Hello Nicole,

I've been doing the Five Rites for years, and think it is a wonderful
series. Once I began doing KY I added the rootlock at the end of each
exerice, which enhances the effects. If I have time for only a little
yoga, the Five Rites is what I do. I love them !

Sat Nam,
Avtar K.

Hello. I've been lurking in the shadows for a while now-this has brought me
out. I have been spinning for a few months, and have found it to help
regulate my blood sugars swings (insulin dependent diabetic), I am not
familiar with the term "rootlock." Can you clarify this for me?
Thank you!

L'Chaim,

There was a discussion a long time ago about the Five Rites, and we
concluded that there are two versions of it. If anyone does a search of
the archives I'm sure it is there because one version was posted. This
is the other version I've been doing for eight years.
the claims for this are that it keeps the chakras spining in unison,
maintaiing good health and slowing the aging process. I don't know if I
can say that it keeps one looking young for sure, because I've always
looked much younger than I am and think it my case it is due to picking
the right parents !!!!!

Each exercise to be repeated 21 times.

1. Spinning. Stand with arms stretched out to the sides, hands at
shoulder height and palms facing down. Spin around at a comfortable
speed, clockwise. When you come to a stop inhale, exhale and apply
rootlock.

I pick an object as my focus and count each time I pass it. To avoid
dizziness, keep you gaze fcused on your hand, and do not move your gaze
from it until you have come to a complete stop. This may take practice -
it takes time to get used to the spinning. If you get too dizzy, stop.
Build it up slowly.

2. Lie on the back, palms resting on the floor by your sides. Inhale,
pull your chin towards your chest, point your toes and lift both legs
straight up, keeping lower back pressed against the floor.. Hold for a
few seconds then exhale, lowering legs slowly to the floor. When
complete inhale, exhale and apply rootlock.

3. Kneel with the balls of the feet against the floor and knees about
four inches apart. Place hands on the back of the legs, just below the
buttocks. Keep your back straight and allow your chin to drop forward so
that your chin is resting against your chest. Inhale through the nose and
arch the back , pulling the shoulders back, lifting your head up and back
and opening your chest. Hold for a few seconds, Exhale and return to
starting position.. When complete inhale, exhale and apply rootlock.

4. Sit with legs straight in front of you, hands with palms on the floor
at your sides, fingers facing forward. Rest your chin against your chest.
Inhale, lift your buttocks and let your head drop back so that, in one
smooth move, you've straightened your body from shoulders to knees to
make a table. Feet about six inches apart, knees bent at a right
angle,chest and abdomen parallel to the floor, arms straight. Contract
the muscles in arms , legs and abdomen and hold for a few seconds.
exhale, return to the starting position and repeat. When complete
inhale, exhale and apply rootlock. Keep breathing steady and relaxed
during this exercise.

5. Lie face down and push your torso up so that you are supporting
yourself with your hands . Both your hands and feet should be about two
inches apart, and only palms and balls of feet are touching the floor. (
it looks like cobra, only the body is off the gound supported by palms
and balls of feet) Tilt your head back so that you are looking up and
ahead. Inhale and lift your hips straight up so that your legs and spine
are in straight lines and your body is forming two sides of a perfect
triangle. Hold for a few seconds, exhale, and slowly return to the
strarting position. When complete inhale, exhale and apply rootlock.

I would suggest that a beginning yoga student start slowly, building up
gradually to the 21 repetitions. When I began this I hadn't been
practicing yoga for a while, and went straight into it without gradually
building it up. I was dizzy for a week !!!!!!
Hhope ya'll have fun with it !!

Love,
Avtar.

Rootlock or Mulabhanda is a body lock. It is a contraction of the anal
sphincter, drawing it up and in, then drawing up the sex organ and then
the navel point is drawn back towards the spine. Applied with breath
retention, either in or out, it unites the two major energy flows, prana
and apana which generates psychic heat and triggers the release of
kundalini energy. It often ends an exercise.

Love,
Avtar K

The 5 Tibetians are a series of Tibetan exercises that were performed
by Tibetan monks done to aid spiritual and physical health. There
are 5 exercises hence they are often referred to as the 5 Tibetians.
There were kept secret until the middle of the 20th century.

They are like a kriya. But we are lucky in Kundalini Yoga has lots of
kriyas to choose from not just one set. Before I came across
Kundalina Yoga I used to to the Tibetians and they were beneficial,
but I now prefer to do the basic spinal energy set.

Thank you Frances for responding. I tried your e address and was not able
to send.

I love the basic spinal set. I teach it as an intro to KY. Are you saying
that the Five Rites and the spinal set are very similar??

Sat Nam,

The 5 Tibetian Rites must be available on the internet somewhere. If
someone does a Goggle search and finds them let us know the link.

Hi, Five Tibetian Rites excersizes are available on the Internet in Czech (my language). I am aware of the fact that the text will be useless for you but you might make some use of the pictures at least. Here it is
