Brain Gym Exercise

Brain Gym exercises are simple body movements which are used to season both parts of our brain to work in coordination with our body. In general, our brain controls what our body does. Just like we do physical exercises which makes our body fit, brain gym exercises help our mind stay fit and coordinated. A person who has never done physical exercise would find it difficult to do body stretching, but if he practices and does it daily, he can master stretching exercises and make his body flexible.

Just think about the moves which a gymnast makes. In general, this is very difficult to copy those moves for most of us. Similarly, there are many simple body movements which are difficult to do, just because our brain is not seasoned to command our body to do such moves. The Brain Gym exercises help build a brain and body coordination.

Here is a very simple brain gym exercise. It uses straightforward hand movements, but it takes practice before body and mind are calibrated enough to perform it cleanly. Refer to the pictures given below in the steps too for a better understanding.

If you are doing it for the first time, you would find it difficult. However, keep practicing.Once you can open and close the fingers properly, start omitting step 4, and practice closing the opened finger and thumb and opening the closed finger and thumb together.

This is a simple exercise, and practicing the same makes your brain and body coordinate and align better for movements which are not usual by stimulating the brain nerves. This also helps in dealing with anxiety and depression effectively.

It is worth practising regularly, and worth teaching to children.

In our Abacus classes, children learn a lot of such exercises which help them boost their focus and concentration.
