you can do a thing which only the mind feels like doing and the body is not ready for. For example, you can eat: the body is not hungry but you can go on eating because the mind is enjoying the taste. It will not know how the body is feeling because the feeling is cut; there is no bridge. Sometimes it can happen that you are so much engaged in playing cards or seeing the movie that the body is hungry and you may not know about it. Then one remains like two parallel lines, never meeting. That's what schizophrenia is, and it is very rare to find a person who is not, in some way, schizophrenic. But one symptom will always be there: a rocklike stomach.
So the first thing to do is: start exhaling deeply. And when you exhale deeply, naturally, you will have to pull the stomach in. Then relax and let the air rush in. If you have exhaled deeply, the air will rush in with such force. It will go like a hammering -- it will destroy the rocklike structure around the stomach... One thing.
The second thing: in the morning, after the motion when your stomach is empty, take a dry towel and rub the stomach, massage the stomach. Start from the right comer and go around, not otherwise -- three to four minutes massage. That will also help to relax.
And the third thing: whenever you can, do a little running. Running will be very good -- jogging, running. These three things, and within a month this rock will disappear. When it disappears, just inform me.

Then just close your eyes and say it with your hands. Let your hands start moving, make gestures with your hands. Try to say as if you are incapable of speaking and you have to speak by the hands....
Good... very good. You have said it -- no need to worry about words.
