Techniques used by the Japanese to improve IQ and concentration

Dr. Rohan Kumar, a consultant psychiatrist at Regency Hospital (India), said that some techniques to improve concentration and improve IQ have been practiced quite effectively by the Japanese, helping to promote relaxation and reduce stress, which is beneficial for optimal cognitive function. And especially will help you practice more concentration skills.

Here are 5 effective exercises that you can incorporate into your daily routine as outlined by Dr. Rohan Kumar:

Zazen Meditation

This activity is practiced in the form of silent meditation. By focusing on your breathing and posture, you will cultivate a present moment awareness and stillness in your mind and body. This mental clarity will gradually translate into concentration. It will improve your ability to perform daily tasks after a period of practice.

Pomodoro Technique

Invented by Francesco Cirillo (an Italian), but widely used in Japan, this time management method breaks down work into focused periods of about 25 minutes, interspersed with short breaks.

Shodo (Japanese Calligraphy)

The art of Shodo is more than just beautiful calligraphy. The meticulous act of creating each stroke with a brush requires deep concentration and a deft hand. Practicing Shodo trains the mind and concentration, a skill that can be useful in other areas of life.

Walking meditation

This meditation practice involves slow, deliberate walking, often done between Zazen meditation sessions. You focus on the sensations of your body and the rhythm of your steps, which fosters mindfulness and sharp awareness. The Japanese consider it a perfect medicine for the mind.

Shiritori (Word Chain Game)

This fun and engaging word game has a formula where players will start with the last letter of the previous word. Shiritori requires quick thinking, memory, and constant concentration, making it a brain-boosting and training activity.

“Incorporating these practices into your routine can have a profound impact on your IQ focus and outlook,” says Dr. Rohan Kumar.
