Tibetan Yoga Today
Yoga to activate the Energy

Two small books have been published in America and in UK revealing the efficiency of:

“ TheFive Tibetans”
These Tibetan Yoga exercises are dynamising the vortexes, plexus, chakras, so all physical and mind functions are activated. They are said to have rejuvenating powers.

Tibetan Yoga is practiced by Buddhist Tibetan monks, but only few of them are taught with this technique, which is secret. Today, because of the side effects of the Chinese cultural revolution, still active in Tibet, there are less and less yogis in Tibet.

As I am used to trek in the Himalayas for more than twenty years, including Tibet, I have been initiated to more than the “Five Tibetans”. These exercises help me a lot to enjoy trekking and mountaineering in high mountains. I feel more energy in my body and in my mind the days I am practicing them.

I compare the Tibetan Yoga exercises to the vitamins and minerals.
To keep our balance, we need to absorb daily different vitamins and minerals. They are provided by our food and drinks. Over using some vitamins and eating too much may create unbalances. Under absorbing vitamins and food during long fasting may also create problems.
It is the same with the Tibetan yoga exercises. A daily practice, at moderate dose, provides energy for day and night. Over practicing may damage the body and disturb the mind.

In addition to my personal practice, I am sure of the efficiency of these exercises because I taught them to very young Tibetan children, at Dharamsala, Mcleodganj, the small Indian town where HH the Dalai Lamas is leaving in exile. The children immediately enjoyed the exercises. Their teachers have noticed that they have more energy all day when they are doing morning yoga. Tibetan teenagers also enjoyed practicing yoga at school.

The complete set includes 30 exercises, with deep breathing. They are performed like the sun salutations, without stopping, for half an hour, or more for advanced trainees. Each exercise is repeated 7, 14 or 21 times.

By thinking to the Tibetan sun rising in Tibet, these exercises link the mind and the soul to Tibet and to the universal energy.

Anybody can do these exercises, but it is better to learn with a specialist.
