The Five Tibetan Rites

The Five Tibetan Rites, also known as as the “Fountain of Youth”, crossed my way again. I found an excellent introduction at An Intro To The 5 Tibetan Rites & How They Can Boost Heart Health. There is both how-to for each rite and a short text about the health benefits.

They are thought to increase mobility and flexibility and help the body stay nimble as we age. Increased energy and feelings of calmness, mental clarity, greater spinal flexibility, better sleep, weight loss, healthier digestion, and improved libido have also been associated with the practice.

In addition to these benefits, research has also emerged suggesting that the flexibility of our spine predicts the flexibility of our arteries. Therefore, a yoga practice centered on spine flexibility, like the Tibetans, may help keep our arteries in a youthful state.

Qigong hand-massage

I came across this video when I browsed YouTube for Qigong-videos. The text says “Practicing this Qigong will help you to Relax hands, improve your Health, Strengthen Internal Organs.” I have osteoarthritis in my hands, this massage can help me.

Watch it on YouTube at Qigong Massage Hands or watch it below.

Dust if you must

Dust If You Must
by Rose Milligan

Dust if you must, but wouldn’t it be better
To paint a picture, or write a letter,
Bake a cake, or plant a seed;
Ponder the difference between want and need?

Dust if you must, but there’s not much time,
With rivers to swim, and mountains to climb;
Music to hear, and books to read;
Friends to cherish, and life to lead.

Dust if you must, but the world’s out there
With the sun in your eyes, and the wind in your hair;
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain,
This day will not come around again.

Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
Old age will come and it’s not kind.
And when you go (and go you must)
You, yourself, will make more dust.
