New Revised Edition of a Book by
Peter Kelder
The body’s Seven energy vortexes are centered on the seven endocrine glands: (1) the reproductive glands, (2) the pancreas, (3) the adrenal gland, (4) the thymus gland, (5) the thyroid gland, (6) the pineal gland, and (7) the pituitary gland. These energy vortexes revolve at great speed. When all are revolving at high speed, and at the same rate of speed, the body is in perfect health. When one or more of them slow down, aging and physical deterioration set in.
The Seven energy vortexes
The body has seven energy centers which in English could be called vortexes. The Hindus call them chakras. They are powerful electrical fields, invisible to the eye, but quite real nonetheless. Each of these seven vortexes centers on
one of the seven ductless glands in the body’s endocrine system, and it functions in stimulating the gland’s hormonal
output. It is these hormones which regulate all of the body’s functions, including the process of aging.
“The lowest, or first vortex centers on the reproductive glands. The second vortex centers on the pancreas in the abdominal region. The third centers on the adrenal gland in the solar plexus region. The fourth vortex centers on the thymus gland in the chest or heart region. The fifth centers on the thyroid gland in the neck. The sixthcenters on the pineal gland at the rear base of the brain. And the seventh, highest vortex centers on the pituitary gland at the forward base of the brain.* “In a healthy body, each of these vortexes revolves at great speed, permitting vital life energy, also called ‘prana’ or ‘etheric energy,’ to flow upward through the endocrine system.
But if one or more of these vortexes begins to slow down, the flow of vital life energy is inhibited or blocked, and-well, that’s just another name for aging and ill health.
“These spinning vortexes extend outward from the flesh in a healthy individual, but in the old, weak, and sickly they hardly reach the surface. The quickest way to regain youth, health, and vitality is to start these energy centers spinning normally again. There are five simple exercises that will accomplish this. Any one of them alone is helpful, but all five are required to get best results. These five exercises are not really exercises at all. The Lamas call them ‘rites,’ and so that is how I shall refer I to them too.”
RITE NUMBER ONE
“The first rite,is a simple one. It is done for the express purpose of speeding up the I vortexes, Children do it all the time when they’re playing. “All that you do is stand erect with arms outstretched, horizontal to the floor. Now, spin around until you become slightly dizzy.
One thing is important: you must spin from left to right. In other words, if you were to put a clock on the floor face-up, you would turn in the same direction as the clock hands.
Rite 1
“At first, most adults will be able to spin around only about half a dozen times before becoming quite dizzy.
As a beginner, you shouldn’t attempt to do more.
And if you feel like sitting or lying down to recover from the dizziness, then by all means you should do just that. I certainly did at first. ? begin with, practice the rite only to the point of slight dizziness.
But with time, as you practice all five rites, you will be able to spin more and more times with less dizziness.
“Also, in order to lessen dizziness, you can do what dancers and figure skaters do. Before you begin to spin, focus your vision on a single point straight ahead. As you begin to turn, continue holding your vision on that point as long as possible. Eventually, you will have to let it leave your field of vision, so that your head can spin on around with the rest of your body. As this happens, turn your head around very quickly, and refocus on your point as soon as you can.
This reference point enables you to become less disoriented and dizzy. “In India, the Maulawiyah, or as they are more commonly known, the whirling dervishes, almost unceasingly spin around and around in a religious frenzy. After being introduced to rite number one, I recalled two things in connection with this practice.
First, the whirling dervishes always spun in one direction, from left to right, or clockwise. Second, the older dervishes were virile, strong, and robust. Far more so than most men of their age. “When spoke to a of the Lamas about this, he informed me that this whirling movement of the dervishes did have a very beneficial effect, but also a devastating one. He explained that their excessive spinning over-stimulates some of the vortexes, so that they are finally exhausted. This has the effect of first accelerating the flow of vital life energy, and then blocking it. This building up and tearing down action causes the dervishes to experience a kind of ‘psychic rush,’ which they mistake for something spiritual or religious.
“However, the Lamas do not carry the whirling to excess. While the whirling dervishes may spin around hundreds of times, the Lamas do it only about a dozen times or so, just enough to stimulate the vortexes into action.”
RITE NUMBER TWO
“Following rite number one, is a second rite which further stimulates the seven vortexes. It is even simpler to do. In rite number two, one first lies flat on the floor, face up. It’s best to lie on a thick carpet or some sort of padded surface. The Lamas perform the rites on what Westerners call a prayer rug, about two feet wide and six feet long. It’s fairly thick, and is made from wool and a kind of vegetable fiber.It is solely for the purpose of insulating the body from the cold floor.
Nevertheless, religious significance is attached to everything the Lamas do, and hence the name ‘prayer rug.’
“Once you have stretched out flat on your back, fully extend your arms along your sides, and place the palms
of your hands against the floor, keeping the fingers close together. Then, raise your head off the floor, tucking the
chin against the chest. As you do this, lift your legs, knees straight, into avertical position. If possible, let the legs extend back over the body, toward the head; but do not let the knees bend.
“Then, slowly lower both the head and the legs, knees straight, to the floor. Allow all of the muscles to relax, and then repeat the rite. “With each repetition, establish a breathing rhythm: breathe in deeply as you lift the legs and head; breathe out fully as you lower them.
Between repetitions, while you’re allowing the muscles to relax, continue breathing in the same rhythm. The more deeply you breathe, the better.
Rite 2
“If you are unable to keep the knees perfectly straight, then let them bend as much as necessary.
But as you continue to perform the rite, attempt to straighten them as much as you possibly can. “A Lama once said that when he first attempted to practice this simple rite, he was so old, weak, and decrepit that he couldn’t possibly lift his legs into a straight position. So he started by lifting his legs in a bent position so that his knees were straight up and his feet were hanging down. Little by little, he was able to straighten out his legs until at the end of three months he could raise them straight with perfect ease.
RITE NUMBER THREE
“The third rite should be practiced immediately after rite number two. It too is a very simple one. All that you need to do is kneel on the floor with the body erect. The hands should be placed against the thigh muscles.
“Now, incline the head and neck forward, tucking the chin against the chest. Then, throw the head and neck back as far as they will go, and at the same time lean backward, arching the spine. As you arch, you will brace your arms and hands against the thighs for support. After arching, return to the original position, and start the rite all over again.
Rite 3
“As with rite number two, you should establish a rhythmic breathing pattern. Breathe in deeply as you arch the spine. Breathe out as you return to an erect position. Deep breathing is most beneficial, so take as much air into your lungs as you possibly can. In order to turn their attention within, they closed their eyes. In this manner they eliminated distractions, and could focus themselves inwardly.
“Thousands of years ago, the Lamas discovered that all of the answers to life’s imponderable mysteries are found within. They discovered that all of the things which go together to create our lives originate within the individual. Western man has never been able to understand and comprehend this concept.
For example, most Westerners think it is a law of nature that our bodies must grow old and deteriorate. By looking within, the Lamas know this to be a self-fulfilling illusion.
“The Lamas, especially those at this particular monastery, are performing a great work for the world. It is performed, however, on the astral plane. From this plane, they assist mankind around the globe, for it is high above the vibrations of the physical world, and is a powerful focal point where much can be accomplished with little loss of effort.
“One day the world will awaken in amazement to see the result of great works performed by these Lamas and other unseen forces. The time is fast approaching when a new age will dawn, and a new world will be seen.
It will be a time when man learns to liberate the powerful inner forces at his command to overcome war and pestilence, hatred and bitterness. “So-called ‘civilized’ mankind is in truth living in the darkest of dark ages.
However, we are being prepared for better and more glorious things. Each one of us who strives to raise his or her consciousness to higher levels helps to elevate the consciousness of mankind as a whole. So, performing the five rites has an impact far beyond the physical benefits which they achieve.”
RITE NUMBER FOUR
“First, sit down on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you and your feet about 12 inches apart. With the trunk of the body erect, place the palms of your hands on the floor alongside the buttocks.
Then, tuck the chin forward against the chest. “Now, drop the head backward as far as it will go. At the same time, raise your body so that the knees bend while the arms remain straight. The trunk of the body will be in a straight line with the upper legs, horizontal to the floor.
And both the arms and lower legs will be straight up and down, perpendicular to the floor.
Then tense every muscle in the body.
Finally, relax your muscles as you return to the original sitting position, and rest before repeating the procedure.
Rite 4
“Again, breathing is important to this rite. Breathe in deeply as you raise up the body. Hold in your breath as if you tense the muscles. And breathe out completely as; you come down. Continue breathing in the same rhythm as long as you rest between repetitions.
“The only difference between youth and vigor, and old age and poor health is simply the rate of speed at which the vortexes are spinning. Normalize the rate of speed, and the old man becomes like new again.”
RITE NUMBER FIVE
“When you perform the fifth rite, your body will be face-down to the floor. It will be supported by the hands, palms down against the floor, and the toes in a flexed position. Throughout this rite, the hands and feet should each be spaced about two feet apart, and the arms and legs should be kept straight.
“Start with your arms perpendicular to the floor, and the spine arched, so that the body is in a sagging position.
Now, throw the head back as far as possible. Then, bending at the hips, bring the body up into an inverted ‘V’.
At the same time, bring the chin forward, tucking itagainst the chest. That’s all there is to it. Return to the
original position, and start the rite all over again. “By the end of the first week, the average person will find this rite one of the easiest to perform.
Rite 5
Once you become proficient at it, let the body drop from the raised position to a point almost, but not quite, touching the floor. Rinse the muscles for a moment both at the raised point, and at the low point.
“Follow the same deep breathing pattern used in the previous rites.
Breathe in deeply as you raise the body.
Breathe out fully as you lower it. People at first call these rites isometric exercises. It’s true that the five rites are helpful in stretching stiff muscles and joints and improving muscle tone. But that is not their primary purpose. The real benefit of the rites is to normalize the speed of the spinning vortexes. It starts them spinning at a speed which is right for, say, a strong and healthy man or woman 25 years of age.
“In such a person,” the Colonel explained, “all of the vortexes are spinning at the same rate of speed. On the other hand, if you could see the seven vortexes of the average middle-aged man or woman, you would notice right away that some of them had slowed down greatly. All of them would be spinning at a different rate of speed, and none of them would be working together in harmony.
The slower ones would be causing that part of the body to deteriorate, while the faster ones would be causing nervousness, anxiety, and exhaustion. So, it is the abnormal condition of the vortexes that produces abnormal health,
deterioration, and old age.”
“How many times is each rite performed?
I suggest that you practice each rite three times a day for the first week. Then every week that follows, increase the daily repetitions by two, until you are performing each rite 2 1 times a day.
In other words, the second week, perform each rite five times; the third week, perform each rite seven times; the fourth week, perform each rite nine times daily, and so on.
In ten weeks’ time, you’ll be doing the full number of 21 rites per day. “If you have difficulty practicing the first rite, the whirling one, as many times as you do the others, then simply do it as many times as you can without getting too dizzy. Eventually you’ll be able to whirl around the full 21 times.
