Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 chrism did not invent the Five Tibetans they have been around a long time - there may be some variations but chrism suggests following the original exercises. I have seen there are many who vary the protocols to say they have invented a " new form " to me it is all a means to money- by tweaking something you then have a new thing to sell- there is a reason to do these exercises as part of the safeties - done alone they are still good for many reasons- FOR YOUR INFO... Taken from Wikipedia Performing the exercises In the original The Eye of Revelation booklet, Kelder suggests standing erect between each of the Five Rites with hands on hips and taking one or two deep breaths; he neither implies nor suggests that specific breathing patterns should be adopted while performing the movements.[2] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Tibetan_Rites#cite_note-Kelder2-1> [4] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Tibetan_Rites#cite_note-Kelder-3> Nevertheless, subsequent publications pertaining to the Rites contain edits by others which recommend and detail specific instructions for breathing while performing the exercises.[5] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Tibetan_Rites#cite_note-revised-4> Some practitioners also recommend taking caution prior to performing the Rites due to the possibility of aggravating certain health conditions.[11] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Tibetan_Rites#cite_note-10> Kelder cautions that when performing the First Rite, spinning must always be performed in a clockwise direction. He also states that Bradford clearly recalled that the Maulawiyah, otherwise known as " Whirling Dervishes " <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mevlevi> , always spun from left to right, in a clockwise direction.[2] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Tibetan_Rites#cite_note-Kelder2-1> [4] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Tibetan_Rites#cite_note-Kelder-3> [5] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Tibetan_Rites#cite_note-revised-4> No mention is made of the orientation of the palms, although the original illustration of the Rite in the 1939 edition of The Eye of Revelation clearly depicts both palms as facing toward the ground.[4] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Tibetan_Rites#cite_note-Kelder-3> Here arises a point of contention: the Whirling Dervishes spin in the counter-clockwise direction, with the left palm facing down, towards the earth, and the right palm facing up, towards heaven.[12] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Tibetan_Rites#cite_note-CNN-11> However, this discrepancy may find partial resolution in the fact that Tibetan Buddhist yoga regards clockwise rotation to be favorable, whereas counter-clockwise rotation is considered to be unfavorable.[8] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Tibetan_Rites#cite_note-Authentic2-7> The Five Tibetan Rites is a system of exercises <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise> reported to be more than 2,500 years old[1] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Tibetan_Rites#cite_note-Eye-0> ^ <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Tibetan_Rites#cite_ref-Eye_0-0> Kelder, Peter: The Eye of Revelation. The New Era Press, Burbank, CA; (1939) * First Rite <http://thepdi.com/1.of.5_Tibetan.Rite.gif> " Stand erect with arms outstretched, horizontal with the shoulders. Now spin around until you become slightly dizzy. There is only one caution: you must turn from left to right.
