Five Tibetan Rites Of Rejuvenation


The five Tibetan rites of rejuvenation are said to be a set of precise exercises that have been in existence for well over two thousand years. They were made popular in 1939 by an author named Peter Kelder who published a booket explaining the exercises in detail, including illustrations to help people perform them.

Since that time, a lot of people have been using these exercises on a regular basis including famous actors such as Martin Sheen. Obviously Hollywood actors have a vested interest in keeping their looks as long as possible because this tends to help their careers.

The general idea behind the Tibetan exercises is that you need to balance the energy or "chi" in your body and they are designed to help encourage your body to keep itself in balance and check. A lot of people see these rituals as being the precursor to modern day yoga techniques and there is a great deal of similarity in a lot of instances.

The rejuvenation claims are obviously open to doubt - it's difficult to do control studies as you can't split one person in two to rule out the differences between people - but since the exercises themselves are easy to perform and require no special equipment, it's not really difficult to try them out for yourself. You should follow a detailed set of instructions and check with your doctor before performing this kind of exercise.

The first exercise involves standing upright with your arms stretched out and spinning in a clockwise direction.

The second exercise involves laying down flat and then raising your legs as high as possible into the air.

The third exercise involves kneeling down and stretching forward, ideally until your head rests on your chest.

The fourth exercise involves sitting down with your legs stretched out in front of you and then doing a kind of sit-up manoeuvre.

The fifth exercise is kind of an inverse of the fourth one with you facing the floor and raising your body as high up as possible.

All the exercises involve a series of repetitions which increase as your body begins to get used to them, much the same way as any other exercise regime involves a gradual build up rather than launching straight in to the full workout before your body is used to it.

A lot of people have reported genuine and lasting improvement from carrying out these Tibetan rites of rejuvenation.
