In these challenging times when many of us are confined to our homes, we need to keep fit and healthy, and exercise
should always be part of our daily regime.
Before I go any further and and at the risk of sounding self-righteous, I have a big confession to make – I hate going
to the gym. I loathe exercise bikes, weights, running machines, I detest pilates, reformers and yoga bores me to tears.
So, I have had a major dilemma. Just recently since being in semi-isolation, I’ve noticed bits of me were starting to
droop – some more than others, and I felt I should start trying to get gym fit without setting foot in one.!
I have been thinking there must be a way …and then
I remembered – theTibetan Rites.
The Tibetan Rites worked for me several years ago on many levels and I loved doing them – which for me is a first
where any form of exercise is concerned. So, in the past week, I have taken myself in hand and started practicing
them again.
Time to chant
The Rites take around 10/15 mins a day max and you can do them anywhere! They’re easy to achieve and the
results are astonishing including increased energy, weight loss, better memory, new hair growth, pain relief,
better digestion, and generally feeling great! Who needs the gym? They are quick and simple and if I can keep
them up then so can you!
So where did they originate? Hidden in the remote reaches of the Himalayan mountains lay an ancient secret.
Generations of Tibetan monks passed down a series of exercises with mystical, age-reversing properties known
as the Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation, or the Five Rites. These once-secret exercises are now available for all to
use by way of Colonel Bradford, a mysterious retired British army officer who learned of the Rites while journeying
high up in the Himalayas.
Legend has it that the monks practicing the Tibetan Rites looked years younger and sustained optimum health well
into their eighties and beyond. These five ancient Tibetan rites can also make you feel and look younger and are
the perfect solution for gym and exercise haters like me!
So, for once I would recommend – do try this at home – and you will benefit hugely from this ancient practice and
will never look back.
