Information on Yoga: The Five Tibetan Rites

The Five Tibetan Rites (also known as "The Five Tibetans", "The Five Rites", "The Five Rites of Rejuvenation" and most recently "T5T") is a system of yoga moves which are over 2,500 years old.

'The Eye of Rejuvenation' was written by Peter Kelder in 1939. It's about yoga exercises he gained information about from an old Army Colonel from Britain while he was in California, US.

He writes about the conversations he had with this officer and about what the Colonel had learned when on his missions. The information on the Rites has old knowledge about how to stay young longer, how to get great medical effects like improved vision, memory, potency, growth of hair, eliminate grey hairs, look more youthful, get the maximum and more restorative sleep and how to feel more peaceful with yourself.

Recently on TV, Bruce forsyth on Strictly Come Dancing has told he follows the Five Tibetans.

Each yoga exercise should be repeated twenty one times. If at first you can't do it this many times don't worry, try to build up to it. Place your hands on your sides and take two to three deep breaths between each rite.

Below is a quick overview of the exercises. Please be sure to check with your doctor before performing the rites and consult with a yoga teacher skilled in the rites before performing. This will help you get the correct postures and breathing for the exercises. At first you may not be able to do the exercises 21 times. Your yoga teacher will guide and give you the correct advice suited to you.

1st Yoga Rite: Stand straight up with your hands outstretched horizontally and palms facing to the floor. Start rotating clockwise focusing on a fixed point like the wall or your hand. Do this twenty one times.

2nd Yoga Rite: While lying down on a mat or a soft floor and keeping your hands flat with palms down and fingers close, raise your legs until vertical and also raise your head. Hold the position for a few seconds and then lower both your head and feet. Do this twenty one times.

3rd Yoga Rite: Kneel down on the ground with your thighs and body upright and place your hands just below your bum and your thighs for support. Then bring your chin down near your chest. Next arch your head and shoulders back as much as you can while breathing out.

4th Yoga Rite: Sit down on the floor with a yoga mat and keep your legs straight. Make sure your torso is straight up. Make sure your hands are on the floor beside your thighs and with the fingers close together. Raise the body up and also bend at your knees so between the feet and to your knees are vertical and so are from your hands to your shoulders. The torso should be horizontal between the shoulders and the knees forming a table sort of shape. Go back to your starting position.

5th Yoga Rite: Lie down on the floor - face down. Your legs should be shoulder width apart and your heels lifted so you are on your toes. Lift the torso up with your hands so your head is up fully and back is bent smoothly. This is the starting position and from here lift up the torso and buttocks so the arms and the body form a part of a triangle. The legs form the other side of the triangle. The floor is the third side of the triangle. Use the shoulders and hips as points of pivot to move between the positions. Repeat 21 times.
