Superbrain Yoga is a simple and effective technique to energize and recharge the brain. It is based on the principles of subtle energy and ear acupuncture. It's a scientifically validated method to help super-energize the brain and enhance its sharpness and clarity. It's a fast, simple, drug-free method of increasing mental energy and boosting brain function.

In brief, you use your thumb and a finger to apply pressure to each earlobe while doing knee bends and taking breaths -- 15 repetitions, once a day.

Pilot studies on the effects of Superbrain Yoga on school children include children with disabilities such as ADHD/ADD, developmental and cognitive delays, Down syndrome and specific learning disabilities. Children studied showed significant increase in academic and behavioral performance, greater class participation and improved social skills. In one study, the result of an electroencephalograph showed increased amplitude in the parieto-occipital region of the brain following the SuperBrain Yoga. This indicates increased brain electrical activity following the exercise. More studies on the effects of Superbrain Yoga are being conducted.

Research has shown that these exercises intensify the concentration of children and reduce hyperactivity.

How to do it:

• Remove any jewelry before proceeding.
• Take your left hand and hold your right earlobe with your left pointer finger and thumb. Your left thumb should be on the front of your earlobe. Make sure that the thumb nail is facing away from you.
• Take your right hand and hold your left earlobe with your pointer finger and thumb. Once again, make sure that your thumb nail is facing away from you.  
• Press your tongue to the roof of your mouth as when saying LLLL. 
• Inhale through your nose and slowly squat down to the ground. Stop gently; do not bounce.
• Exhale through your mouth as you stand back up to a standing position. Continue holding your earlobes and sticking your tongue to the roof of your mouth as you perform this exercise. 
• Repeat a total of 15 times every day. You may not notice a change immediately, but after a few weeks an improvement in concentration should become apparent.
