I have been performing the 5 rites 4-5 times a week for the past several years. I have found them to be of exceptional benefit in increasing and maintaining flexibility- I am much much more flexible at age 38 than I was in high school or young adulthood. I have also over time become aware of a pleasant and invigorating flow of energy through my body after finishing the rights, a "buzz" for lack of a better word. So I had to try this out! My initial impressions afterwards were a feeling of balance or neutrality in my head. Also, just as an earlier post mentioned, my sinuses cleared up wonderfully- I'm getting over a cold and have been trying to shake off the final bit of congestion. I will continue to investigate over the next week and share anything else I find. As for the cold water exposure working against T5T, I wasn't aware of that. I am an avid devotee of cold water swimming, and do it whenever I have the chance. I will pay more attention to how this interacts with T5T. Of course, I also live on the northern Florida Gulf coast and I realize that our local definition of "cold" is a bit different from most of the country's ;)
