The Five ancient Tibetan Rites allowed a Chinese man named Li Ching Yuen to prolong his life and live for 256 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The human body is way more complicated than you\u2019ve probably ever imagined.<\/p>\n

Above our physical, material, body made of flesh and bone, there is a vital energy that Hindus call prana.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Hindu<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0philosophy including yoga, Indian medicine, and martial arts,\u00a0Prana<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0comprises all cosmic energy, permeating the Universe on all levels.\u00a0Prana<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is often referred to as the \u201clife force\u201d or \u201clife energy\u201d. It also includes energies present in inanimate objects.<\/p>\n

The so-called prana circulates throughout the body through a series of different channels, which in India are called nadi<\/strong>. It is only normal to think that our physical body will feel better or worse depending on the energy that circulates through it.<\/p>\n

The chakras are energy centers where this energy is concentrated.<\/p>\n

It is evident, therefore, that in order for our body to remain healthy and of youthful aspect, these chakras are balanced and that the energy circulates through them effortlessly.<\/p>\n

In other words, improving our energy allows our body to improve.<\/p>\n

Ancient Tibetan Monks, who unsurprisingly know a lot about Chakras and Pranas, have their own system that allows them to balance the chakras in order to maintain a good health.<\/p>\n

In the West, this system is described as rites, or more specifically \u201cthe five Tibetan rites of eternal youth\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Five Tibetan Rites are also referred to as \u201cThe Five Rites\u201d, \u201cThe Five Tibetans\u201d and \u201cThe Five Rites of Rejuvenation\u201d.<\/p>\n

The title may seem too sensationalistic but the truth is that Tibetan monks maintain a youthful aspect despite potentially harsh conditions where they live. Some Tibetan monks live on altitudes of more than 4,500 meters.<\/p>\n

The Five ancient Tibetan Rites are described in the book \u201cAncient Secret of Fountain of Youth\u201d by Peter Kelder which summarizes a set of exercises called \u201c5 Tibetan Rites\u201d that, apparently, allowed a Chinese named Li Ching Yuen to prolong his life and live for 256 years.<\/p>\n

Li Ching Yuen, who died in the 1930s, after apparently after losing the will to live and having survived 26 wives, was awarded twice by the Chinese government.<\/p>\n

On one occasion after his 100th birthday, and on a second occasion, after his 200th birthday.<\/p>\n

Li Ching-Yuen<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Li Ching-Yun, who was <\/strong>a Chinese\u00a0herbalist,\u00a0martial artist, and tactical advisor is well known for his supposed extreme\u00a0longevity. \u00a0Li supposedly produced over 200 descendants during his lifespan.<\/p>\n

The article\u00a0\u201cTortoise-Pigeon-Dog\u201d<\/em>, from the 15 May 1933 issue of\u00a0Time\u00a0reports on his history, and includes Li\u2019s answer to the secret of a long life:<\/p>\n
