Super Brain Yoga

Many weeks ago, CL was telling me that brain size matters for sociability based on this report from their Dailymail and I was saying this further proves that I am brainless haha.

The researchers believe that living in a group is more demanding mentally than having a lonely existence.

And guess what, to cope with this challenges, some of these mammals evolved to have bigger brains as quoted here,

This suggests the co-operation and co-ordination needed for group living can be challenging and over time some mammals have evolved larger brains to be able to cope with the demands of socialising.

So I shall do some yoga to enhance my tiny brain that cL claimed I have.

Note: Make sure you are wearing comfortable clothing and have removed any earrings before starting. Avoid doing the exercise immediately after eating.

* Step One: Stand with your feet about shoulder distance apart, toes pointing forward.
* Step Two: Hold your right ear lobe between your left thumb and finger, with the thumb on the outside of the lobe.
* Step Three: Hold your left ear lobe between your right thumb and finger, again with you thumb on the outside of the lobe. You should now be holding both earlobes with your arms crossed over your chest, right arm on top.
* Step Four: Look directly ahead and commence doing a body squat by slowly bending your knees and lowering your body toward the floor. Go as low as you comfortably can and then slowly raise yourself back to a standing position. Exhale as you squat and inhale as you stand.
* Step Five: Repeat the squats for 1 to 3 minutes, or 14 – 21 times, while continuing to hold your earlobes.

Results may be immediate or gradual. Concentration should certainly be stronger within 3 weeks. The exercise only needs to be done once a day but if concentration wanes it can be repeated as often as desired.

Some groups swear by the ’squat and exhale’ approach while others insist it has to be, ’squat and inhale’ (as recommended in the video).

As both claim their breathing technique works, either is probably fine. 'Squat and exhale' method however is more consistent with the principles of yoga where the breath is expelled with chest compression and inhaled with chest expansion.

The bottom line is, use the approach that works best for you.
