The Five Tibetan Rites day 154

I noticed that when I missed doing the Five Tibetan Rites once or twice I have become less diligent in making sure I do them. It was as if I thought "Oh well, I've blown it" just like people do when they are on diets. I am sure that this explains the drop in my energy levels, my thinking sometimes being a bit foggy, my skin looking a bit dry and I take longer to loosen up when I exercise. Also, although I have a problem getting to sleep anyway  I was dropping off better when I was doing at least eleven of each rite every day. Now I am probably only getting about five or six hours sleep and waking up a lot; at least twice if not four or five times. I have also noticed that my thoughts and attitudes are not as peaceful as they were. Sometimes instead of looking for the good in a person or a situation I just think "oh bugger it" or worse.  When I was doing the rites more diligently I was more inclined to think "what can I do to make this situation / person better" not "begger off and leave me alone". Anyway. Here goes to getting back to doing at least eleven every day. I don't think I have ever done the full 21 yet but it's not all tat many months ago that I could only just manage 3.

Hello there,
I simply love your way of describing "five Tibetan rites", and especially the part of thinking more positive and much more proactive! That is so much true. I've been performing 5 Tibetan rites for more than 16 years, more or less regularly. Well, I am on 21 repetitions of each rite, once, twice or even three times a day and I've never felt better in my entire life than now.

Hi!

You last post is from 2005.
Are you still doing them?
I just started doing them again after
three years of "living foolishly".

Goodness, I hadn't realised it was that long ago. I must admit I haven't done them for over a year,maybe 2 years, which is stupid when I look back on how much good they did me.
Thanks for posting the comment, you have jolted me into at least planning to start doing them again, even if it's only one repetition at first.

I did them first eight years ago and I did them for about a year with little interruptions.
Then I did them on and off till I stopped it (For no reason)
I have started four days ago doing 3
reps each except for the first one, the spinning which I can do easily 21
times.
Good luck!

Glad to hear this is helping you. I'm encouraged since I plan on putting it into practice for the new year.
