five rites

Remember spinning in circles as a child?  Well, all that practice finally has purpose.  For the last few months, I have added the five tibetan rites to my yoga practice.  They work on restoring balance to the vortexes within our bodies.  The rituals take only ten minutes, but I feel as though it's ten cups of a clean coffee buzz for the rest of the day.  Information and instructions are easily found through books and internet--Look for the original book,  Ancient Secret of the The Fountain of Youth by Peter Kelder for images of the poses and the very interesting story of how these secret rites became public knowledge.  As I'm always looking for wonderfully flakey titles--
As the Flower Sheds It's Fragrance-has to be one of the best so far.  Actually it's a fascinating account of Mataji, who had a strong following during WWII.  May we all lead our lives shedding our fragrances.
With Blessings.
