Default Has anyone heard of the '5 Rituals for Looking Younger'?

I just got a self development email this morning claiming that there are 5 rituals brought back from an ancient Tibetan monastary that help you look up to 30 years younger 'in just 10 minutes a day'. Apparently Martin Sheen uses it, as well as John Gray and Bradley Thompson. Has anyone purchased that program, and if so, what are the 5 rituals? It seems really too good to be true, but you never know. I just don't want to spend $40 dollars for knowledge that was so generously given to them by Tibetan monks, especially with how Tibet has and is being treated. Thanks.

If I looked 30 years younger I'd barely be a glimmer in my dad's eye!!!

But in all seriousness, I don't put much stock in what unsolicited emails tell me. I personally wouldn't buy such a product.

Default Could you be talking about The Five Tibetans?

I bought a book by that name about 10 years ago by Christopher S. Kilham. It was around 10.00

Healthy diet(eating more veggies than meat, eventually excluding meat all together), exercise, meditation, massage(esp facial massage) and eventually if you have money Fraxel/Mixto laser + some of the collagen rejuvenation lasers (plus maybe Botox for complete relaxation of facial muscles but personally that would be the last thing i would recommend). Also a HGH therapy. BTW buy the book book Younger You by Eric R. Braverman.

Default 5 Tibetian Rites

There are couple of books out there that teaches it. I borrowed it from library. Its theory sounds valid...activating the chakras and keeping it balanced helps you look young. I have not done it consistently to notice the results. Worth a try.

My mum bought that book several years ago... I borrowed it off her (don't know if she ever used it!) errm and I've had it for almost 15 years Unfortunately, I haven't been consistent with it!! For awhile I'll do the rites, and then I just forget about it etc. etc. I really would like to give it a good shot and see what the result is though!

An ancient Tibetan monastery?....Sounds like marketing hype to me - I would avoid it. Plus, do Tibetans look younger than everyone else?

Ditto what Mayo said - You want 5 rituals? How about: healthy diet, exercise, weight-training, cardio, meditation.

Hmmm. I would think the 5 rituals would be:

Sex
Laughter
Singing
Dancing
Rest

I feel younger just thinking about those rituals!

Though seemingly lighthearted, I think Angela is dead on here. I was just talking about this with family this weekend; I know people who seemingly break every "rule" in the book, health wise, and yet they seem to thrive if they are in a relationship, laugh a lot, have lots of human touch, feel loved.etc....then others who maybe have experienced grief, have little meaningful human contact, despite "healthy living" sometimes face more health challenges. I believe it's a very important subject.

I don't know if you paid the $40 or not. I found the same site and was considering buying the program as well when I decided to see if I could find it for free. I found the following link which may or may not be what they were advertising, but it's free and I figured after reading it that I wasn't going to get much more for $40.
