The 5 Tibetan Rituals, also called the 5 Tibetan Rites were detailed in Peter Kelder’s Book The Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth published in 1985. This book discussed the exercise program developed by Tibetan monks and made them look young for years and live long and healthy lives.

These exercises are said to be responsible for several benefits including looking younger, sleeping more soundly at night, waking up in the morning and feeling ready to go, and relief from chronic pain. Some of the other things that are possible is an improved memory, arthritis relief, better vision, reduction of wrinkles, more strength and endurance, and better emotional and mental health.

Tibetans believe in seven major chakras that develop good health for the body and mind. These chakras make the endocrine system function properly stimulating the glands so that everything works well. If this system works well all the other organs in the body will continue to function properly and the body will be healthy.

The seven major chakras are the root (base of the spine), sacral (navel), solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye (center of forehead), and crown (top of the head). The chakras are linked together with all other systems in the body. The speed in which the chakra spins is relevant to vibrant health so they must spin fast. They must also spin in coordination with each other so it creates harmony within the body. Therefore if the heart chakra isn’t spinning as well as the rest of the chakras you may have a heart problem. If the root isn’t spinning well you can have spine related difficulties and if the sacral chakra is out of kilter the stomach may be an issue. All must spin relatively the same in order to achieve harmony.

The five exercises or rituals consist of spinning movements, being on the knees, lying on the ground, lifting the legs or arms or lifting the whole body up on the arms and legs. Some are relatively simple from spinning in place with arms out to lifting the body with arms and legs from a lying position. Some may be impossible for some people in less than good health to do. It is a good idea to check with a doctor before starting them and only doing what you can until you can do more. These are considered Yoga exercises so find a yoga instructor that can help you with them at first. The exercises should be started at only three at a time and never should they be done more than 21 at a time each exercise. They take ten to 20 minutes to complete the entire regimen.

Also be aware that some detoxification may happen when these exercises are done. The chakras are being cleansed and there may be some unpleasant after effects. Your intestines may be emptied, you may sweat a bit with some odor, and you may experience some flu like symptoms. These are extreme cases and probably won’t affect a healthy person. All in all the Five Tibetan Rituals will keep you healthy and young looking for a long time.
