Philosophy
Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth

The Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth has
popularized a series of postures that has been around for many
years called The Five Tibetan's. According to the book, these
five exercises will balance and invigorate your chakra energies
while slowing or even reversing the aging process. These are big
claims but evidently it works. All sorts of people recommend the
program outlined in the book like Dr. Bernie Siegel, M. D. author
of Love, Medicine and Miracles, John Gray author of, Men
are from Mars, Women are from Venus, actor Martin Sheen and
many, many others.
I found the book a delightful story and a great
introduction to the mysteries of the chakras and the benefits of yoga. For
the advanced practitioner and/or teacher it is another valuable series and another
way to view yoga philosophy that it is nice to be familiar with.
For those who want to know the history of the migration of eastern
ideas to the west, and want rational explanations for the claims of the first
book and who want directions on how to go deeper into the traditions and ideas
of the first book, book two is a wonderful resource. It includes more detailed
information about the chakras, proper diet, yoga, meditation , Tibetan Budhism
and much more. |
