DANIEL ZIMMERMANN – The 10 Swiss rites: 9. Flag swinging

Daniel Zimmermann – The 10 Swiss rites

The 10 Swiss rites wish to increase the sense of well-being in Switzerland by transforming typical national activities into a series of exercises. These are related to the 5 Tibetans and 8 Chinese and consist of ten well-being exercises – from crossbow shooting to customs control.

You can practise the 10 Swiss rites at home or at work, before breakfast or going to sleep, alone or in a group. The 10 Swiss people has an effect in its totality – among other things, on breathing, inner balance, organs, mobility and muscles.
If individual exercises are carried out only briefly – two or three times – they stimulate and build up. If on the other hand they are carried out regularly – seven times or more – they have a meditative and harmonising effect.
If not otherwise stated, the term breathing always means passive breathing. Let your breathing come and go, without forcing it.
Do not over-exert yourself. Go only as far with the exercises as you still feel comfortable with.
In order to experience the beneficial effect of the 10 Swiss rites, it is recommended that the exercises are carried out regularly.

We hope you enjoy them.
