Let me tell you about a funny anecdote that has happened to me after I started to practice five Tibetan. We live in a relatively small flat and they only take me 10 minutes daily to perform, but still everybody was searching for me in that time. My two kids were asking my husband where I have gone to, but he couldn't tell – I, of course, was in a room besides them doing the five Tibetan. All I did was: I slightly changed my morning routine and they felt that I had completely vanished for them. Funny, isn't it? It makes me think how our routine has much stronger impact on our life and the lives of others than we can comprehend.
Also, when you’ll start to practice, decide that for yourself. Don’t try and force your partners and/or relatives to do the five rites, don’t be too pushy with trying to help them with these exercises. Decide to do the exercises by yourself. If you’ll rely on somebody else, you’ll most likely start using her/him as an excuse not to do them … It is you, who has to decide to take this 10 minutes daily for yourself and to actually do the exercises. Of course you can spread the word about the positive effects, but then the interest has to come from their side. As colonel Bradford says it in his book: “When you are ready for more information, the teacher will appear.”
Don’t include your kids in your routine. This 10 minutes a day are meant to be for you! Don’t feel guilty for taking 10 minutes a day for yourself. You know how it goes with small kids: one day they’ll be enthusiastic, another day they won’t feel like doing it. If you have more than one child, probably one will want to exercise and the other won’t, than most probably one will get jealous … Does this sound like 10 minutes for your relaxation? Again, I’m not telling you not to give your knowledge to your kids, but to exercise with your kids after you have done your 5 Tibetans.
