The Five Tibetan Rites: Exercises for Healing, Rejuvenation, and Longevity
I have had a few people ask me lately about the Tibetan Rites, as I have mentioned that I am combining them with three challenges: 200 Squats, 100 Push Ups, 200 Sit-Ups
If you’re curious about the Five Tibetan Rites, there is an easy print version you can take a look at and print off. It’s not that many pages, so it shouldn’t be a big deal.
You can read about the background of the Rites, but most people want to know the benefits…
“Potential Benefits of the Five Rites
The authors provide many examples of the benefits of the “Five Tibetan Rites” including 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.”
Personally, the first thing I noticed when I started doing the Tibetan Rites was the fact I wasn’t cracking and popping so much. My back, my right wrist and my right knee seem to pop all the time and sometimes get sore to the point I need to ‘pop’ them. Not anymore. The Tibetan Rites took care of that within a few days.
I’m not sure about some of those claims, but I do feel more peaceful and better in a general way when I am doing the exercises. It feels like they are ‘just right’ for starting my day off well.
Whether it’s helping me with the weight loss, it probably is. I use muscles I probably wouldn’t use all that much doing them. And keep in mind that all this is happening for me, and I’m still on the alternate techniques because I don’t quite feel up to the full techniques yet.
If you start using the Tibetan Rites, please let me know. I’d love to get other people’s opinions on it.

I never really got “into” them… I think they’re probably good exercise, but I’m not there in my head right now!

Hanlie - I can see why it wouldn’t work for some people. For me, it slows me down and gives me some peace for a while.
Jenera - I hope you like it.
