my sprkling eyes and on my skin, and after 2 weeks I couldn´t believe my energy level and physical body strength.  I continue to practise the 5 Tibetan Rites and I teach these in my Yoga classes as well.  

In 1985 a book called The Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth written by Peter Kelder was published which for the first time fully described an exercise program for "youthing". This is an exercise program used by Tibetan monks to live long, vibrant and healthy lives. In fact, this book states that many have lived longer than most can imagine by following the program often called the "Five Tibetan Rites". The Tibetans claim that these exercises activate and stimulate the seven key chakras that in turn stimulate all the glands of the endocrine system. The endocrine system is responsible for the body's overall functioning and aging process. This means that the Five Rites will affect the functioning of all your organs and systems, including the physical and energetic systems and that includes the aging process. The man who brought these Five Rights out of Tibet stated that "performing the Five Rites stimulates the circulation of essential life energy throughout the body".

Some benefits of the "Five Tibetan Rites"  include the following: looking much younger; sleeping soundly; waking up feeling refreshed and energetic; release from serious medical problems including difficulties with spines; relief from problems with joints; release from pain; better memory; arthritis relief; weight loss; improved vision; youthing instead of aging; greatly improved physical strength, endurance and vigor; improved emotional and mental health; enhanced sense of well being and harmony; and very high overall energy.

Chakra is an Indian Sanskrit word that translates to mean "Wheel of Spinning Energy". Chakras are spinning wheels or vortexes of energy of different colours that perform many functions connecting our energy fields, bodies and the Cosmic Energy Field. Chakras are powerful electrical and magnetic fields. Chakras govern the endocrine system that in turn regulates all of the body's functions including the ageing process. Energy flows from the Universal Energy Field through the chakras into the energy systems within our bodies, including the Meridian System.

The major chakras are located at the base of the spine (Root Chakra), at the navel (Sacral Chakra), in the solar plexus (Solar Plexus Chakra), within your heart (Heart Chakra), within the throat (Throat Chakra), at the center of your forehead (Brow or Third Eye Chakra), and at the top of your head (Crown Chakra). The aura could also be included as the eighth chakra. These chakras are linked together with all other energy systems in the body and various layers of the auras. The Speed of the chakra spin is a key to vibrant health. The other keys to vibrant health that relates to the chakra is ensuring they are clear of negative energy and that they are perfectly shaped and not distorted. The Five Rites speed up the spinning of the chakras, coordinate their spin so they are in complete harmony, distribute pure prana energy to the endocrine system, and in turn to all organs and processes in the body. This is one of the major requirements for vibrant health, rejuvenation and youthfulness.

I recorded the following videos of the 5 Tibetan Rites at my Yoga and Spirit Dance studio in Granada, Spain.  My base is now in Granada, Spain, and I travel teaching workshops in different cities.  Sorry about the poor lighting, it didn´t seem this dark when I recorded, but I guess the next time I shoot videos I will have to put on a very strong light.  Hope you enjoy and feel free to ask question or make comments.  My email is: anaoteroyoga@gmail.com
