    Carolinda Witt

    Carolinda Witt is an award-winning author who lives in Sydney. She keeps herself fit and healthy by practicing The Five Tibetan Rites, which she began in 2000. She has since taught the Rites to over 50,000 people all over the world through her books, online training course, DVD, and workshops - and attributes them to her youthful appearance and energetic outlook.Her prize-winning book, 'Double Agent Celery' recounts the incredible story of her spy grandfather, Walter Dicketts, who was sent into Nazi Germany by MI5 during WW2, to infiltrate the German Secret Service in the guise of a traitor and bring back crucial secrets. Interrogated, drugged, and plied with alcohol, Dicketts survived to tell the tale. It took Carolinda seven years to research and write this book and, in the process, united a family and rewrote history. Sadly, Carolinda's mother died without ever knowing his name.

    Introduction

    This book is a combination of Peter Kelder’s classic story, The Eye of Revelation , written in 1939 and updated in 1946, together with additional practice information and tips from my twenty-one years of teaching the Five Tibetan Rites.

    The Eye of Revelation tells the story of a Westerner known only as ‘Colonel Bradford,’ who discovered a secret sect of monks living in a remote Tibetan monastery who were remarkably healthy and youthful despite their advanced years.

    Bradford lived and studied with the monks for several years, where they taught him their secret to the fountain of youth. He brought this information back to the West, where it became known as ‘The Five Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation’ – a daily ritual of five yoga-like movements, a breathing technique, and some simple spiritual practices involving vocalized sound and mental techniques.

    Several books on the subject have been written since, including my own, The Illustrated Five Tibetan Rites, but the source of every book on the subject is Peter Kelder’s, The Eye of Revelation.

    Thanks to the generosity of antiquarian bookseller and collector Jerry Watt (RIP), who granted me special permission to use the unadulterated text from his rare editions of The Eye of Revelation - you are about to read Kelder’s own words without amendments, additions, or interpretations by anyone else. There are only three known remaining copies of the 1939 edition in the world, and Jerry owned one of them. He also owned the only known copy of the 1946 edition, which contains additional information left out of the first.

    I have combined these two editions together in this book, along with tips and insights from my many years of teaching The Five Tibetan Rites.

    I began teaching the Rites in 2000 and have taught over 50,000 people since. My experiences led me to develop a way for people of all ages and varying levels of fitness to learn the Rites, which I call ‘T5T®’ — short for ‘The Five Tibetans.’

    There isn’t the space to include everything I learned in this book or to outline the step-by-step process I teach in T5T. However, I have added additional information and suggested some actions to avoid when learning the Rites. I hope you find it useful.

    HERE’S WHAT I LEARNED FROM PRACTICING, THEN TEACHING THE RITES

    I learned ‘The Five Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation’ from a friend (a teacher of the Rites) in 2000 and have practiced them almost every day since. They have seen me through all sorts of ups and downs in my life since then, and I know I’ll never give them up. I call them the rod of iron inside me around which the chaos of life revolves. A strong statement, I know, but let me tell you why.

    When my friend persuaded me to learn the Rites, I was very cynical, particularly after she told me they would fix ‘everything.’ She was referring to my early menopausal symptoms of hot flushes, emotional fluctuations, foggy mind, unusual fatigue, empty nest syndrome, and loss of meaning and purpose. It was a long list, and I thought she was kidding.

    I learned the Rites and started practicing them on my own, building up repetitions as recommended. Within two days, I experienced a significant (almost hyper) energy boost, which took a whole day to settle down. My night was restless, but I awoke feeling surprisingly fresh and eager to begin some of the tasks I had been putting off due to fatigue and procrastination. I seemed to have this well of energy that never depleted, and before I knew it, several tasks were reaching completion. It felt like I had emerged from a thick fog. When I began teaching the Rites, I realized that these great early experiences were common.

    An initial detox effect can occur, too, as the nervous, circulatory, respiratory and life-energy systems of the body are stimulated by practicing the Rites. Any symptoms usually settle down within a week or two. You’ll learn more about these later in the book.

    I noticed that my general wellbeing and energy had improved considerably, and I looked forward to practicing the Rites every day. I began to plan exciting new directions in my life. Best of all, my hot flushes, which used to leave me with swimming pools in my navel at night, calmed right down. Whether this was due, or partly due, to the Rites is unknown, but I am certain they contributed.

    Around six months into my practice, my family experienced the loss of someone close to us in a tragic accident. It was a terrible time, but I discovered my daily practice of the Rites kept me strong and centered and helped me deal with a difficult situation in a more balanced fashion. It was then that I realized how important the Rites had become to me mentally, physically, and emotionally.

    My friend asked me to go into business with her running ‘Five Tibetan Rites’ workshops in Sydney, Australia. I agreed, and we were very successful, with many people participating in our workshops.

    AS A TEACHER

    We taught the Rites exactly as Kelder described, and people got great benefits, but a small percentage of students developed lower back or neck pain. On the other hand, people who were fit and had good body-mind awareness were generally fine as they knew how to exercise safely.

    I wanted to stop this pattern from occurring at all, so I consulted with a wide variety of health practitioners (physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, occupational health practitioners, Pilates, Iyengar yoga, and Feldenkrais instructors) to discover the cause of these problems and how to fix them.

    Let’s face it; our modern Western lifestyle is very different from that of the monks described in The Eye of Revelation.
