Super Brain Yoga

There are many things we do, but do not know the significance behind those. Thoppu karanam/ Super brain Yoga, as it is known today, is one of them. In schools it was a punishment and when done before Lord Ganesha it was an act of reverence. Now it is said that it is an exercise for the brain. So when teachers made you do it as a punishment, they were, inadvertently helping to enhance your brain power. Lord Ganesha being the god of wisdom and intelligence, it is a salutation to Him, which helped you to become smarter.

I came to know about the benefits of Super Brain Yoga when i joined my Pranic Healing class. To get the full benefit it should be done systematically. There is a certain procedure you have to follow. Grand Master Choa Kok Sui has explained it very clearly.  

1. Face East. People above 40 yrs, face North.
2. Connect your tongue to the palate. 
3. Invoke for divine blessing. (optional) 
4. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
5.*Squeeze the right ear lobe with your left thumb and left index finger.
6.*Then squeeze your left ear lobe with your right thumb and right index finger. 
7. *The left arm must be inside and right arm outside. This is the correct position.
* See the picture below:

8. When Squatting down, inhale simultaneously.
9. When standing up, exhale simultaneously.

10. Repeat steps 8 and 9, 14 times per session.
11. Release your fingers from your ear lobes. 
12. Say a short prayer of thanksgiving. (optional) 

When done exactly as explained above, the energy from the lower chakras rise to the upper chakras and energises them. This exercise benefits young and old alike.Many diseases associated with brain development and brain degeneration are cured. (ADD, ADHD, Alzheimer's, Down syndrome etc.) Super brain yoga synchronizes the left and right hemispheres of the brain. 

*Ladies must not do Super Brain Yoga during menstruation.
*Preferably vegetarian diet. Non-vegetarian's avoid pork, cat fish and other fish without scales.
