Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth
by Peter Kelder
The 5 rites: The benefit of the rites is to normalize the speed of the spinning vortexes of energy called chakras. The rites bring the chakras to the speed of normal, healthy 25 year olds. In a young healthy person the chakras are all spinning at the same rate of speed. As we age, the chakras start to spin at different rates and are no longer working in harmony to one another. The slower chakras cause that part of the body they’re related to, to deteriorate. The faster spinning chakras cause nervousness, anxiety and exhaustion.
Practicing the rites: Start out by practicing each rite 3 times, once a day. Add 3 more each week until you reach 21. Build up more gradually if you need to. Practice at the same time each day if you can, either in the morning or at night. If you are in good shape physically, repeating each rite 21 times should take 10-20 minutes.
Rite 1. Spinning: Synchronizes the speed of all the vortexes. In the northern hemisphere, spin clockwise (from left to right). To prevent dizziness, focus on a single point at eye level, turn your head around very quickly to your focus point as soon as you can.
Rite 2. Leg raises: Lay on the floor on your back with your arms by your side palms down, fingers together. Lift your head tucking your chin into your chest. At the same time lift your legs, knees straight, to a vertical position. If possible, let the legs extend back over your body toward your head. Then slowly release back to the floor. Relax and repeat. It is important to inhale as you lift up and exhale as you lower down.
Rite 3. Kneeling: Kneel on the floor with your body erect and your hands holding on to your thighs. Tuck chin into chest. Inhaling, throw your head back and lean backward, arching your spine. Exhaling, come forward, chin back into chest. Establish a rhythmic breathing pattern.
Rite 4. Table: Sit on the floor with legs straight and hip width apart. Place hands on the floor beside your hips with finger pointing forward. Tuck chin into your chest while exhaling. Inhaling, drop your head back and push feet and hands against the floor and lift your torso up into a table posture. Tense all the muscles in your body. Release, relax and repeat.
Rite 5. Alternating up dog and down dog: Lay face down on the floor. Bring your hands under your shoulders with your elbows close to your body. Turn your toes under and push your hands into the floor lifting your torso off the floor stretching back through your legs. You are now in a plank position. Inhaling, lift your head and chest up sinking in the lower back coming into up dog. Exhaling, push your hands into the floor, lifting your hips up toward the ceiling, coming into down dog. Your body should now be in the shape of an up side down v. Alternate between up dog and down dog, moving with the inhale and the exhale.
