When I began doing the Five Rites, as explained in this book, I documented my progress, first on a diary site and then later on my blog. Inexplicably I stopped doing them after a few months and have never felt as well since. One day, when the time is right, I will make them a part of my life again.
The story that explains how the book came about is charming, whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter. The Five Rites are yoga type exercises that build your strength and well being.

It's a good book for some who are not well versed athletes.The exercisers called RITES( the 6 mentioned in this part)are known in various forms to those of us who do exercise regularly and know about such techniques which are important to focus inward.
I like it.

An interesting book proposing that a series of yoga movements can prolong your life; haven't tried to do them continuously so I can't say whether or not it works.
It is a wonderful explanation of the the tibetan rituals. I have started my own journey of performing these rituals and the book is enormously helpful.
Very good book. Easy read. Describes how to do the five tibetan rites - A chakra balancing yogic practice.

A shorter version of the "Monk who sold his ferrari"....
Not only a great story but amazing concepts
I'm not sure about the techniques they do in the book. I'm sure they would work, but they seem time consuming. I got so dizzy trying one of them that I was sick for the rest of the day. Oh well, I guess I will live with my wrinkles and gray hair.
a quirky little read that illustrates 5 fabulous yoga moves for opening the energy fields full tilt every morning.
