Betsy Demonstrates the 5 Tibetans
If you happen to be age 40 or older, you have probably noticed that your body is beginning to develop a few signs of aging. For some, it may be wrinkles, sagging skin and fatigue. For others it may be uncomfortable physical symptoms, forgetfulness, pain or a loss of function. Could it be that all these symptoms are really signs of energy imbalances or blocks? What if there was something we could do as part of our daily self-care routine to minimize aging and prolong our youth? It’s about time you heard about the Five Tibetan Fountain of Youth exercises! I stumbled upon them over 10 years ago and became a believer. They may be the reason I am so healthy and passionate about personal energy health. Here’s a little history about how I came to be introduced to this daily practice:
Back in 2000, shortly after my fortieth birthday, I began to think that I might be slowing down a bit, starting the process of aging, and beginning to lose my youthful assets and abilities. Some of the thoughts came from a place of vanity and fear, along with a tinge of regret.
As part of my job doing business development for an integrative medical practice, I was given the task of identifying the most popular alternative health books available. In my research, I discovered a book titled The Ancient Secrets of the Fountain of Youth by Peter Kelder. This book claimed that by doing five simple exercises every day, anyone could rev up their human energy system. The practice of doing the exercises would allow the body to maintain a youthful appearance and function, even though it might be advancing in age. The exercises were said to keep hair from turning gray! I was immediately intrigued and quickly made a trip to acquire the book.
I began practicing the five Tibetan exercises immediately. I did them first thing each morning upon waking. It surprised me how challenging they were considering that I been working out regularly and believed I had excellent health before adding the five exercises to my routine. I noticed that I was developing better core body strength and flexibility too. The exercises helped me to feel better and better each day.
Curiously, something else began happening. I began having strange dreams. It seemed to me that these exercises had evoked something beyond the physical. Something seemingly spiritual began stirring inside me and I realized that I was becoming very intuitive. I found this a little unsettling. I tried to dismiss the intrusive thoughts and the guiding voices that now had appeared in my life and which seemed to be speaking to me incessantly. I also found myself getting goosebumps constantly, as if my body had become a lightning rod for energetic information. This was all very new and a bit frightening to me!
The exercises changed my life indeed and if you choose to try them, you should be forewarned of their power.
