Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth

1. The Five Tibetan Rites: Ancient exercises for youth and vitality

"The quickest way to regain youth, health, and vitality is to start these energy centers spinning normally again."

Energy vortexes and aging. The body contains seven energy vortexes, corresponding to the seven chakras in Hindu tradition. These vortexes govern the endocrine system and regulate bodily functions, including the aging process. As we age, these vortexes slow down, leading to physical deterioration and energy blockages.

Tibetan secret to youth. The Five Tibetan Rites are a series of simple exercises designed to speed up these vortexes, promoting health, vitality, and a more youthful appearance. These rites were discovered by Colonel Bradford in a remote Himalayan monastery, where he observed monks who appeared decades younger than their actual age.

Practice guidelines:

• Begin with 3 repetitions of each rite daily
• Increase by 2 repetitions each week
• Aim for 21 repetitions of each rite daily after 10 weeks
• Perform the rites either in the morning or evening
• Consistency is key - practice daily for best results

2. Rite 1: Spinning for energy vortex activation

"All that you do is stand erect with arms outstretched, horizontal to the floor. Now, without wandering from the spot you are in, slowly spin around until you become slightly dizzy."

Technique: Stand with arms outstretched horizontally, palms facing down. Spin clockwise until slightly dizzy.

Benefits:

• Activates all seven energy vortexes
• Improves balance and coordination
• Increases energy and alertness

Tips for reducing dizziness:

• Focus on a single point ahead before spinning
• Turn head quickly to refocus on the point during rotation
• Start with fewer spins and gradually increase
• Practice in a well-ventilated area

3. Rite 2: Leg raises for strengthening and balance

"Once you have stretched out flat on your back, fully extend your arms along your sides and place the palms of your hands against the floor, keeping your fingers close together."

Technique: Lie flat on your back, arms at sides with palms down. Raise your head, tucking chin to chest, while simultaneously lifting your legs straight up. Lower both head and legs to starting position.

Benefits:

• Strengthens abdominal and leg muscles
• Improves core stability and balance
• Stimulates the second and third energy vortexes

Breathing pattern:

• Inhale deeply while lifting head and legs
• Exhale fully while lowering them
• Continue rhythmic breathing between repetitions

4. Rite 3: Kneeling backbend for spinal flexibility

"Now, incline your head and neck forward, tucking your chin against your chest. Then gently move your head and neck backward as far as they will go, and at the same time lean backward, arching the spine."

Technique: Kneel on the floor with hands on thighs. Tuck chin to chest, then arch back, moving head backward as far as comfortable. Return to starting position.

Benefits:

• Increases spinal flexibility
• Stimulates the fifth (throat) vortex
• Improves posture and reduces back pain

Focus on breath:

• Inhale deeply while arching backward
• Exhale while returning to starting position
• Maintain slow, controlled movements

5. Rite 4: Tabletop pose for core and upper body strength

"Now let your head sink backward as far as it will go. At the same time, raise your body so that your knees bend while your arms remain straight."

Technique: Sit on the floor with legs extended, hands placed beside hips. Drop head back, then raise your body into a tabletop position, knees bent and arms straight. Tense all muscles, then relax and lower to starting position.

Benefits:

• Strengthens arms, shoulders, and core
• Stimulates the fourth (heart) vortex
• Improves overall body awareness and control

Key points:

• Keep arms straight throughout the movement
• Engage core muscles for stability
• Progress gradually if unable to achieve full position initially

6. Rite 5: Downward-Upward dog for full-body rejuvenation

"Start with your arms straight, perpendicular to the floor, and your spine arched, so that your body is in a sagging position. Now gently move your head backward as far as possible. Then, bending at the hips, bring your body up into an inverted V position."

Technique: Begin in a push-up position with arms straight. Lower into a sagging position, arching spine and moving head back. Then, lift hips to form an inverted V (downward dog), tucking chin to chest.

Benefits:

• Stretches and strengthens entire body
• Stimulates all seven vortexes
• Improves circulation and spinal flexibility

Breathing and muscle engagement:

• Inhale deeply while lowering into the sagging position
• Exhale fully while lifting into the inverted V
• Tense muscles briefly at both the high and low points of the movement

7. Rite 6: Breath control for sexual energy transmutation

"In order to become a superman or superwoman, this powerful life force must be conserved and turned upward, so that it can be utilized by all of the vortexes, especially the seventh."

Technique: Stand straight, exhale completely while bending forward. Return to standing, place hands on hips, raise shoulders, pull in abdomen, and hold breath as long as comfortable. Inhale through the nose when necessary, then exhale through the mouth.

Benefits:

• Redirects sexual energy to higher energy centers
• Increases overall vitality and mental clarity
• Promotes spiritual growth and higher consciousness

Important considerations:

• Practice only when feeling excess sexual energy
• Requires a genuine desire for spiritual transformation
• Not recommended for those unprepared for celibacy

8. Rite 7: OM chanting for higher consciousness

"When it is intoned correctly, its vibratory frequency has a very powerful stimulating effect on the pineal gland, which is related to the seventh and highest vortex."

Technique: Sit or stand comfortably with an erect spine. Take a deep breath and intone "OM" as follows:

• "Oh-h-h" for about 5 seconds (jaw open, lips rounded)
• "M-m-m-m-m-m" for about 10 seconds (lips closed, tongue relaxed)

Benefits:

• Stimulates the pineal gland and seventh vortex
• Raises overall vibrational frequency
• Promotes spiritual awakening and inner peace

Precautions:

• Not recommended for those under 21 or using habit-forming substances
• Start with no more than 10 repetitions per day
• Combine with a healthy diet and increased water intake

9. Proper diet and mastication for optimal health

"The right foods, the right combinations of food, the right amounts of food, and the right method of eating combine to produce wonderful results."

Key dietary principles:

• Avoid combining starches and proteins in the same meal
• Eat mostly one type of food per meal for optimal digestion
• Chew food thoroughly to aid digestion and nutrient absorption
• Consume raw egg yolks daily for brain and nervous system health

Benefits of proper eating:

• Improved digestion and nutrient absorption
• Increased energy and vitality
• Natural weight regulation
• Enhanced overall health and longevity

Practical tips:

• Simplify meals by reducing the variety of foods eaten together
• Increase water intake gradually to about 3 quarts daily
• Practice mindful eating, focusing on thorough mastication
• Listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues

10. The power of mental attitude in reversing aging

"If you are able to see yourself as young, in spite of your age, others will see you that way too."

Mindset matters. Your mental attitude plays a crucial role in the aging process. By cultivating a youthful mindset and eliminating the attitudes and mannerisms associated with old age, you can significantly impact your physical appearance and vitality.

Practical steps for a youthful mindset:

• Visualize yourself at your prime, regardless of your current age
• Maintain good posture: stand straight, chest out, head high
• Walk with purpose and energy, avoiding shuffling or hesitation
• Engage in activities that challenge your mind and body
• Cultivate curiosity and a willingness to learn new things

The power of belief. Embrace the idea that rejuvenation is not only possible but certain. By combining this belief with the practice of the Five Tibetan Rites and a youthful mindset, you create a powerful synergy for reversing the aging process.

11. Using mantras to shape your reality

"Because it is an instrument of thought, a mantram is a tool which you can use to help shape your life as you wish it to be."

Harnessing thought energy. The superconscious mind transforms thought patterns into physical reality. By using mantras, you can unify your thoughts and align them with your deepest desires, effectively shaping your life experiences.

Creating an effective mantra:

1. Identify your fundamental goals and desired rewards
2. Summarize these goals in a brief, positive command
3. Use clear, meaningful language that resonates with you
4. Include words like "power" for vitality and "right now" for immediacy

Implementing your mantra:

• Speak it aloud with conviction before sleep and upon waking
• Repeat it throughout the day, especially when facing mirrors
• Use it to counteract negative thoughts or self-talk
• Revise your mantra as your goals and priorities evolve

Combining mantras with OM chanting: For enhanced effects, use a silent mantra while intoning the "M-m-m-m-m-m" part of the OM chant, focusing on your fundamental goals and desires.
