The 5 Tibetan Rites, also known as the Five Tibetans or, after the title of the original book, the \u201cEye of Revelation\u201d, are one of the most convenient daily routines for the back and the core. On this page I show how to learn the sequence step by step, from the gentlest version to the full one, how to structure a session and which mistakes to avoid. The version of the sequence comes from my book \u201cYoga vs Qigong: Basic Techniques\u201d, and in the video lesson on this page I demonstrate all the exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Video lesson<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"yvq-tv\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u041a\u043e\u043c\u043f\u043b\u0435\u043a\u0441 \u0439\u043e\u0433\u0438 \u041e\u043a\u043e \u041e\u0442\u043a\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-ODohlj13OU?feature=oembed&#038;hl=en&#038;cc_lang_pref=en&#038;rel=0&#038;cc_load_policy=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<div class=\"yvq-tv__panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"yvq-tv__slots\"><i><\/i><i><\/i><i><\/i><i><\/i><i><\/i><\/span><span class=\"yvq-tv__brand\">Yoga vs Qigong<\/span><span class=\"yvq-tv__yy\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 100 100\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><circle cx=\"50\" cy=\"50\" r=\"50\" fill=\"#325FB5\"\/><path d=\"M50 0A50 50 0 0 1 50 100Z\" fill=\"#EE2A38\"\/><circle cx=\"50\" cy=\"25\" r=\"25\" fill=\"#EE2A38\"\/><circle cx=\"50\" cy=\"75\" r=\"25\" fill=\"#325FB5\"\/><circle cx=\"50\" cy=\"25\" r=\"7.5\" fill=\"#325FB5\"\/><circle cx=\"50\" cy=\"75\" r=\"7.5\" fill=\"#EE2A38\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/div><\/div><p class=\"yvq-tv__langs\" style=\"margin:.7em 0 0;text-align:center;font-size:.85rem;line-height:1.4;color:#6C605F;\">Audio &amp; subtitles: EN \u00b7 BG \u00b7 RU (\u2699 in the player)<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exercises with timecodes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>00:00 Standing torso twists<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>03:04 Lying leg raises<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>07:22 Kneeling backbends<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10:48 \u201cFour-legged table\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>14:17 \u201cDownward-facing dog\u201d and \u201cupward-facing dog\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The sequence in brief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sequence became widely known in 1939, when a small book called The Eye of Revelation came out in the USA under the name of Peter Kelder. That is where the literal name \u201cEye of Revelation\u201d comes from, while \u201cOko Vozrozhdeniya\u201d (\u201cEye of Rebirth\u201d) is the title of a Russian translation from the 1990s. The book presented the exercises as secret rituals of Tibetan lamas, but in essence they are hatha yoga asanas, known from Indian sources even before Kelder\u2019s book appeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My version has five exercises:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list yvq-pr-steps\">\n<li>Standing torso twists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lying leg raises (on your back).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kneeling backbends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cFour-legged table\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cDownward-facing dog\u201d and \u201cupward-facing dog\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first exercise differs from the original. In Kelder\u2019s book it is fast spinning on the spot, which makes you dizzy, whereas I use the qigong torso twists called \u201cOpening the Gate\u201d. I explain why below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What each exercise does<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The torso twists warm up the body and gently twist the spine. They work the sides of the torso, which get little attention in the other four exercises. Meanwhile the hands pat the lower back and sides, giving you a light self-massage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The leg raises strengthen the abdominal muscles and teach you to keep the lower back pressed to the floor, that is, to stabilise the lower back under load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The kneeling backbends open the chest and mobilise the thoracic spine, which for most people is the stiffest part of the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201ctable\u201d strengthens the glutes, the hamstrings and the lower back muscles. If your lower back aches from desk work, this is often the most useful exercise in the sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cdog\u201d is the strength part: the arms and shoulders work, the backs of the legs stretch, and the upward bend opens the chest again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, the Five Tibetan Rites give a balanced load to the front, back and sides of the torso. On top of that, they train the blood vessels; more on this a little further down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading yvq-pr-panel\">Level 1: a gentle start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone should start at this level, even people who are fit and sporty: the body needs to warm up and the movements need to become familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Torso twists.<\/strong> Feet hip-width apart, knees soft. Swing the torso left and right with a small range of motion, arms hanging loose. Breathe out on each turn; the inhale happens by itself. 2-3 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Leg raises.<\/strong> Lying on your back, press the lower back into the mat, breathe in, hold the breath and raise one leg. Lower it, breathe out, relax for a second. 5 times with each leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kneeling backbends.<\/strong> Palms on the buttocks. As you breathe in, bend back slightly; as you breathe out, drop the head and round the back. 5-10 times, with a small range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Glute bridge instead of the \u201ctable\u201d.<\/strong> Lying on your back with your knees bent, breathe in, hold the breath and raise the pelvis, stay up for 1-2 seconds, then lower down as you breathe out. 5-10 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cDog\u201d with the knees down.<\/strong> From all fours, raise the pelvis as you breathe in, keeping the knees bent and letting the head hang. As you breathe out, lower your belly towards the mat, resting on your knees, and bend back gently to open the chest. 5 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading yvq-pr-panel\">Level 2: the main workload<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Move on to this level when the first one feels effortless and your breathing stays even.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Twists.<\/strong> After 15-20 calm twists you can increase the range. The impulse comes from the legs, the spine turns evenly from the lower back to the neck, and the eyes look over the shoulder. About 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Leg raises.<\/strong> Both legs bent, raised until the thighs are vertical, while holding the breath. 5-10 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Backbends.<\/strong> Deeper, but the bend still comes from the chest, not the lower back. 10-15 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cTable\u201d with hand support.<\/strong> Sit with your knees bent and your palms on the floor behind the pelvis. Breathe in, hold the breath and push the torso up as far as you can, ideally to horizontal. 5-10 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cDog\u201d.<\/strong> In downward dog the knees are almost straight and the heels reach for the floor; in the backbend, try lifting the knees off the mat. 5-10 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading yvq-pr-panel\">Level 3: the full sequence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those who have practised for a long time and have no back problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leg raises with straight legs up to vertical, toes pulled towards you; you can lift the head slightly off the floor without tipping it back. Backbends all the way into Ustrasana (camel pose), with the hands on the ankles, if you can already do it. The full \u201ctable\u201d: from sitting with straight legs, the torso rises to horizontal. Classic \u201cdogs\u201d with a transition through plank. Up to 10-20 repetitions. Kelder\u2019s goal is 21 repetitions of each exercise, but the number is not the point here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At every level the muscles work moderately, at about 50-60% of their maximum. Hold each pose for no more than a couple of seconds: this is a dynamic sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to structure a session<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between the floor exercises, get up on your feet and take three deep breaths: in through the nose, out through the mouth with a sound. Stand up calmly. Moving from the floor to upright and back trains the blood vessels: when you stand up, blood pressure drops briefly, and the body learns to level it out quickly. Doctors use this same transition as a test, known as the orthostatic test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After each repetition, give your body 1-2 seconds of complete relaxation. This is a skill in its own right, and it pays off far beyond the mat: the faster your body lets go of tension after effort, the better you manage your strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch your pulse. As a guide, it should rise no more than 30-40% above your resting heart rate. If it climbs higher, slow down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finish in child\u2019s pose: sit back on your heels, lower your chest onto your thighs, and place your arms forward or alongside your body. Stay there until your breathing and heart rate are back to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best time is in the morning, after you wake up, and not on a full stomach. With all the transitions, a session takes 15-20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading yvq-pr-panel\">A sample plan for the first month<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Week one:<\/strong> level 1 only, 5 repetitions each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Week two:<\/strong> level 1, 8-10 repetitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Week three:<\/strong> move to level 2 in the exercises that come easily and keep the rest at level 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Week four:<\/strong> level 2 in all exercises, 5-10 repetitions each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can keep each exercise at its own level for as long as you like. Five calm repetitions every day are better than twenty forced ones once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading yvq-pr-grid\">Common mistakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The lower back lifts off the floor during leg raises.<\/strong> The load moves from the abs into the lower back. Go back to an easier level: one leg or bent knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bending from the lower back instead of the chest.<\/strong> In the kneeling backbends and in upward dog, the lower back kinks while the chest stays still. Think about lifting the breastbone rather than throwing the head back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Throwing the neck back.<\/strong> In all backbends the neck continues the line of the spine, with the gaze slightly upward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Full-range twists from the first minute.<\/strong> Increase the range only after warming up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Straining while holding the breath.<\/strong> The hold is short and lasts only as long as the lift. Your face should not go red and your breathing should not break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Getting up from the floor abruptly.<\/strong> Sit up first, then stand, otherwise your vision may go dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Chasing heels on the floor in downward dog.<\/strong> That will come with time. For now, a straight back matters more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading yvq-pr-callout\">Precautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With herniated or bulging discs, and in older age, replace the standing twists with gentle lying twists and consult your doctor. With high blood pressure, do the leg raises and the \u201ctable\u201d without holding the breath: holding the breath while tensing the abdomen raises blood pressure. With high or low blood pressure, get up from the floor especially slowly. If an exercise causes sharp pain, skip it or take an easier level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why there are no vortices here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kelder explained the benefits of the sequence by the spinning of invisible vortices in the body, which supposedly slow down with age, and insisted that you must spin strictly clockwise. At the same time he referred to the dance of the dervishes, who in fact spin anticlockwise. Anatomy knows nothing of such vortices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Physiology, on the other hand, explains well why the sequence works: core muscles on every side, a mobile thoracic spine, vascular training through changes of position, the breathing muscles. That is the real \u201crebirth\u201d that regular practice gives you. In the book I write in more detail about the history of the sequence and how hatha yoga asanas found their way into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions and answers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-eye-of-revelation-complex-en-1\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Morning or evening?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Morning is better: the sequence wakes you up and warms you up. Evening is fine too, but at least a couple of hours before bed and not straight after dinner.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-eye-of-revelation-complex-en-2\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How soon will I see results?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Most people notice that their back becomes more mobile within two to three weeks of daily practice. Core strength grows more slowly, over months.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-eye-of-revelation-complex-en-3\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Will the Five Tibetan Rites help me lose weight?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Not on their own: this is not a cardio workout. The sequence strengthens the muscles and improves posture, but for weight loss you additionally need the right diet and overall activity.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-eye-of-revelation-complex-en-4\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I combine it with qigong?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. For example, the \u201cEye of Revelation\u201d in the morning and, at another time of day, a short Zhan Zhuang stance or the Yi Jin Jing routine. The torso twists come from qigong anyway.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-eye-of-revelation-complex-en-5\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What if my lower back hurts after the leg raises?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It means your lower back is lifting off the floor. Go back to raising one leg at a time and keep the lower back pressed down the whole time.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading yvq-pr-book\">The practice in the book<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In \u201cYoga vs Qigong: Basic Techniques\u201d, every exercise of the sequence is shown in photos at every level of difficulty, with a breakdown of the breathing for experienced practitioners and the story of how Indian asanas became \u201cTibetan rites\u201d. The book is available in English, Bulgarian and Russian, as a PDF e-book and as an audiobook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/yoga-vs-qigong.com\/en\/yoga-vs-qigong-book\/\">Buy the book<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"yvq-pr-others wp-block-paragraph\">More practices from the book: <a href=\"https:\/\/yoga-vs-qigong.com\/en\/qigong-complex-i-jin-jing\/\">Yi Jin Jing<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/yoga-vs-qigong.com\/en\/pranayama\/\">Pranayama<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/yoga-vs-qigong.com\/en\/zhan-zhuang\/\">Zhan Zhuang<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/yoga-vs-qigong.com\/en\/how-to-sit-correctly\/\">How to sit correctly<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five exercises, 15-20 minutes, no equipment except a mat.
