Tibetan yoga is a simple exercise that you can do to help improve your mental and physical health. The Rites of Tibetan Yoga was said to be discovered by a Colonel of the British Army while he was on duty in the East. The colonel was said to owe his youthfulness to this exercise.

The Tibetan rites allow your spiritual energy to move throughout your body. This spiritual energy is referred to as Kundalini in Tibetan Yoga and was said to be stored at the base of your spine. The Rites of Tibetan Yoga will help mobilize your kundalini in order to have a better body and mind.

The first Rite is called Spinning. All you have to do is to extend your arms to the side and spin clockwise. Start off slowly then go faster without getting to lose control. If you feel dizzy, it is best that you stop. After repeating this three times, you are to lie down on the floor to get some rest.

The second rite is the Leg Rises. Lying flat on your back, extend your arms on the side of your body with your palms against the floor. Slowly raise your head and place your chin against your chest. Lift your legs while keeping your knees straight in a vertical position. Then slowly return to your initial position. Repeat for three times.

Another rite is called the Camel. You are to kneel on the floor with your body erect and your knees under your hips. Place your hands on the back of your buttocks then slowly tilt your neck and head forward while arching your spine. Then return to the initial position. Repeat three times.

Ten to fifteen minutes per day of these simple exercises is enough to improve your health. After finishing your exercise routine, lay flat on your stomach and keep your chin on the ground. Close your eyes and relax while you wait for your heart and breathe to function at a normal rate.

One way to help increase your tolerance over sickness and stress, is to implement healthy habits in your lifestyle whether you’re looking for health benefits, less stress or just for leading a happier life from day to day.

Maintaining a new healthy habit can be harder than it seems. Luckily, there are a few tricks that can make this easier. Here are some things that you must consider:

Simplicity

Do not take up a habit that will end up giving you stress as you master it instead of relieving stress. For example, if pilates can be straining and difficult for you then do not force it because it will only frustrate you. Choose something easier like walking.

Lifestyle

Do not force something that does not fit your lifestyle. If you are a morning person, then it is best not to choose a morning workout as your stress management habit. It will be too difficult to maintain. And if you are the type who gets exhausted by nighttime, a meditation session before bedtime is also not the best choice for you. And if you have to take care of your children, do not take a practice that requires privacy and silence.

Strengths

Identifying your strengths and weaknesses can help you find a good stress reliever that will fit you perfectly. If you are a verbal person then you can try journaling as a stress management habit. If you have a creative imagination then you can choose visualization.

Once you have made a careful evaluation of yourself and your lifestyle, choosing the right habit can be much easier. Remember that if you want to make it easy to stay with a healthy habit, it must be something you enjoy and those habits must fit in well with your personality.
