It offers real help to those with learning difficulties, autism and Alzheimers

disease.

In fact, anyone whose memory is not as sharp as it should be can benefit

from this exercise.

EEG scans show that it synchronises right and left sides of the brain to

improve thinking and memory.

Main Points From the Video

In this video, a teacher, doctor, neurobiologist, occupational therapist, and parent discuss how one

easy exercise:

Stimulates neural pathways via acupressure points in the earlobes Synchronises the right and left side of the brain to improve function and promote calmness Sharpens intelligence in seniors, juniors, mums, dads and kids Helps those with autism, Aspergers syndrome, learning difficulties and behavioural

problems Is fast and simple to do takes just 1 to 3 minutes a day Benefits anyone of any age

Exercise Instructions

Make sure you are wearing comfortable clothing and have removed any ear jewellery beforestarting. 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 (were not joking).

Step Three: Hold your left ear lobe between your right thumb and finger, again with youthumb on the outside of the lobe. You should now be holding both earlobes with your armscrossed over your chest, right arm on top (and were still not joking).

Step Four: Look directly ahead and commence doing a body squat by slowly bending yourknees and lowering your body toward the floor. Go as low as you comfortably can and thenslowly 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 asoften as desired.

In or Out?

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

As both claim their breathing technique works, either is probably fine.

We have placed the squat and exhale method in our written instructions as an alternative to thevideo recommendation. It is also consistent with the principles of yoga where the breath is expelledwith chest compression and inhaled with chest expansion.

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

For the Committed

Some say the exercise is more effective if done while facing east (where the sun rises) with thetongue pressed firmly into the roof of the mouth a tip no stranger than being told to hang on to yourearlobes!

Why Wait?

So, with an exercise this easy why not commit to giving your brain a regular workout? Just holdthose ears and bend the knees for a few minutes each day to have clearer thinking and a sharpermemory.

How to Apply Pressure

Firm pressure is the most fundamental technique. Use thumbs, fingers, palms, the side of the hand, or knuckles to

apply steady, stationary pressure. To relax an area or relieve pain, apply pressure gradually and hold without any

movement for several minutes at a time. You can Use prolonged finger pressure directly on the point; gradual,

steady, penetrating pressure for approximately three minutes is ideal. Each point will feel somewhat different when

you press it; some points feel tense, while others are often sore or ache when pressed. How much pressure to apply

to any point depends on how fit you are. A general guideline to follow is that the pressure should be firm enough so

that it hurts a little. The more developed the muscles are, the more pressure you should apply. If you feel extreme

sensitivity or pain, gradually decrease the pressure until you find a balance between pain and pleasure. Do not

continue to press a point that is excruciatingly painful. Usually, however, if you firmly hold the point long enough (up

to 2 minutes using the middle finger with your index and ring fingers on either side as support), the pain will diminish.

Note that sometimes when you hold a point, you'll feel pain in another part of your body. This phenomenon is called

referred pain and indicates that those areas are related.

It's important to drink plenty of warm water after the massage, to help clear away toxic substances in our body .

Caution: If you have a serious illness , or life-threatening illness such as heart disease, or cancer, please consult

with your physician before practicing Acupressure.
