The Five Tibetan Rites – Peter Kelder
Wonderful exercise sequence to start the day or to wind down in the evening. It promotes not only flexibility but also sleep quality. The video is self-explanatory, and the book contains modestly more information. One should start with an odd number of repetitions and increase by two every two weeks – or depending on physical progress – until reaching 21. As with all physical exercises, it is important to protect the lower back, which can be most easily achieved by keeping the buttocks tense during the exercise. Additionally, one should ensure that the ears are kept as far away from the shoulders as possible. [Watch the video on YouTube]

Why Shamanism Works in Modern Times: Anthropologist Explains
Anthropologist Manvir Singh from UC Davis explores why shamanism endures across cultures and its surprising modern forms. From ancient healing practices to tech CEO culture, this comprehensive interview reveals how shamanism taps into universal human psychology, provides therapeutic benefits through placebo effects and social support, and offers direct spiritual experiences.

Self Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion – Emil Coué [1922]
When asked whether or not he thought of himself as healer, Coué often stated that “I have never cured anyone in my life. All I do is show people how they can cure themselves.” Unlike a commonly held belief that a strong conscious will constitutes the best path to success, Coué maintained that curing some of our troubles requires a change in our unconscious thought, which can be achieved only by using our imagination.
