I’ve been doing these daily for 3 years and have renewed my health and strength from lung disease. I’m 67 and have the youth, vitality and strength of most 45 year olds.
This guy explained these rites very well. I was very impressed. I don't think many of the audience really appreciated or grasped the beneficial affect doing these has on the mind and body, the silly presenter didn't help, thought he was a funny guy........but hey at least the guy tried to help them.
As far as tempo and speed of performance, it greatly depends on your individual unique body rhythm and system. Some go fast and some go slow. Spinning fast for myself grasps qi from my surroundings and stores it in my astral interior, much like the charging belt from the engine rapidly spun to revitalize and store volts of energy in the car’s 12 volt battery system. For myself, I changed the order of the five rights. The original book said there was an advantage to this order but any order is still okay. They are powerful but try never to miss a day. Just think of it like eating. You seldom miss a day eating food. These clean out old stagnant energy patterns in your energy field
You really are the reason the masses know about this practice. I learned it from your book Inner Power. That one single book has so many amazing practices. Thank you so much brother! Have a Blessed 2024! 🙏🏻
I have been doing this for many years off and on as im about to turn 46 in two months im going to start doing them daily, I learned about these rites from Modern Magick the wonderful book on Ceremonial Magick by the late DMK.
I have most trouble with #4. I feel like I need blocks or something under my hands. Maybe my arms are too short! I found these many decades ago and practiced them now and then, but when i was younger they didn't feel like "serious" exercise. Now I'm 70 and I've started again, and I can really see how much I need them.
#4 is probably the hardest for most people. And yes arm length can make a difference. If you can, practice in the first position of #4, pushing your butt up off the ground. Try not to drag. Slow practice of thismayhelp you to achib=ve it more easily. Best to you.
I've done these...inconsistently,,,,for over 25 years...from Peters book.....Medicine Hunter has it most accurate...there are some tweaks people, myself included, may interpret...but THIS video sums them up the best imho...coming from a dance and yoga background along with cross country running-hiking....as we age...this is a MUST
Me too moze, but I started around 1986ish when I read the Peter Kelder book. The 5th one seems to really help with my T-11 compressed vertebrae injury! I've had that since Dec. 20th, 1996. They are amazing exercises that help me be sickness free since 1986! (I'm also 37 years vegan). I started with 21 reps, but have been doing 24 reps for about a year now. (I do 50 reps spinning).
I did these exercices for years (9 repetitions only in place of 21 because it was so painful for my neck and upper back). I eventually had to stop because of that constant day-long neck pain. I've resumed a few weeks ago but not bending my neck anymore in 2,3 and 4. And I get only the energy, not the neck pain, and feel I can soon make more. But it's not really the rites anymore.... Any piece of advice would be welcome.

Funny most of the people advocating five Tibetan rites forget that in fourth rite at the top of the body one has to SQEEZE the body. I don’t see anyone talking about it.
Hi- Peter Kelder introduced these in 1935 and mentions no such thing. If we are going to practice correctly then his directions are the best we have. Anything additional is somebody else's idea. Take care.
I am facing some difficulties while performing fifth rite of five Tibetans, I wanted to know whether our gaze or head position should be towards ceiling or in front during upward dog . The incorrect posture during the fifth rite is doing more harm than any good
Actually, I have the only anatomically correct drawings from Peter Keller, not the stick figures everyone uses. In the 5th Tibetan, legs are apart, you remain up on balls of feet the whole time. It is not downward dog at all. If we are going to practice correctly, then Kelder's original drawings are what we have to go by. In other words we followed the originals to the letter.
@@chriskilham Ah, I stand corrected. You’re right. I just checked the Keller illustrations and realize that I’ve been doing this incorrectly for a long time now! I was taught years ago (in Asia, by a master) to keep feet flat. Thank you for your comment and correction!
Thank you Chris. I’ve debated the lady, her name escapes me, from Australia I believe, that sells a teacher training course on the Rites. Of course she’s a yoga teacher so she says it was just due to Kelder being inflexible. She also didn’t know the kidney point is in the middle of the foot and I tried to explain to her that it was stretching/activating that point by keeping the heel up. She also “regulates” the wiki page and there’s zero mention of you. Smh. 🙏🏻
Thankfully my Five Tibetans is in 28 languages, so the correct way as described by Kelley is getting out there. I named the Five Rites of rejuvenation The Five Tibetans. It's all good, transmission of teachings that benefit many. I yearn for no turf, just passing on some amazing wisdom.It's pure grace that I wound up knowing these. I have practiced The Five Tibetans daily for 45 years and believe that they really do enhance overall vitality and energy. Blessings.@@m.b.593
@@chriskilhamI do have to ask why you don’t tense the body in Rites 4 and 5? I’ve never seen anyone mention this and I started to think I made it up myself having not read Kelder’s book in 30 yrs but I just got a copy and it does indeed say to tense the body in the upward table top position of Rite 4 and again briefly at the top and bottom positions of Rite 5. Thanks for replying Chris. 🙏🏻
Please do these very slow! They are not calisthenics. Watch the original person who brought these direct from her time with the Tibetan monks in Tibet. Ellen Wood.. “How to grow younger the 5 Tibetan rites.”TH-cam She healed several illnesses and looks many years younger than she is.
There are medical explanations for each pose. If you don't like the Buddhist interpretation of the chakra balancing, know that there are also medical explanations for these areas (the endocrine system). I'm a Christian and I believe all truth is God's truth. And God loves Buddhists just as much.

Same here my arms seem to be a little too short I struggle with this one
I ended up getting a couple of yoga blocks for this one, to put my hands on.

I did for a good while...then fell out of habit/./..//.I could tell a difference at the time....that one....well.....@@ZNX05
the feet are to be curled toes towards your body, not stretched outwards.
No
@@johnraina4828 Yes
@@randolphpinkle4482 ok
Which Rite are you referring to?
all except the 1st@@m.b.593

Just fantastic. Been doing them for three decades. But I need to know about the sixth Rite. Any information.

Christopher Kilham has a book about the five Tibetans and it does show how to do the 6th Tibetan too. It's a good read.
@@Elstuderino Yes, I got the book. Thanks.
I have knee replacement just recently. Please explain how to do the floor exercises with knee replacement.
Carefully ...but doable.

@@chriskilhamI mist have a bastardized version then because mine says there’s an isometric squeeze at the top of Rite 4. Wow, interesting. 🙏🏻
@@m.b.593 Same. I always do the squeeze
I think the rotation should be equally 3,5,7 .etc. Check out other movies
No precautions or contraindications given.
It's one of the first times, I see the fifth rite done as in the original book of Peter Kelder. Most people today has replaced it with a downward dog.
👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙏🪷💜

When you are in the lower position your head is up toward the sky. When you are in the higher position your chin is tucked into your chest. Stay safe.
How can I contact you ?
@@chriskilham Thanx Chris! The last 3 of these rites require stretching the neck up which prevents double chin syndrome!
The sound quality is appalling.
Do you also turn clockwise if you are in the Southern Hemisphere, South Africa? There seem to be different opinions about this on the web 🤔
Earth is FLAT so it doesn't matter! NOBODY ever PROVED the spinning ball NONSENSE! Nobody has ever seen a curve either! (in REAL life)
@@francois1461 Thanks for the reply, I am left-handed 😄
@@mr.blackhawk142 I`m obviously clueless - hence the question. Thank you for the reply 🙂
No but relly it is flat has allways been. But ye The body is a personal arc of horizon we allways spin The same way no matte where we are ❤
You're supposed to look right on the first one

He did the last one incorrectly. Also, too fast, which is a common western mistake.
