“The Five Tibetan Rites” contain five simple, spiritual, and beneficial exercises which are designed to help you open all your chakras quickly. The routine takes only 10 minutes but as you progress to doing 21 repetitions, it will take longer. It also uses a four step breathing method of inhaling, holding, exhaling, and holding the empty lungs. Ancient Buddhists have been practicing these rites for thousands of years with amazing results.

Other exercises such as being upside down, jumping, or balancing can teach you many important lessons. The exercise of standing on your hands or hanging upside down, can be one of the best ways to open your higher chakras. Jumping on trampolines or jumping rope is a beneficial way to help you learn how to stand, walk and run with better posture because your posture must be perfect to jump. Balance is a skill that can help you learn to balance your body, your mind, emotions, and spirit.
For some, gymnastics can be more invigorating and exciting than many other types of physical activity. Gymnastics takes a large amount of devotion and dedication. Because of this there are certainly ways of taking this practice too far. However, if it is done for your own enjoyment and spiritual gain it can be a great way to jump into outer and inner realms. Each type of gymnastics opens different chakras and can benefit a different part of your being. Some gymnastic exercises are also yoga postures. Many of the moves in gymnastics allow you to be more connected with a certain animal. Like dance, gymnastics can be a sacred ceremony.
Sports of most kinds can be developed to attain all the holistic benefits possible. In a group sport you must have the entire team achieve higher states to succeed. There are groups of people that have developed teams that focus on spiritual advancements and emotional well-being but they are not always easy to find. If you cannot find a team that has a spiritual awareness you can still practice with all four of your being’s aspects in mind.
Almost any form of exercise can be beneficial and all kinds of movement can be developed and used to create a stronger body, mind, heart, and spirit connection. It is not what type of exercise you do, but how you do the exercise and what you put into it. If you do not enjoy one type of exercise there are many more ways you can move. It is important to do many types of exercise and not focus on just one. Balancing your entire being is the key. Try a little bit of everything and do it regularly. The great power is in the movement of the body.
Also, exercise your true will while you exercise your body. Think of Uranus, the planet of true will. Uranus does not conform to the rest of the planets and revolves in a perfect circle around the Sun. It has its own unique path. Know who you are and where you are going. Let your own true will be your guide. You do not have to follow any type of exercise in particular. It is best if you create your own way of moving, your own dance that works perfectly for you. This will allow your body to achieve its greatest potential.
If you eat a balanced diet, expand or relax your mind, love yourself, enlighten your spirit, and exercise your body then you are bound to have a healthier life in a complete and holistic way for all parts of your being. If this healthier life makes you happier then you will feel more love for your life. Such an experience can open up new and important frontiers for the world as a whole.
In time, you can make every movement of your day an important exercise as well as putting time aside each day to work out. Such devotion will certainly pay off. When the four major aspects of your being, your body, mind, emotions, and spirit, are connected to each other and working as one unit, you will find wholeness which is true health.
