Go to: Previous Article Next Article
The Five Tibetan Rites has many names including "The Five Tibetans", "The Five Rites", "The Five Rites of Rejuvenation" and more recently known as "T5T". They are a system of yoga exercises which are older than 2500 years.
'The Eye of Rejuvenation' was written in 1939 by Peter Kelder. It's about yoga exercises he gained information about from an Army Colonel from Britain while he was in California.
In the book he writes about the chats he had with this Colonel and about what the Colonel had learned while he was abroad in the Army. The yoga exercises had secrets to keeping young, getting great health benefits like greater eyesight, memory, potency, hair growth, less grey hairs, youthful looks, better sleep and inner peace.
Between each exercise make sure you stand up and place your hands on your hips. Then take two or three deep breaths. Each rite should be repeated twenty one times.
If thinking about performing the rites please check with your doctor or relevant health practitioner before doing them as well as a skilled yoga teacher. This will keep you in performing the right postures and body positions as well as correct breathing. You may not be able to repeat the yoga exercises twenty one times. A yoga teacher or guru will help and guide you with the correct information for yourself. Please see the summary of the rites below.
First Rite - Stand upright with your arms out horizontally and your palms facing down. Spin from left to right (clockwise) 21 times focusing on a fixed point (i.e. your hand). Second Rite - Lie down on a yoga mat. Keep your hands flat and palms down. Your fingers should be close together. Raise the feet until the legs are straight up. At the same time raise the head. Hold position for a short moment and then lower feet and head. Repeat 21 times. Third Rite - Kneel on the ground with your thighs and torso upright and place your hands on your thighs just below your buttocks for support. Now bring your chin down to your chest. Now the next movement is to arch your head and shoulders back as far as you can while exhaling. Fourth Rite - it on a yoga mat on the floor with your legs straight. Make sure your body is straight up. Put your hands flat on the floor next to your thighs with fingers together. You now have to raise the body up and at the same time bend the knees so the feet to the knees are straight up and so are the arms. The body from the shoulders to the knees will be horizontal forming a 'table' shape. Return to original position. Fifth Rite - Lie face down on the floor. Keep your legs shoulder width apart and lift your heels so the weight of your legs is on your toes. Lift your body up with your hands, your head up and your back is bent. From this starting position, lift your body and buttocks up so that your arms and body form one side of a triangle and your legs form another side of the triangle. The floor will form the third side. Use your shoulders and hips as pivot points to move between positions. Do this exercise 21 times.
