Tibetan exercise nr6

[Tom]

First you stand up straight but not rigid. The idea is to relax before you do anything and allow your breathing to slow and to become deeper. When you are ready to begin, on the exhalation keep going by pulling in the muscles of the stomach a little. This is not supposed to be a lot of tension. If it is at all uncomfortable then you are trying too hard. Then you bend over forward to continue your exhalation. Relaxation is supposed to be maintained. The idea is to push all of the air out of the lungs, but this is actually not physically possible for a good reason: if you ever actually do it you will collapse both of your lungs and you will require the services of your local hospital. The idea so far is to just push out a lot more air than normally would occur and still maintain your relaxation. Then, holding the breath out, stand up and stretch yourself as tall as you can. This includes lifting your shoulders up. Naturally this will feel unfamiliar at first. When it actually starts to feel uncomfortable, slowly breathe in the fill the lungs completely. Take a few normal breaths before doing it again. When you are rested you can do it another time. The book which has these exercises suggests only doing this exercise in one session per day and only three times. When you have more practice with it you can use your good judgment to determine what is enough and what is too much. When you maintain relaxation and lack of excess force in your exercise you will find that it can be done for much more than one to two seconds. I started out closer to fifteen seconds after standing up before it became uncomfortable and have not yet pushed to the point of having my lungs actually demanding air.

As to the second question, I can only guess. When you breathe in and out you set up a lot of motions in your body. The internal organs are massaged, the spine is bent and straightened, lymph is circulated, and the flow of blood is assisted. My guess is that when you force all of the air from the lungs to the extent that it can be done, excess blood and lymph are pulled away from the pelvis and sexual organs. Chronic sexual arousal caused blood to stagnate there.

I also got problems raising my pelvis in exercise 4--which is weird seeing that I'm a gym fanatic...

[Tom]

Do you think it would help to adjust the distance between your feet, either bringing them closer together or setting them farther apart?

its the abdominal walls that don'ty wanna stretch

[Tom]

The fourth exercise is the hardest, it said. The exercises are supposed to be done three times each and then increased by two every week. They are also not supposed to be done past the point of discomfort. How are you doing with it? Is it getting any easier?

hey  are  you  talking  about the  5 tibetans??

ive been doing them for  a  while now  (except  the  6th)  

i  find  the  5th  the  hardest.

what  have  you  both  found  to  be  the most  significant change??

i  know  they  are  all  designed  to  strengthen  the  spine and  clear  the  primary  energy channel....  but  with  me  ive  only  noticed  my  strength   has  increased.

when  you  do  the  4th,   are  you meant  to  feel  a  slight  strain  near the  bottom of  the spine??   is  that  what  the particular  exerices is  supposed  to do,  because thats  what  i get.

one  thing  about  the first one,   is  the  dizzy  feeling  actually   the  energy  body?   which  we  somehow  tune  into  whilst  spinning?

[Tom]

Yes, the five tibetans.

I a not doing them regularly enough to see much in the way of changes.

They are designed to work on the chakras and the benefits to the physical body are a result of the benefit to the chakras.

The fourth does seem to require a lot of flexibility, but it gets easier with practice.

There is not supposed to be dizziness when yo do the first exercise. Stop spinning when you get dizzy and go slower next time. You will be able to gradually increase the speed and quantity without dizziness.

Heya,

I've given the Tibetan6 a try [ http://bioresonant.com/tibetan6.html] and I last about a SECOND before my lungs demanded air.

two questions:
anyone tried it and lasted longer??
HOW does the redirect of sexual energy WORK in that technique??
