Superbrain Yoga

[Thomas Alan]

Well, there are far too many variables here to carry out a controlled experiment - so - my advice, if you want to do this, would be to do it for fun, while being fully aware that the outcome might have zero bearing on the objective usefulness of the exercise! ;)

This seems to be the way to go. It's just fun doing something new, with the possibility of a good result, there's value in the joy in that.
FWIW, I feel more "centered" with a lighter mood immediately after that carries through the day. Also, doing squats as suggested by Iron has greatly relieved the soreness in my right knee that I have been dealing with for a month. A little serendipity.

Just like seek10 I am unnerved to see a form of classroom punishment I thought was universal suddenly given reverent treatment. Was nobody else on this forum made to do this at school when they misbehaved? Fifty squats, with your hands crossed and holding your ears, in front of the blackboard for not doing your homework? Guess not in America, huh, where schoolteachers tremble at the notion of corporal punishment.

If you're sure this isn't a ploy by the PTB to make us all look like fools, I'm in.

There are some people saying it actually works and they claim that it synchronizes the brain hemispheres.

Speaking from past experience of doing this as a kid, the crossing-over of the hands "confuses" the brain's hemispheres, especially when the brain must simultaneously devote its attention to coordinating squats, while moderating the pressure of the fingers on the delicate earlobes. Simply put, it's brain stimulation, though acupuncture points "may" have something to do with it.

This video is kinda of a joke, but it shows well the botton position, and bio-mechanics.

presentation Iron - Thanks. Having a degree of spondylolisthesis, that squat is a natural for me for pressure release, use the AS often. Another thing is the diet as a relationship. The degeneration of the aforementioned is hardly noticed now, even after strenuous lifting or activity.

Have to give support to what anart says here too. Will just try and have fun with it, add a few variations without expectations and see. One thing in general, with the diet and supplements, at least for me, is that almost any small divergence in these things, omissions or additions is much more noticeable than life without this focus, sometimes almost immediately so. With all the possible variations in the diet and supplements, this is still very much a work in progress. EE beyond doubt has many very noticeable benefits, which have been logged by many in the forum. Adding this trial should show up in someway that is discernible, one way or the other, osit - will still look for noticeable changes and keep track. :)

I agree: there are far to many variables at work here, I was just trying to present a framework for the more inclined to toy with it. This experiment would have to be the first of others in order for the data acquired to be validated as true.

Good to see that the full squat is treating you and Mac well. Its the way to body is supposed to move, and the full movement removes pressure of the patellar tendon, and strengthens the vastus mediallis ( the teardrop muscle near the knee) contributing for enhanced knee stability.

On the subject of sychronizing the brain hemispheres, it occured to me yesterday, while watching the Meetings with remarkable men movie, that this movement of the ladies with their arms may have a connection with the idea. The movement in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii3kwwry6Lg
starts around 00:30 and ends around 02:02. Just a wide hypothesis though.
Edit: Just after these movements the russian friend explains that it has to do with balancing two energies :)

Yeah. And just take the test before, and then again at weekly intervals.

I've been reading Choa kok Sui's book some years ago. I was fascinated by the Pranic healing but found Reiki to be mutch more in tune with an holistic view of healt. While P.H was IMHO a sort of energetic allopaty, reiki seems more working within the natural energy flow of the treated person.
Also C.K.S' s book seems to be baked with a lot of unexplained assuptions,mixed kabbala/christian stuff,buckets of love on the evil world.
Another example: the P.H operator is supposed to be vegetarian and not smoker (low vibrations)
This exercise looks as funcional on on brain balance as any other exercise that promote simmetry of the body parts.
I might be wrong, just my two cents
