A Practice for Growing Younger That Really Works!

One of my greatest secrets for youthfulness is The Five Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation. These 2500-year-old physical movements were designed to make you grow younger and they really work!

No, I don’t look younger, but the early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disappeared, I have tons more energy and I’m very healthy at 83.

It was in southern California in the early 1930s when Peter Kelder met ‘Colonel Bradford,’ an old, retired British army colonel who told Kelder an amazing story. While stationed in India in the early 1900s, Colonel Bradford had heard rumors of Tibetan monks who had learned to reverse the effects of aging.

Years later when Kelder met the colonel again, he could hardly believe his eyes. Despite his advanced years, Bradford appeared to be a youthful man. Colonel Bradford told Kelder he had searched for and found the monks’ Tibetan monastery. There he had learned the Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation and began practicing them. Kelder was so astonished to see Bradford’s youthfulness that he learned the Rites and in 1939, brought this monastic Tibetan wisdom to the Western world with the publication of his book, The Eye of Revelation. In 1985 Harbor Press renamed and published Kelder’s book as The Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth.

Known as The Five Tibetans, these Rites had been kept secret in Himalayan monasteries for centuries because they were considered to be a path to higher consciousness, with side benefits of physical strength, vitality, youthfulness and virility. Only men were allowed to learn and perform these physical movements back then.

The Five Tibetans are performed daily as a moving meditation with the intention of altering the practitioner’s mind/body energy. Though physical, the Rites are not a fitness regimen – this practice was designed to align the energetic field to support rejuvenation and spiritual, holistic wellbeing. Today, men and women all over the world are practicing the Rites and reaping the benefits.

I have been practicing the Rites daily since 2004, and was happy to learn in 2010 of a new edition of Kelder’s book, The Eye of Revelation: The Ancient Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation, edited by J.W. Watt and published in 2008. It gives greater details about the correct way to perform these Rites.

As Watt remarks in his introduction, “There is something very mysterious about the ancient Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation: they work – against all odds they actually work. We don’t know how, we don’t know why; but we truly believe that anyone giving the Rites a fair trial will meet with surprising success.” I highly recommend that you explore this resource and The Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth if you want to learn more about The Five Tibetans.

Before 2004 I had never been athletic or gone in much for exercise of any kind, but I’ve become a passionate advocate for the Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation – because they really work!

I’ve posted a brief video in which I show the correct way to do the five primary exercises. You can watch it by  scrolling down to the third video on this home page. If you don’t already practice yoga or something similar, I suggest you first get your doctor’s permission.

Love and Blessings,

Ellen
