I can attest to the effectiveness of these exe3rcises, and
"synchronistically" was just preparing to resume doing them, to relieve
pain from a long-standing injury which I have neglected due to the lack of a
chiropractor here in Mexico.
I was intoridced to them 3-4 years ago by my wife, who gave me Kelder's
book, and within two weeks these exercises relieved intense back/pelvis/knee
pain caused by injury resulting from a hammock rope breaking while I was
sleeping.
I believe they can also be found on the internet. Try googling "five
tibetans" for results.
I hate exercising, but the pain is crippling, and I'm sure doing these
exercises will bring quick relief.

Subject: CS>The Five Rites of Rejuvenation
If anyone is interested, these are excellent exercises for health and
possibly even rejuvenation.
From "The Eye of Revelation" by Peter Kelder (about 1935) or
"The Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth" or
"The Five Tibetans"
(Well, I got several requests, so I will write out the instructions for
the 5 rites as I understand them. )
The Five Rites
1. Stand with the arms outstretched. Twirl around to the right (in the
direction that your head turns to look at your right shoulder).
2. Lie on the floor on your back, arms at your side and legs
outstretched. While keeping the small of the back on the floor so as
not to strain the lower back, raise the legs up to a vertical position
(keep them straight). At the same time that the legs are being raised,
lift the head up so that the chin comes to the chest. Also, breathe in.
Breathe out as the head and legs return to the original position.
3. Kneel on the floor. The body above the knees should be straight
and vertical. Place the hands on the lower buttocks, just above the
thighs. Breathe in as the head tips backwards and the back arches
backwards. Keep the shoulders back, the hands on the butt, and the
mouth closed. The bend is mostly in the upper trunk area.
Breathe out as the head moves forward until the chin rests on the chest
and the rest of the body is again upright.
4. Sit on the ground with the feet together and stretched out in
front. The arms are at the sides with the palms on the floor and
fingers pointing forward, in the direction of the feet. Breathe in, tip
the head backwards, at the same time lift the hips off the floor and
roll onto the soles of the feet. The head is tipped back, the body from
neck to knees will be straight and horizontal (parallel to the floor),
the arms and lower legs will be vertical, the palms and soles are
touching the floor, and the toes and fingers point in the same
direction. This is like the "crab" walk that we used to do in gym
class. (Tense all the muscles of the body and release.)
Breathe out and return to the starting position, but bring the head
forward so that the chin touches the chest.
5. Get into the position as if you were going to do a pushup
(facing the floor, with body straight, upper body supported off the
ground by straight arms with the palms on the floor, fingers pointing
forward, and the lower body supported by the toes and the balls of the
feet.) Breathe out and bend the head backwards and let the hips drop
towards the floor. The legs will be mostly parallel and close to the
floor and the trunk will bend backwards and up, mostly vertical to the
floor. (Tense all the muscles of the body and release.)
Breathe in as the head comes forward so that the chin touches the chest
and as the hips are raised up off the floor, and back. The body will
form a sort of inverted "V", the legs are straight, the body is bent at
the hips with the hips being the highest point, the trunk and arms are
straight and form a straight line. (Tense all the muscles of the body
and release.)
The exercises should each be done 21 times, start out with, say, 5 of
each and then add one or two more repetitions a day as your body
strengthens.
If you have trouble with your back, be careful, and don't allow the bend
to go excessively to any vertebrae that has problems. Do you understand
what I mean? Spread out the bend to the whole back, don't let the weak
part do all of the bending.
Once you can do the basic exercise, (don't forget the breathing), at the
part of exercise 4 when the body is raised up off the floor and in the
two extreme positions of exercise 5, all the muscles of the body should
be tensed and then released. Don't do the tensing until you can get the
rest of the movements coordinated.
