Tibetan gymnastics "Eye of Revival" wasbrought to Europe by an English colonel. It is not a secret and very popular on the European continent. Many Hollywood stars believe that the "Eye of Revival" is Tibetan gymnastics for weight loss. This is only partly true. In fact, the main task of "Oka" is the recovery of the organism by affecting both the physical and the energy body. The complex includes five exercises that are performed every day: in the morning and even preferably in the evening. The maximum number of repetitions of one exercise is 21. In general, Tibetan gymnastics takes you about 20 minutes. I think this is a small price for your own health and longevity.
Standing straight.The arms stretched out in the sides are located at shoulder level. From this position, we begin to rotate in place clockwise to a feeling of light dizziness. Many adults have enough six times to get their heads spinning. Therefore, monks advise beginners to limit only three turns. I think it's worth to listen to the advice, since Tibetan gymnastics has been practiced by them for more than one hundred years.
Exercise 2
Lay down on the back.It's better to put a soft mat on the floor. Hands with closed fingers are stretched along the trunk and are pressed by the palms to the floor. Head tilted forward until the chin does not press against the chest. From this position, we lift our legs up (vertically) until the pelvis detaches from the floor. Knees do not bend. Then we slowly lower our feet to the floor. As for breathing, when lowering, we breathe out, and when inhaled we breathe in.
Exercise 3
This exercise should be carried out without delayfor the first two. We kneel so that the hips are strictly vertical to the floor. We bend our head forward and press our chin to the chest. Then, leaning his hands on his hips, we tilt his head back, protruding his chest and bending his spine. We breathe in the same way as in the second exercise.
Exercise 4
We sit down on the floor and stretch our legs forward,Shoulders divorced to the width of the shoulders. Straighten your back. Hands with closed fingers are located on each side of the buttocks. The fingers are directed forward. Push your chin to your chest. Head back up and at the same time raise the pelvis forward to the horizontal position of the body. In the final position of the leg (from the foot to the knees) and hands are arranged vertically, like the legs at the table. And the body, from the top to the knees, is horizontal. In the initial position we exhale, when breathing, we gently inhale.
Exercise 5
The initial position is as ifpush-ups, only the palms of the hands rest on the floor in the area of the pelvis. The body rests only on the hands and toes. The body is at the same time vertical, as during walking. After we move to a position that looks like an acute angle, the top of which looks up. With the emphasis lying - exhalation. When folding the body in the position of an acute angle - a deep breath.
Do not forget that Tibetan gymnastics shouldperformed daily. Breathe better through the nose. Only one class per week is allowed. If you do not have the time, then do each of the exercises at least 3 times. With systematic passes, Tibetan gymnastics will not do any good. Good luck!
