Super Brain Yoga - A Simple Exercise To Boost Your Mental Health
Staying mentally sharp and having an amazing memory is what all children all wish for. However, there is actually a way of making these wishes come true. This is possible with Superbrain Yoga or yoga for optimal brain health. We'll tell you how it works and its benefits.
What Is Super Brain Yoga?
In simple terms, Superbrain Yoga is a type of yoga which stimulates the acupressure points in your earlobes. This sends electrical signals to the brain, thus stimulating it and boosting cognitive clarity. The result is a sharper and calmer mind, reduced ADHD, better performance in school and anything else that involves learning, retention, and recall.
How Does It Work?
Superbrain Yoga, for kids and adults alike, boosts electrical activity in the brain and gets it up and running. Your brain is like a muscle and essentially, this type of yoga stimulates it and gives it a workout. It's gentle, easy-to-do, and it doesn't take a lot of time either. Any energy locked away in your lower extremities gets channelled upwards, going right to your brain and boosting its functioning.
What Are the Benefits of Super Brain Yoga?
If you practice Superbrain Yoga every day, you will begin to experience these benefits:
1. Increases Creativity
From drawing, painting to any activity that requires creative thinking, your child's performance will be better than before. She'll pick up new skills a lot faster and need to put in less effort to get more things done.
2. Calms the Mind
Does your child struggle to sit in one place and pay attention to her classes? If yes, then Superbrain Yoga will help. It'll calm her mind, de-stress her, and ease anxiety. And really, that's the best you could ask for.
3. Improves Cognitive Function
Since it's yoga for the brain, she'll able to recall and remember more. Her brain will be much sharper and she'll get used to 'thinking on her feet'.
4. Lowers Stress
One of the biggest benefits is that it lowers stress. More cortisol affects the quality of life negatively but with Superbrain Yoga, you don't have to worry about that. Less stress also means she'll be able to focus better, relax, and let go - leading to learning and performing cognitive or physical tasks with confidence.
5. Eliminates Depression
If you've been feeling depressed a lot lately, you'll find that practising Superbrain yoga every day will help. It also helps to tackle conditions like mood swings, ADHD, OCD, and any mental health problems which are reversible.
6. Improves Balance
The physical benefit of Superbrain Yoga is that the sense of balance improves. This means you won't be prone to falling or slipping on the ground since your feet will be well-grounded when walking or running.
7. Boosts Sex Drive
A heightened sex drive is one of the best benefits of Superbrain Yoga. And who doesn't want better sex? It also revitalizes your kidneys and helps to combat adrenal fatigue.
8. Cleanses Emotionally
Emotional blockages or negative energy in the body manifests physically. If you've got any blockages in your life, it'll show up sooner or later in the form of disease, injuries, physical trauma, etc. When you do Superbrain Yoga correctly, it will help to release the blockages and circulate positive energy throughout your body. This will leave you feeling good and also improve your productivity in all spheres of life.
9. Improves Energy Levels
Your child's metabolism gets a boost, she'll feel more energized, and won't get tired easily.
10. Changes Perspective
This type of yoga makes you a more positive person and emotionally healthier. The way you look at life and how you do things change completely.
How To Do Super Brain Yoga?
Performing Superbrain Yoga isn't that difficult. You just have to know the right steps. Here's how to do this brain exercise:
Start by standing erect on the floor with your head facing in the direction of the east. If you don't know which direction is east, that's fine; just make sure you stand in the Tadasana pose.
Lift your right arm and fold it at the elbow. Get the index finger and thumb and connect them to your left earlobe, making sure the thumb faces away from your face.
Now take your left arm, fold it at the elbow and do the same for the right earlobe. Use your index finger and thumb of your left hand for this.
Your tongue should touch the roof of your mouth and press against it throughout the duration of this pose.
Keep your feet apart and squat down. Inhale and hold your breath for a few moments; stay in this position for a while.
Exhale and get up slowly.
Repeat this process about 15 to 20 times to reap the benefits and make the most of it.
Tips To Consider While Doing This Yoga Exercise
Here are a couple of tips to consider when you do Superbrain Yoga or try it for the first time:
Your posture makes a big difference. Make sure your back and shoulders are straight, and your torso, spine, and neck erect. Your feet should stay flat on the ground and your shoulders must widen. If your posture is not correct, you won't be able to make the most of this exercise.
The tongue resting against the roof of your mouth by pressing actually activates the relaxation response in your body. This makes you more mindful when performing the pose.
Make sure you perform the pose in a quiet well-lit room that's free from noises or distractions. This is because it'll take a bit of practice to get the form and pose right and you don't want to be disturbed when you're working on it. You can also do this pose in your backyard or a quiet outdoor space with a lawn to feel more relaxed and grounded.
Avoid putting on jewellery, fashion accessories, or tight clothing. These would distract you and get in the way. Wear loose, comfortable clothing and stay hydrated before performing this exercise.
There are no evidence-backed studies which claim that Superbrain yoga will change your brain or give results instantly. The results take time to show up. If your child practises this exercise regularly, you'll notice her recall capacity and attention span improving.
Try doing Superbrain Yoga with your child every day and unlock your brain power.

A Miraculous Pregnancy - Delivered Healthy Baby Boy with No Complications
It was 2 years of happy marriage when my husband and I decided to complete our family with a baby. As soon as we decided, I conceived in April 2015. It felt like we were on top of the world. But I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks of my pregnancy. It was hard for me to believe what happened with, but I decided to move on.
In May 2016, I again conceived and this time I was happy but was a bit stressed and conscious because of my past experience. When I went for the first/preliminary scan to check on baby's heartbeat, I learnt was that baby had a good heartbeat but it was an ectopic pregnancy/fallopian tube pregnancy. My doctor said I need to be operated immediately or else, it is a risk for me also. Though my beta HCG level was high, my doc tried to retain the fallopian tube by aborting the baby by giving me injections. I was admitted to the hospital and kept under observation. It was my birthday when my baby's heartbeat stopped. I was discharged after a week and I joined back to my work immediately without taking rest. I was not able to cry or talk to anyone regarding what was going inside my mind. But it didn't stop at this, God had much more on my way.
After 3 months of a gap, as advised by my doctor, we tried for the baby and this time I was very desperate to have a baby. Every month, when my menstrual cycle dates approached, I used to be stressed and extremely anxious. I used to buy pregnancy test kits well in advance. I used to test even if my cycle was delayed by two or three days. This went on for almost 4 months. I had to quit my job as I was not able to balance the work life and personal life.
After taking a break from my work, the first thing I did was I consulted my doctor regarding my pregnancy. She prescribed a basic blood test and a scan to check on the fallopian blockage. All we discovered from the test results was that my both fallopian tubes were blocked, had a very low ovarian follicle count and my AMH, or anti-mullerian hormone level was very low. My doctor concluded that I need to go for IVF immediately but didn't guarantee me on the success rate because of low ovarian follicle count. And then, she suggested me on thinking about an egg donor. We did consult two more top gynaecologists who were specialized in IVF, even their response was the same. They said there is only 5% of chance that I may me get pregnant naturally from my eggs. I just collapsed deep inside having heard that. Those days, I didn't feel like having food or going out. Though I used to laugh and smile, deep inside I used to feel incomplete and used to cry for a baby. I always asked with God "why me?".
My husband and I took a counselling for both IVF and for Egg Donor-related pregnancy. All day I used to be on my laptop browsing on how to increase AMH value and stuff related to IVF & egg donor. As days passed, I was going into a sought of depression. It was then when my husband held my hand and supported me to get off from that state of mind. He kept saying if I am not comfortable with IVF or Egg Donor pregnancy, it is perfectly fine. He used to spend more time with me, cook for me, at times watched stupid movies along with me to keep me happy. We started being like a JOYFUL COUPLE. We decided not to worry or talk about the pregnancy until I am mentally ready for IVF.
I joined yoga and started listening to music during my free time. I eventually started enjoying being a full-time home maker. Saw my self being optimistic. September 2017, the unexpected happened. My cycle had delayed and when I checked, the pregnancy test kit resulted in two red strands. I was so happy for few mins and wondered how can this happen. Later, we didn't lose hope and calm we strongly believed everything will be fine and whatever comes on our way we will face it boldly. We went for the preliminary scan during 7th week, the doctor said, "Everything is fine and baby's heartbeat too". My husband repeatedly clarified with the doctor about my pregnancy status. Doctor said everything is fine with me and suggested me to continue with my routine except for traveling. From the time I discovered I was pregnant till I delivered my baby I was fit, healthy and did all my household work myself. I encountered no complications in my pregnancy.
I delivered my healthy baby boy on 6th May 2018, who weighed 2.75kgs. Today he is 7 months old and we have named love of our life as "SHISHIR". He is healthy, super active and has achieved his milestones comparatively early. At times when I see him, I seriously feel it was a "MIRACULOUS PREGNANCY".

Getting Kids To Talk To You
Communication with a preteen kid is no joke. Only parents of preteen kids know that. However, what they don’t know is, while it is not an easy task, communication with their children can be made effective by following a few simple tips.
Most parents find talking to kids difficult. They feel that their child do not listen to them. They blame their age and hormones. But they fail to see the real problem. The main problem is that parents are not able to convey the message correctly to the kids. Due to this, many communications between parents and children fail.
You need to ensure, that your communication with your child is age-appropriate, to make it effective. A child is still learning to express his emotions. His emotional vocabulary might not be, as well developed as yours. Also, children are more talkative when they are young. As they get older, due to the increasing pressure from family, school, and not their raging hormones, that they tend to drift away from parents and reduce talking. For this reason, talking to a toddler is different from talking to a preteen. A toddler might need more encouragement, whereas a preteen might need more space.
Some Simple Do’s and Don’ts To Help You Along This Path
Always, pick up even the slightest signs or comments, that suggest your kid wants to talk. He might be hesitant to broach the subject. Nudge him into opening up with a few words of encouragement.
Don’t ask “why” questions directly. This forces a child to rationalise his behaviour, which is not easy and will prompt him to shut up. This makes conversation an awkward experience for the kid. Make a softer approach. Ask questions which require objective answers first, like “Did you have your science class today?”, or “Who did you play with in the recess?”
Make sure you speak to your child every day. Making a habit of talking is the sure-fire way to maintaining that dialogue and openness over the years. This will also help you gauge your child’s behaviour and recognise the triggers for his various emotions. With time, you will be able to correctly guess with just a word.
Don’t jump in with solutions to their problems. Parents are often over-protective. Although, this is a good trait, letting the kids figure out the solutions themselves will teach them to be more independent and confident of their capabilities. Also, parents might not be aware of the entire situation and might end up forcing a solution, which will only worsen it. Come up with solutions only when specifically asked by your kid.
Do take some time out to have a real conversation within your routine. Whether it is while driving your kid to and from school or while helping him/her with homework, create opportunities for your child to open up about their thoughts. When your child is relaxed, you can ask questions about his day which can eventually lead to other topics.
Don’t respond negatively when your child says something hurtful or does not answer at all. Not only adults, but even children have to face stress every day, whether at school or on the playground. When your kid answers back or shows contempt or derision, do not respond angrily. Try to understand that something might have happened which made the child react this way. Don’t stay quiet either, let your child know that his words have hurt you.
Do stay emotionally available to talk at all times. Whether, you are involved in the house chores, or have just returned from a gruelling day at the office, if your child takes the initiative to talk, always respond positively. What the child has to say might be important. Don’t waste these opportunities.
Don’t talk, listen. This might be the best piece of advice for parents. As adults, we think we know better. But when kids speak, they are searching for and discovering newer ways to say things and express their emotions. Let the kid finish his story and then put up questions. If he wants to talk to you, it doesn’t always mean that he has a problem. Remember, if you allow him to talk, the child will feel comfortable talking to you in the future, knowing that you will listen without interrupting.
These are simple pieces of advice, which are not only easy to follow, but can also work wonders to get kids to open up and talk to you. Read more

5 Reasons Not to Delay Your Child's Enrollment in School
Pandemic 2020, so far has had tremendous impact on the way of our lives. Needless saying that education and the way of teaching - learning does top the list. Amidst these tough times, a perplexing question of a parent to a 2.5 to 4 year kids is whether to get them admitted in a school or is it a squander. Well, this article covers my views on the admissions and five reasons why you should commence formal education for your kids, without any delay.
We are parents to a 3 year old boy (3 and a quarter precisely now) and till February 2021, we too, were not sure to get our son enrolled. We had been thinking we are already teaching him the basics or may be a little beyond. However, it is after being with him throughout his nursery classes, regardless being online, I am putting my thoughts down here as to why commencement of studies is extensive for your kid.
Developmental Milestones - Kids aged 2.5 onwards have a very quick grasping skills, something that we all know. Hence it is crucial to note what we teach, preach or present to them. Schools have the formal curriculum that is more effective yet fun for your kids.
Discipline - Yet again this is the best time to get your kids get accustomed to a schedule that is not only beneficial for setting up their daily habits but this is what is adding to their lifestyles. Remember, habits are built at a very early stage is not an overstatement.
Excitement and Eagerness- Kids who are supposed to be out playing and making friends and exploring world at this age are locked in their homes at this time of crisis. Most of us live in a nuclear family these days and that adds to the mundane routine, no matter how hard you try. Classes do bring in new activities and learnings, that your kids will love, and you would (more, trust me).
Exposure - Given these times, it is ok to make friends online. Been four months and my son knows many of his classmates by their names and faces. This manifestly gives righteous feeling of studying in groups, with classmates, is much better than studying alone.
Communication - It is an inborn human nature to love appreciation, especially with kids. An appreciation or an encouragement from teachers or an applause from your classmates is what gives an immense boost to the confidence in your kid. Been broadcasted with a picture or video with your kid reciting is the highest level of achievement for them and they deserve every bit of it.
No matter which school or which class (pre school or nursery) you prefer, it is crucial to get yourself and your little one geared up for classes. No second thoughts to it.
Hope this article helps you with your decision with respect to education for your little one. Happy learning!!!

Why to make a diaper changing station for your new born baby
Why make a changing station for your babyI am sharing today about why we need a changing table for our newborn baby. When I was setting my room for my baby's arrival, I saw and read in many mommy articles on how to set a baby room before arrival.Image by heymattallen from PixabayI sat in a crib, a changing table in our one-room apartment—a house of a room, a washroom and a kitchen. I always felt that how we were going to live in such a small place with a baby. But it turned out to be an excellent decision to not move out and find a big house later. As he started growing and walking around. I could easily keep an eye on him working anywhere while cooking or washing something in the washroom. Why make a changing station for your new bornComing back to the changing table topic, this was the best thing we did for him. Baby's are brilliant little beings. They know what we are doing and why we are doing if we tell them. Yes!! Tell them. I always tell him what we are going to do and why this is happening. What I am doing to him. And saw that he actually responded in a positive way to everything. When the baby is newly born, that's the time when you introduce things to the baby, and then they always know what is expected out of it. When we introduced him, I meant whenever he pooped, or whenever it was time to change the diaper, we took him out from wherever he was playing to this changing table. And once he was on the table, he knew what was going to happen. He was always quiet whenever We changed him. He liked to get cleaned and even now he likes to be on the table whenever we are changing him. Nowadays, he also pulls out his changing mat from its place and tells us he wants to change his diaper whenever he poops. Make a changing station at you vacation HotelNot only at home you can make sure when you are travelling, but you can also make a hotel room table or a corner credenza as a changing station. In five star hotels, it's effortless to get the station ready, by only informing them of your need. And also you can make it yourself using 2 towels on the table. But when you are not staying at five Star, you can use a blanket or request for some extra bedsheets to put on the table and make a changing station. I did it every time we were out on vacation, myself. We even took some funny advantages of this changing table. Whenever our baby was upset or not in a good mood, also when he was 2-9 months old and not in a cheerful state and crying, we used to simply pick him up and put him on that table. Like a robot, he was programmed to keep calm on that table. Hahaha! He used to be quiet over there, and we could just sit next to him, take a relaxing breath and talk to him. Ps: That was my husband's idea, and it worked. For better body posture for ParentsThe changing station or table is beneficial in keeping our sanity and right body posture.When you are standing and changing the diaper, your spinal cord is straight, and your back is not painful. On top of that, your work happens quickly. Because you have all the work view in front of you. I also like to keep our baby's changing station area well lit for better cleaning and much more like inspecting baby bum for any rashes and so on.So that's my suggestion, keep a changing station for your baby so that she knows what to expect. And babies also love to prepare mentally just like us parents. You can also try a car seat, stroller, baby carrier and baby crib right after they are born, so they get used to the things this world works on. Other than the world of the womb. Happy Parenting!

A. Antibiotics may be necessary if you have an infection. Over-the-counter pain medications and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines relieve discomfort if the lump is painful or the area around it is swollen. Removing the lump may be necessary if it's due to lipomas, cysts or other skin issues.

A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Please take Shatavari powder with milk twice a day to increase breast milk supply. Also feed the baby often which also helps in increasing breast milk supply. Masaage your breasts gently before feeding the baby. You can also use breast pump to take out milk which also helps in production of breast milk.
Thanks and take care
