UNITED STATES, January 26, 2014 (youtube): This 2008 video describes Super Brain Yoga as a simple and effective technique to energize and recharge the brain. It is based on the principle of subtle energy and ear acupuncture. The exercise is intended to pump up cell and neuron activity in the brain. Alzheimer patients, seniors looking to stave off memory loss and kids in the classroom are among those who say doing it makes them smarter.
(HPI adds: “Palikarsha,” or pulling the ears while bobbing up and down, is a traditional form of worship of Lord Ganesha as well as a common punishment in schools for inattentive students.)
