Even if only a part of above aims is achieved, the impact of these exercises seems to extend
far beyond their physical benefits.
The most important in all Tibetan exercises described below seems to be a conscious syn-
chronisation of breathing with physical activity. For best results, I strongly advise anyone
to practice basic 4 stage breathing techniques ( inhale, hold, exhale, hold empty lungs) be-
fore trying Tibetan Rites.
The other important advice, passed on by ancient Lamas and verified by modern medical
science is that no exercise at any stage should be too intense or make us feel exhausted.
This advice applies not only to The Five Tibetan Rites presented below, but to any physi-
cal exercise.
If the intensity of the exercise is excessive, not only such exercise is not beneficial, but
may even be harmful. If you are "loosing your breath" for example, it is a sign that the
body has entered an anaerobic (low oxygen) emergency mode of operation and it is a fair
warning from your body and mind that you should slow down.
One method of assessing the right level of physical activity for you is to observe your pulse
rate. If it exceeds 90-100 - you should slow down. Another good gauge is this: if you feel
comfortable continuing the exercise (Tibetan, yoga, jogging, walking, skating, roller skat-
ing, tennis etc.) over long periods of time without strain, this level of activity is right for
you. Note, that with training you can increase the intensity of exercise. After exercising at

getic and, most importantly, have clearer, sharper mind. We should enjoy whatever we do,
shouldn't we?
Applying the above advice to Five Tibetan Rites, you should not get too enthusiastic about
overdoing them. Although they are very simple, the main emphasis should be on
breath synchronisation and fluency, rather than on speed and/or number of
repetitions.
Tibetan Lamas recommend starting with 3 repeats and gradually building strength and
skill to reach 21 repeats. Performing more than 21 repeats, according to Lamas, is redun-
dant and therefore not necessary.
All motions in the following Five Tibetan Rites need to be fluent, with depicted positions
held between the motions as shown in the following diagrams. Please note breathing
phases.

Tibetan #2
Start stretched on your back with your hands along the body, palms of your
hands on the floor, fingers together. Raise your head and legs gradually
while breathing in. Your legs should be straight, straighten them as much as
you can. Tuck your chin against the chest. After holding the position with
raised legs and head, lower them gradually while breathing out. Then relax
your muscles before repeating the cycle. Keep a breathing rhythm so that all
four phases of this exercise are approximately of the same duration. If you
need to miss a cycle because you need a rest, keep breathing in the same
rhythm and wait for the entire breathing cycle before starting again.
Maintaining the rhythm is important.
Tibetan #3
Kneel on the floor, hands on thigh muscles. Tuck the chin against the chest,
breathing out. Then arch back as far as you can bracing your arms against
your thighs while breathing in. When you return to the original position,
breathe out, relax and start the cycle over again.
Lamas practice this exercise with eyes closed, focusing inward for best
effect.

Tibetan #4
Start sitting down on the floor, legs straight, feet 30 cm (12 inches) apart,
palms of your hands on the floor alongside your buttocks. Tuck the chin
against your chest, breathing out.
Then arch your head back and lift your body so that the knees bend and
your arms remain straight while breathing in. Aim to achieve the horizontal
position of the body as indicated in the figure above and maintain it by
tensing every muscle in your body. Then exhale while returning to the origi-
nal sitting position. Your hands and feet should remain at the same location
on the floor. Relax with your chin down and start the cycle over again.
This exercise may seem to be initially more difficult than others. If you can-
not do it at first, continue with other exercises, trying your best with this
one every time. Gradually, Tibetan #4 should become as easy as others.
Keep a breathing rhythm so that all four phases of this exercise are approxi-
mately of the same duration.
Tibetan #5
In this exercise hands and feet should be spaced slightly wider than your
shoulders.
While breathing in and keeping your legs and arms straight, raise your body
as high as you can, as depicted above. Then breathe out returning to the
original position. Tense your muscles at each position.
Keep a breathing rhythm so that all four phases of this exercise are approxi-
mately of the same duration.
The purpose of the Tibetan #6 exercise is to redirect the excess of sexual and reproductive
energy, generated by the activity of the base chakra to all higher chakras along the spine,
especially to the brow chakra, which activity is related to our spiritual awareness and psy-
chic abilities. According to Lamas this exercise should be practiced only when the excess
of the sexual urge is experienced, otherwise this exercise does more harm than good,
by draining the energy from the base chakra.
By systematically practising the first five Tibetan exercises it is quite possible to raise the
energy of the base chakra so much, that the sexual urge appears and needs to be dealt
with. This can happen at any age.
One way to handle the situation is to dissipate this powerful energy in sexual activities.
The Tibetan alternative is to transmute it to higher use, to accelerate our spiritual devel-
opment and rejuvenate the body. Instead of dissipating the reproductive energy you can
use it to regenerate cells in your entire body. The choice is yours, you have the free will, as
always.
In my opinion, sexual activity without sincere love and a spiritually matched partner is
like going to a forest and not seeing trees. Or enrolling at a University just to have lunch in
the canteen.
Sexual love should be a spiritual union, bringing experiences and sensations far more pro-
found, pleasurable, longer lasting and beneficial than just a physical act of relief (see The
Book).
In the absence of a perfect partner, Tibetan Lamas offer us the alternative, verified over
many thousands of years to be not only effective, but also very beneficial to our health,

longevity, bio-energy level and most importantly to our spiritual development. They do
not try to suppress the powerful energy of the base chakra. Such suppression is destined
to fail, much as any act against the Nature. They offer an efficient way to transmute it for
the higher purpose.
Tibetan #6 differs in many ways from all of the previously described Tibetan exercises.
Firstly, it is one of the easiest to perform from the physical body motion point of view, not
requiring any diagram. Secondly, it involves a special breath control, requiring a pro-
longed holding of the breath, rather than breathing rhythmically. The third difference is
that after each cycle of Tibetan #6 several cycles of deep breathing are required. Another
difference is that no more than three repeats are recommended for most people.
