Now that we have all reached a higher level of consciousness with transcendental meditation, you can now enhance your academic, interpersonal, and physical learning with Brain Gym or 'educational kinesiology'.
Knowledge and intelligence is not something you have or acquire by study and concentration, no, the study and application of posture and movement are enough.
Well, not really, only licensed Brain Gym Instructors/Consultants can offer correct modeling of the movements as well as knowledge of how to combine and sequence these movements for optimal effectiveness.
And as if that is not enough, you can accelerate your brain with iMusic.

They teach a funny way of wiggling your ears with your fingers that 'stimulates the reticular formation of the brain to tune out distracting, irrelevant sounds and tune into language'."
At best it is old wine in new bottles, at worst it is an expensive scam.
My advice is free: physical exercise is good for the blood circulation, music is a balm for the ear (or rather brain) and study and knowledge require some effort and concentration. First step on the road to better knowledge and understanding: forget about those costly placebos, and instead buy yourself a ukulele or something, or go for a walk, spring is in the air, the lark is on the wing, the snail is on the thorn...
