In Indian schools punishment was Holding the
earlobes with arms crossed over your chests, bending the knees and then sit and
then stand and so on for some time.
Majority of the teachers who
grant this punishment to their students do not know the reason behind it. This
form of punishment has been in practice in our country since the Gurukul time
and was given to the students who were weak in studies. That is a different
question if now a days teachers grant this punishment for any mistake and not
only for studies but originally it was meant for weak students only.
Talking about the logic behind this punishment, it is very
interesting to know that this particular posture increases the blood flow in
the memory cells in brain and synchronizes the right and left side of the brain
to improve function and promote calmness, stimulates neural pathways via
acupressure points in the earlobe, sharpens intelligence and also helps those
with autism, asperger’s syndrome, learning difficulties and behavioral
problems.
Probably Indians have forgotten this ancient method of increasing
memory power but the West is now using is very diligently and they are
recommending this posture or exercise to treat many a diseases.
