Kilham brings to The Five Tibetans nicely written chapters about kundalini, the chakras and an especially insightful instruction on the role of breathing while doing each rite. Excellent and recommended. -- Hinduism Today
Book Description
Regular practice of these postures relieves muscular tension and nervous stress, improves respiration and digestion, benefits the cardiovascular system, leads to deep relaxation and well-being, and tunes and energizes the chakras.
The Five Tibetans are explained within the context of traditional yoga, providing a foundation for understanding.
Black-and-white photographs and illustrations complement the text and clearly indicate the proper execution of each exercise.

Best 15 minutes spent either horizontally or vertically,

This review is from: Five Tibetans (Paperback)
I am familiar with the benefits of Tai-Chi, Qi-Gong, Meditation, Martial Arts, etc. Most take a couple of years of training, and 1-3 hours a day of practice to achieve the health benefits that these 6 exercises will give in 10-15 minutes a day, and you'll start feeling the benefit nearly immediately. At least I did. I'm 48 and due to various debilities can't lift weights or do violent exercises any more. I've done the rites now for about 8 months and I can move pretty much pain free and rapidly. I've benefited mentally and physically vastly out of proportion to the apparent simplicity and brevity of these exercises. I bugged my 70's something dad to try them, and once he found out how much his energy and strength levels improved, he now does the rites daily. Mom is still trying to figure out what's going on, but even she's impressed with dad's increased energy levels. Remember, they will improve your physical and mental condition, but the rites are not a cure-all. Buy the book(s) and try them anyway.

My Seven Chakras Thank You!,
By D. Mikels "It's always Happy Hour here" (Skunk Holler) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Five Tibetans (Paperback)
Long ago I discarded weightlifting and running to become a full-time couch potato. The reason: I very quickly become bored with the repetition of exercise--any exercise. I'd rather watch Fox News girls than sweat through curls anyway, so my motivation to resume physical activity was zilch.Then, via the magic of the Internet, I heard about THE FIVE TIBETANS, and I bought this slim and trim volume. This was my cup of yogic tea: five exercises--none of them too vigorous--twenty-one reps. And I can easily find ten to twelve minutes a day to perform them. I now enthusiastically look forward to the Tibetans each evening; having utilized them, I now enjoy more energy, sleep better, am more limber. . .stronger. No, the Tibetans are not the regimen for those wanting to look like Olympian gods, but then again, I'm not going to compete in any triathlon; the pace and intensity of these exercises suits me fine. Christopher S. Kilham has put together a very informative booklet--one that can be turned to time and again for future reference. His breathing techniques are excellent, by the way. I'm less than enthusiastic about his discussions of kundalini meditation and yoganidra (deep relaxation), but that's just me. I'll just stick to the Tibetans. Finally, I'd like to thank fellow reviewer doctor_beth for bringing to my attention THE FIVE TIBETANS. Muchas gracias, amigo!
