Dear Thinkfirst, I am sure all are very gratefull for your concern.
However, I have NEVER done any sports or fysical discipline, am sixty of age, and started on 5T on the 2nd of this month with only one rep per rite, I'm up to nine now. My efforts still look only like a vague shadow of the demonstration by Suzanne Barry on http://www.yogaway.fsnet.co.uk/5tibetans.htm , and these images, are my only source of information up till now, as I am undecided as to wich book I should buy for the minimum of mistyfication and the maximum of authenticity. In the meantime I am astonished that I was able to do the 5T rites at all, I have been a regular client of chiropractors and ostheopaths since I was 25! I think they'll miss me.
More on results: I get more supple every day, feel more decided, calmer and even more vigourous. My formerly always painfull neck and lower back feel great! They have healed, imagine! My wife, who as a registred nurse does not easily attest to the merits of ANY method, enthousiastically states that I have simply begun to look very, very good, and that the long lost youthfull beam in my eyes has returned!
Certaily we have to be careful exercising ( no wild animal, even in panic will make a jerky movement ) but also we should avoid modifications, wherever or however 5T originated, I suspect the energetic rationale that underlies 5T, may be disrupted or nullified if the original form is not respected. And 5T works so well when left in its integrity, even when practised by such a stumbling student as I.
Anyway, folks out there, wich book gives an integrated vieuw of execution and energetic (chacra) structure of 5T ? And what do we really now about 5T's origins ? Please tell all of us, and do not hesitate to e-mail me. Edward.
