The Five Tibetans helps the reader to facilitate the inner work with the powerful combination of the body-strengthening daily practice of the legendary yoga-like poses known as the ?5 Tibetans" along with spirit-nourishing stories and metaphors born of seas and rainbows and mountain vistas. As you move through the pages and activities of the book you will discover for yourself the positive effects of performing the rites that have been touted as the ?ancient secret of the fountain of youth." You will feel the sand beneath your feet, follow a mountain river on its course, and watch a rainbow dance on the horizon. You will laugh at the panicking pheasants, cheer for the doubtful downhiller, and fall in love with the sixth grade snake-handler. In the mist of it all, Susan Westbrook will gently encourage you to look inward at what she refers to as the ?grasping behaviors" that are not serving you and will help you take on thoughts and actions (the healing behaviors) that can facilitate your healing and growth.

Regardless of your age or your circumstances, The 5 Tibetans is a book for you, for your body, for your spirit, and for your heart.

The Five Tibetan Rites is a yoga routine based on a ritual of exercises discovered in the early 1900's, by a British army colonel, Colonel Bradford, who was living in a Himalayan monastery. They are practiced around the world and are said to prevent aging. In 1939, Peter Kelder published "The Original Five Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation," which helped spread the rites in the western world.

The rites are comprised of five different movements (with a sixth added for good measure), with each movement performed up to 21 times (Tibetans believe 21 is a perfect, mystical number). It is best to start with 3 repetitions of each exercise and gradually increase the repetitions. The entire routine can be completed in less than 10 minutes.

Industry Reviews

“It takes vision, courage and the dedication of a true seeker to travel thousands of miles to take a course she could have taken in her hometown, so I knew Susan was special from the first time we spoke. What I didn’t know was that my willing student was to become my wise teacher. I am so grateful to Susan for shining her unique light on the Five Tibetan teachings in a way that will inspire people worldwide to try these fabulous techniques and find their lives changed in positive, meaningful and significant ways. This work is important and Susan has made it accessible to everyone in this inspiring, authentic and compelling tapestry of personal stories, clear instruction and insightful wisdom that I am eager to use in all my Five Tibetan classes from now on.”
