Hi, I’ve been practicing the 5 tibetans for just over a month now and have noticed they give me energy and a sense of wellbeing. I’m up to 9 repetitions. I’ve found if I feel dizzy on the spins then I just keep doing that same number of repetitions each day till I feel balanced, then progress two more spins the next day. I’ve moved up a couple too soon and found that it can make detox more severe. They have been very healing - helped balance emotions and regulated my menstrual cycle. My skin has been glowing and people have commented asking what my secret is. I have also had a few deto ...

WHAT IS TIBETAN YOGA? WHAT IS TIBETAN YOGA? Today, people think Yoga is a system of physical exercise to have good health. This is external Yoga called Hatha Yoga. Yoga in Indian traditions, however, is more than physical exercise; it has a meditative and spiritual core. It is very interesting when we study about the original meaning of Yoga. Yoga means “unifying action of body, speech and mind”. So, if any Yoga Guru does not teach fully three mentioned aspects, his disciples cannot attain the enlightenment, regarding as the lack of leg stirrup, we cannot put the pot on it to cook dish ...

Hi, I have a question for long term practitioners of the five tibetans. Would really appreciate your answer :-).

If you want to do extra yoga exercises that’s ok. Make sure you do the 5 rites exactly as shown in the original book first. They are energy exercises that balance and revive the energy centers. Any alterations may be detrimental. I see on the internet U Tube Guru’s showing how to do them and almost every time they are perverting them. They get the breathing backwards or substitute their own exercises.   [End]

I decided to look into them.

well the ultimate goal was to be the transmutation of the sex drive or urge, I understand from your post that is no longer desired.

Hi, no worry you do the rites as described regardless where you are. I teach them since 17 years and can give you more details if you want just e-mail me. For your information: The spinning has one mayor job to do: when spinning clock wise we expell (trough away) excess (negative) energy and therefore clean our energy field a bit so the other rites can balance our energy better. If you spin counterclockwise you attract energy but if your chakras are not in balance you kind of ’overload’ them, that is why we spin clock wise. An in any way: negative comment on how to do and not that var ...

hi, The rites should be done with movement and breathing in harmony. The head tilt and leg raise or hip raise and so on is always done together not one after the other. the movement should take as long as you need to breathe in deeply and when we move back to the starting position we move as long as it takes to breathe out completely. Got it? e-mail me for more details please. I teach the tibetans since 17 years and have a bit experience with them. i will include them in my website soon. check it out: http://www.dorn-method.com Blessings Thomas Zudrell   [End]

This is also my first time writing to a forum! I am a woman soon to be 35. I started doing the rites about three months ago. I travel a lot in my job and there is very little regularity in my life, still I need to be energetic and there are some demands on how I look. I thought the 5 rites would be the perfect excercise for me and my lifestyle. I have not lost weight (a little disapointed, but I haven’t changed my diet yet...) but I have an overall feeling of positivity since I started doing the rites. My energy is stronger and I am just proud that I am doing these excercises everyday.I ...

Well I did them again this morning. I deep breathed before and drank a pint of water before and after, and no ill effects. I probably did the exercises more smoothly in that I didn’t tense as much. All in all I feel pretty good now. I still find it strange that they could have inspired such a reaction in me for something so simple - because I haven’t read anywhere else of anybody getting this reaction. I know it was no coincidence that I felt lousy the first three times I tried them. They must have some strong effect on me in particular.   [End]

Thanks Ami, I’m not too good at the ’observing’ thing. Actually I’m probably getting over a big anger thing I’ve had for a few years. Thanks Mercury. I had the amalgams removed a couple of months ago, done all the detox, etc. and things are much improved. However I actually feel I’m at a stage where I need to do some mind work because I definitely don’t feel ’centred’. It seems strange to me that only doing three repetitions of each exercise can have such an effect. If this is the case then maybe I should see it as a good thing. Will try again tomorrow and remember the water thi ...

perhaps you are beginning to open blocked areas that you do not realise are linked to repressed emotions etc. It would seem that this is a great possibility. Try to clear your mind after doing the exercises, and let any subject float to the surface, ask your self Why am i feeling irritable? etc then listen to your inner self. you might be surprised at what pops up . whatever does, look at it , acknowledge it , realise that it is not a part of WHO you are now or WHO you are becomming, and so needs to be *flushed out * the more you do this inner cleanup , the more ...

Has anybody experienced a seriously bad mood after doing these? This is the third time I’ve come to do these exercises and it’s no coincidence that I seem to go into a pretty bad mood about 5 minutes after doing them. I’ve started with 3 repetitions only and I can say I find that pretty easy as I’m quite fit anyhow. So, I’m wondering if this reaction is normal? I presume not. Is it a reaction to stress or stress release or am I doing them too quickly? If anything I would have thought that these exercises should alleviate stress. Knowing me I’m making some very simple fund ...

You raise your head and your legs at the same time on exercise No. 2. When I do Exercise No. 4, I put my head back (gently) as I am starting to raise up, all in one smooth motion. Doncha just love the instructions for Exercise No. 3 where they instruct you to ”throw” the head and neck backward. Be gentle with your neck and head. I am up to 17 reps by the way.   [End]

I’m a little confused on how to do these exercises properly. The set of instructions that I have from the Internet (http://www.mkprojects.com/fa_TibetanRites.htm) says, in the text for Tibetan 2, to tuck the chin to the chest and ”[a]s you do this, lift your legs straight . . . ” But the accompanying picture has the chin tucked into the chest first and the legs lifted in a second picture. I suspect that maybe this was done so as to not have one picture that’s too busy, but I’m only guessing. Similarly, in the instructions for Tibetan 4, the text says to ”drop the head backward as far ...

I am certainly interested in hearing of your experiences with the 5 Tibetans. Do you now do the full 21 reps a day for each exercise? What kind of benefits have you gained, and when did you start feeling the benefits after you embarked on the program? Were you already in good shape, or not?   [End]

No I haven’t received any benefits because I stopped doing them! lol. About a year ago I started to do them but then I stopped. I think they became too much for me because I was increasing the repetitions by two each week, as the book says. But frankly, I think for some people, like me, that is just too much. I am going to start them again though, because then I started doing yoga, but now I’m tired of doing yoga, so I thought I’d try the Five Tibetans again. Also, I think that by doing the yoga I sort of geared myself up to do the Tibetans. I started my Tibetans routine last night ...

You are supposed to work up to 21 repetitions per rite, but it’s recommended that you start at 3 reps a day per exercise and then work your way up. Don’t overdo it or you’ll get discouraged, unless you’re already a super athlete and can start out at 21 reps per rite! You are supposed to do them in the proper order, starting with the spinning. However, if you have a lot of difficulty doing a rite or can’t handle it at all then you’re supposed to skip that and do the other rites until weeks or months later you gain strength - then you can add that rite to your routine. You must do them i ...

I’ve been doing yoga and now I’ve become bored with it and decided to go back and try to do the Five Tibetans again. However, one thing that discouraged me when I read the book is that Keldar says you must do the exercises everyday and that if you skip more than one day in a row you lose ALL the benefits y0ou ever gained! Has anyone who has been doing them regularly ever skipped more than one day in a row? If you did, did you think you had to start again at ground zero?   [End]

Sometimes the priests had to take out demoniac kings. Mostly mantras were used. Mostle the Tibetan rites are all that is necessary for physical well being.

I am new to this forum--indeed, any forum-- and would like to state for the record that I have been practicing daily for almost three years and I will swear by its benefits.

Hello! Truth is I don’t do all 21 reps straight I divide them up into groups of 5-10 reps and take a short (perhaps half a minute) break between each group, wouldn’t be able to do 21 straight! It’s the only rite I have to divide up though.   [End]

Hi Luis! Well I’m no expert I’m not even a yoga teacher but perhaps you could help your lower back problems by practicing some ”traditional” (ie. Indian or hatha) yoga, there must be classes available somewhere near you since there are classes everywhere these times. As for your feet slipping I agree with the other posts it is probably due to using the wrong surface. Try starting with just 3 repetitions and working your way up slowly, as other people said.   [End]

Hi Beryl- Chris Kilham here, author of The Five Tibetans. In the fifth rite, you stay up on your toes, in both positions. In fact, you keep your feet as high up on the toes as possible. This is how Kelder demonstrated the fifth in the original printing of his book, and how I have reproduced the methods. Take care. Chris   [End]
