Ancient Secr et for Gr ow ing Younger
By Featur ed Colum nist Ellen Wood
Fourteen years ago when I happened onto the
Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation in a book by Peter
Kelder, I knew instinctively these exercises would
help me grow younger, and they have! colonel who told him of his travels to India and
Tibet. Kelder published The Eye of Revelation based
on his conversations with the colonel. It was later
retitled,The Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth.
Known as The Five Tibetans, this series of
movements affects the body, mind and emotions,
activating and stimulating key chakras (energy
centers) thereby stimulating all the glands of the
endocrine system. Since the endocrine system is
responsible for the body?s overall functioning and
aging process, these exercises affect all our organs
and systems. Although I have been practicing The Five Tibetans
daily since 2004, about six years ago I discovered a
new edition of Kelder?s book,edited by W.J. Watt
and published in 2008. This book, based on a
recently discovered manuscript of Kelder?s from
1939, gives additional detail and information on
the correct way to do the exercises and their
benefits.
The Five Tibetans can be considered a form of yoga
similar to the more well-known yoga series that
originated in India. However, these are designed to
reverse aging and they really work. One of the details is that they should be performed
slowly. What a difference that makes! Initially, I had
to cut back to just six a day of each and my muscles
were sore! Now I?m back up to 21 of each with no
soreness.
I know ? because The Five Tibetans are part of my
daily practices for growing younger and living happy
? and they?re certainly working for me. To begin, you
should do each one 3 times, gradually working up to
21 of each. I?ve posted a brief video in which I show
the correct way to do the five primary exercises. You

Studies of societies with populations that live long,
active lives report that they remain physically active
in their 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond. As practically any
doctor will tell you, we must keep moving. The only
thing that might seem unusual about my practice is
that it dates back more than 2500 years.
The Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation were introduced to
the Western world by Peter Kelder. He learned of
them in the 1930s from a retired British army
When beginning this practice, as with any new
exercise program, please use caution. If you don?t
already practice yoga or something similar, I
suggest you first get your doctor?s permission.
Sometimes we really can learn from our elders. In
this case, ancient elders!
