The Five Tibetans - Practicing Correctly

The Five Tibetans are five simple yet very powerful yoga methods that infuse the body and mind with energy and profoundly enhance overall vitality. I have practiced them daily since 1978, have taught them to thousands and was fortunate to present them 2012 on The Dr Oz Show. Almost every book or video I have seen has at least one error. These are based on detailed anatomical illustrations from Peter Kelder, who introduced these to the West in the 1930's, If you want a profound 12 minute daily yoga practice that will tune you up, practice these and please make sure to get my book The Five Tibetans, which is published in 28 languages and offers more detail than this video. Revolutionize your life with these. #TheFiveTibetans #Yoga #ChrisKilham #MedicineHunter #rejuvenation #TheDrOzShow #chakras #kundalini "InnerTraditions

I’ve been doing these daily for 3 years and have renewed my health and strength from lung disease. I’m 67 and have the youth, vitality and strength of most 45 year olds.

[@AB-sc5qx]

I am impressed by the host! Actually he is very good practicing these exercises for the first time! Excellent! ❤

[@bingowings113]

This guy explained these rites very well. I was very impressed. I don't think many of the audience really appreciated or grasped the beneficial affect doing these has on the mind and body, the silly presenter didn't help, thought he was a funny guy........but hey at least the guy tried to help them.

[@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551]

I have been doing this for many years off and on as im about to turn 46 in two months im going to start doing them daily, I learned about these rites from Modern Magick the wonderful book on Ceremonial Magick by the late DMK.

Great share, solid, going to add to my routine. 🙏🏻❤️

I have most trouble with #4. I feel like I need blocks or something under my hands. Maybe my arms are too short! I found these many decades ago and practiced them now and then, but when i was younger they didn't feel like "serious" exercise. Now I'm 70 and I've started again, and I can really see how much I need them.

[@chriskilham]

#4 is probably the hardest for most people. And yes arm length can make a difference. If you can, practice in the first position of #4, pushing your butt up off the ground. Try not to drag. Slow practice of thismayhelp you to achib=ve it more easily. Best to you.

[@grandad400]

Same here my arms seem to be a little too short I struggle with this one

[@ubizmo]

I ended up getting a couple of yoga blocks for this one, to put my hands on.

[@rosegobies2287]

Excellent 🙏

[@chriskilham]

Blessings to you.

[@m.b.593]

You really are the reason the masses know about this practice. I learned it from your book Inner Power. That one single book has so many amazing practices. Thank you so much brother! Have a Blessed 2024! 🙏🏻

[@mozearteffect10]

I've done these...inconsistently,,,,for over 25 years...from Peters book.....Medicine Hunter has it most accurate...there are some tweaks people, myself included, may interpret...but THIS video sums them up the best imho...coming from a dance and yoga background along with cross country running-hiking....as we age...this is a MUST

[@mr.blackhawk142]

Me too moze, but I started around 1986ish when I read the Peter Kelder book. The 5th one seems to really help with my T-11 compressed vertebrae injury! I've had that since Dec. 20th, 1996. They are amazing exercises that help me be sickness free since 1986! (I'm also 37 years vegan). I started with 21 reps, but have been doing 24 reps for about a year now. (I do 50 reps spinning).

[@ZNX05]

Have you also been doing the 6th one?

[@Andy-ud1gd]

It's one of the first times, I see the fifth rite done as in the original book of Peter Kelder. Most people today has replaced it with a downward dog.

[@milanmaheshwari]

Funny most of the people advocating five Tibetan rites forget that in fourth rite at the top of the body one has to SQEEZE the body. I don’t see anyone talking about it.

[@chriskilham]

Hi- Peter Kelder introduced these in 1935 and mentions no such thing. If we are going to practice correctly then his directions are the best we have. Anything additional is somebody else's idea. Take care.

[@m.b.593]

@@chriskilhamI mist have a bastardized version then because mine says there’s an isometric squeeze at the top of Rite 4. Wow, interesting. 🙏🏻

Just fantastic. Been doing them for three decades. But I need to know about the sixth Rite. Any information.

You can read about it here: Ancient Secret Of The Fountain Of Youth - Peter Kelder. Find the book online for free, it's free and only about 50 pages. Enjoy!

[@Elstuderino]

Christopher Kilham has a book about the five Tibetans and it does show how to do the 6th Tibetan too. It's a good read.

[@sakshamkohli2040]

I am facing some difficulties while performing fifth rite of five Tibetans, I wanted to know whether our gaze or head position should be towards ceiling or in front during upward dog . The incorrect posture during the fifth rite is doing more harm than any good

[@chriskilham]

When you are in the lower position your head is up toward the sky. When you are in the higher position your chin is tucked into your chest. Stay safe.

[@sakshamkohli2040]

How can I contact you ?

[@mr.blackhawk142]

@@chriskilham Thanx Chris! The last 3 of these rites require stretching the neck up which prevents double chin syndrome!

He did the last one incorrectly. Also, too fast, which is a common western mistake.

[@chriskilham]

Actually, I have the only anatomically correct drawings from Peter Keller, not the stick figures everyone uses. In the 5th Tibetan, legs are apart, you remain up on balls of feet the whole time. It is not downward dog at all. If we are going to practice correctly, then Kelder's original drawings are what we have to go by. In other words we followed the originals to the letter.

[@nansenscat9315]

⁠​⁠@@chriskilham Ah, I stand corrected. You’re right. I just checked the Keller illustrations and realize that I’ve been doing this incorrectly for a long time now! I was taught years ago (in Asia, by a master) to keep feet flat. Thank you for your comment and correction!

[@m.b.593]

Thank you Chris. I’ve debated the lady, her name escapes me, from Australia I believe, that sells a teacher training course on the Rites. Of course she’s a yoga teacher so she says it was just due to Kelder being inflexible. She also didn’t know the kidney point is in the middle of the foot and I tried to explain to her that it was stretching/activating that point by keeping the heel up. She also “regulates” the wiki page and there’s zero mention of you. Smh. 🙏🏻

[@chriskilham]

Thankfully my Five Tibetans is in 28 languages, so the correct way as described by Kelley is getting out there. I named the Five Rites of rejuvenation The Five Tibetans. It's all good, transmission of teachings that benefit many. I yearn for no turf, just passing on some amazing wisdom.It's pure grace that I wound up knowing these. I have practiced The Five Tibetans daily for 45 years and believe that they really do enhance overall vitality and energy. Blessings.@@m.b.593

[@m.b.593]

@@chriskilhamI do have to ask why you don’t tense the body in Rites 4 and 5? I’ve never seen anyone mention this and I started to think I made it up myself having not read Kelder’s book in 30 yrs but I just got a copy and it does indeed say to tense the body in the upward table top position of Rite 4 and again briefly at the top and bottom positions of Rite 5. Thanks for replying Chris. 🙏🏻

Tip: don't do this if you're Christian. For everyone else, it's a good exercise.

[@Zergoun]

why, pal?

[@sylvialenz84]

Why????

[@Heathper1214]

There are medical explanations for each pose. If you don't like the Buddhist interpretation of the chakra balancing, know that there are also medical explanations for these areas (the endocrine system). I'm a Christian and I believe all truth is God's truth. And God loves Buddhists just as much.
