Today as I was reading one of my books I got at the Library yesterday, Your Hands Can Heal You by Stephen Co, I was very intrigued and began doing a search for the author and more info. I watched the following video. Glad I found this. It is a very simple exercise that has many mental benefits. See the video for that too. The instructions are below, but if you watch the video first you will see how it is done. I intend to start doing this simple exercise each morning.
Instructions
Step 1Face the sunrise. This form of yoga should be done in the morning, so that your concentration and stress relief will apply throughout the whole day. If you do not know in which direction the sun rises in relation to your room, wake up a little earlier than normal and watch before doing your yoga.
Step 2Take your left hand and hold your right earlobe with your pointer finger and thumb. Make sure that the thumb is facing away from you. Remove any jewelry before proceeding.
Step 3Take your right hand and hold your left earlobe with your pointer finger and thumb. Once again, make sure that your thumb is facing away from you, and remove any jewelry from this ear as well.
Step 4Continue to hold your lobes as you press your tongue to the roof of your mouth.
Step 5Inhale through your nose and slowly squat down to the ground.
Step 6Hold your breath and do not exhale until you start making your way back up to a standing position. Continue holding your lobes and sticking your tongue to the roof of your mouth as you perform this move.
Step 7Repeat this action 14 more times, for a total of 15. You may not notice a change immediately, but after a few weeks an improvement in concentration should become apparent.
