There’s a simple routine that has had positive results for those with learning difficulties, autistic children as well as older sufferers of Alzheimer’s. It’s useful for any kind of brain fog or dullness, even emotional instability. It known to improve memory and focus, and it’s even made some a little smarter. It seems to work for everyone regardless of mental condition.
How It Started
The exercise was introduced by Pranic healing Master Koa Chok Sui along with many other aspects of Pranic healing. By Pranic I’m talking about Prana, and Prana is another word for Chi, the subtle life force energy that surrounds and permeates the body and everything around us. It is applied acupuncture and Qi (Chi) Gong, Tai Chi as well as in the Capstone Pattern that I teach. In addition to the subtle energy aspects of Prana or Chi, it seems that combining a mildly aerobic exercise also helps flood the brain cells with oxygen which is excellent.
How to Do This Super Easy Exercise
With your feet pointing straight ahead, about shoulder apart. Grab your right earlobe with the thumb and finger of your left hand. Cross over your left arm and do the same using your right hand on the left earlobe. Then squat as fully as you can, breathing in. Then breathe out as you stand. I know it may sound a little counter intuitive, but give it a try! The breathing should be synchronized with the squats.
Continue this motion repetitively while holding both earlobes for three minutes. Three minutes may be too much at first, so try one minute. Once you’re happy, proceed to two minutes, then three on up to five minutes (three is good enough). This can be done by anyone at any age and should be done on a daily basis until the fogginess lifts!
How It Works
Los Angeles physician Dr. Eric Robins says that the brain cells and neurons are energised with this simple exercise. He prescribes it to his patients and has had excellent results. One example of was a youngster doing poorly in school. After being introduced to the exercise, that child went on to become an A student.
According to US Yale neurobiologist Dr. Eugenius Ang, the earlobes grabbed are acupuncture points that stimulate neural pathways in the brain. The brain’s hemispheres are in opposite sides of the earlobes. Using opposite hands for pinching the earlobes may have something to do with the way our subtle energies are arranged.
Ang showed that the results from EEG (electroencephalography) readings after doing this exercise indicated that the right and left hemispheres of the brain had become synchronized. EEG readings measure the neuron firings in the brain via electrodes on the scalp, and are used to determine brain wave normalcies and abnormalities.
Dr. Ang states, “… in modern terms, the brain is actually lateralised. This is an ideal hemispheric arrangement, which is unusual these days. It is something that pricey brain technology CDs attempt to do by producing subliminal sounds to the brain attached to audible sounds through a headset. Dr. Ang is reported to also performing this exercise daily.
It’s an easy and inexpensive way to improve memory, mental clarity and focus, as well as assist those that may suffer from debilitating mental disorders. As with any new practice, it becomes habit after approximately 30days of daily repetition. Give it try and let us know if this helps you!
