I wanted to ask if anyone here has tried to practice the 5 Tibetan Exercises (aka Five Tibetan Rites).

My friend, seing that I am not doing to well healthwise, suggested to try them.  She, as well as her mom, do them every day and attribute their good health to them.

It is a set of 5 short exercises, that you are supposed to be repeated a few times each.  Starting with 3 times each and adding more with every week.

They are supposed to be good for enhancing the detoxification process, encreasing circulation etcetera.

The only problem is - you do need healthy shoulders and knees to be able to do them, especially the 4th one, which is really impossible for me with my aching right shoulder.  I kind of try to substitute it with something similar.

You can find plenty of info on the Internet, including videos on Youtube.

Here is one short description: http://www.kripalu.org/kyta_artcl.php?id=246

No matter what you do to increase circulation, awareness, flexibility and so on is good for us. We have a tendency to be rather sedintary in nature -because we don't feel good!!

Gentle stretching, gentle yoga, meditation and so on are all good things -but please note the "gentle" that I included. It's never wise for someone with this set of infections to push too hard, it can really bring on a bad day!!

So just be careful in doing those things and you should feel better!

Since they are supposed to help with detox, I thought they would be a nice addition to the ABX and the supplements, but exercise #4 is a real challange to me.  Also - I get pretty dizzy from spinning just 3 times.  I don't know if I will be able to do much more.

i have found that organic baby barley grass helps detox great. i add it to applejuice. it is gross, but it seems to be working. it is a powder.

Anyone with a juicer or who makes smoothies, add a bunch of carrots/ carrot juice to your routine! It helps with detoxing too! I use a pound of carrots every week!

Letgo, where do you get that (baby barley grass)?

Traveler, yes, I like carrots, I should eat them more often.

I tried the exercises today. I've been doing yoga so it was pretty easy for me...I did each one three times. I read that you're supposed to build up to 21 reps.....I CANNOT imagine spinning 21 times in a row!! But we'll see.

Toward the end I felt sort of a hot surge through my body, and kind of energized. Lately I've been feeling very sick, very stiff, sort of walking like a zombie. Maybe it's a coincidence, but after doing this I felt quite a bit better...moving around was easier. Granted now I'm feeling pretty tired again, but I think it might've helped somewhat. I'm definitely going to continue to experiment with this.

My only concern is that shortly after doing this I started having a panic attack. I've been having them every day again lately, so maybe it was just coincidental timing. I think my panic attacks have to do with circulation of toxins though, so I guess maybe it did what it's supposed to do and circulated the lympathic system. There's my experience.
