The Secret Art of Seamm Jasani: 58 Movements for Eternal Youth from Ancient Tibet

by Asanaro, Joice Buccarey (Translator), Benjamin B. Kelley (Translator)

More than 10,000 years ago in the ancient Himalayan Mountains, an ancestral civilization committed itself to the study and development of the Science and Art for Eternal Youth. A form kept in close secrecy for millennia is now revealed for the first time in this practical and dynamic guidebook. The teachings focus on cultivating the powers of the individual's mind, the harmony of movements, and the discovery of internal potentialities as the ultimate force of self-healing to extend one's lifetime.

Comparable to a cross between yoga and tai chi, this ancient Tibetan system is designed to increase vitality, balance, and Inner Energy. The Secret Art consists of slow and fluid movements that improve coordination and strengthen equilibrium between body and mind through various breathing and movement techniques. In particular, Seamm-Jasani is known for its combination of relaxation, active motion, and breathing exercises.

Very enjoyable and interesting book on a nearly lost form of Tibetan martial art; my full review is here: http://www.elephantjournal.com/2009/0...

I lost interest after the author told me to never do drugs.

This is the best type of exercise that I have ever done. It’s enjoyable and has made me feel better after only a month of practice. The drawings and descriptions of the exercises make them easy to do. The author is a little eccentric and has some ascetic leanings but don’t let that deter you. I don’t like to exercise but I like to do SJ.
