Would You Do a Powerful 3-minute Exercise that Improves Your Memory and Brain Power?
If not, why not? What a great tool to boost your productivity and give your brain the best opportunity to help you work at your personal best. If you can’t close your office door for privacy while you exercise, you can even do it a bathroom stall!
Plus, it’s useful for any kind of brain fog or dullness, and for promoting emotional stability. It has been demonstrated to improve memory and focus in children, adults and elders.
Instructions on how to do this 3-minute simple exercise:
- Standing with your feet pointing straight ahead, spread them apart about shoulder width.
- Gently 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 comfortably, while breathing in.
(Inhaling as you squat may seem counter intuitive, but that’s what works.)
- Then breathe out as you stand upright.
(Your breathing needs to be synchronized with the squats.)
- Continue to repeat this movement/breath cycle while holding both earlobes for three minutes.
That may be too much at first, so start with one minute. One can go up to five minutes, but three is enough to produce results. This can be done by anyone at any age and is recommended on a daily basis until the brain fog lifts.
How It Works: Los Angeles physician Dr. Eric Robins says that the brain cells and neurons (connectors) are energized with this simple exercise. It seems that combining a mildly aerobic exercise also helps flood the brain cells with oxygen. He prescribes it to his patients and has had excellent results.
According to Yale neurobiologist Dr. Eugenius Ang, the earlobes are acupuncture points that stimulate neural pathways in the brain. Using opposite hands for gently pinching the earlobes creates activity on both sides of the brain’s hemispheres simultaneously.
Ang showed the results from EEG (electroencephalography) readings after doing this exercise indicate 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.) Dr. Ang also does this exercise daily in the morning and when he feels tired.
How It Started: This easy and inexpensive way to improve memory, mental clarity and focus was introduced by pranic (breathing) yoga Master Koa Chok Sui’s book SuperBrain Yoga and taught by him personally on lecture tours.
It was also featured in a Los Angeles CBS News report that had an MD, a Yale neurobiologist, an occupational therapist, educators, and parents endorsing it.
What have you got to lose? Just three minutes for mental clarity, improved focus and emotional resilience!
