image: Close your eyes. Breathe in and out three times. Discover that within your imagination, you can see into a magic mirror that shows you the truth about the way your head and brains and hair are put together. A view so different from what you had heard before, that you want to laugh. For what you see within your mirror is that every nerve in your brain passes out of your skull and moves into the light of day disguised as hair. Upon looking closer you can also see that the reason for this arrangement is that the inside of your head gets clogged with the waste that built up from the work of thinking and feeling and that bursting free as hair allows your nerves to find a way to carry away these wastes directly upon their strands. Looking more closely still, you notice that your hair has not been able to transfer this excess for quite some time and there is a build up of waste within the brain. As you gaze at this previously unsuspected problem with dismay, an idea descends upon you from the blue. You hope with all your might and sincerity that this idea that has come to you holds true and you rush off to try it out. Long ago on a shelf in a museum near your home you saw a large bottle labeled "tears of laughter" and the idea that anyone would save such water had struck you oddly and you never forgot. Now, in your time of need, you rush to the museum, quickly enter and find the bottle. Feeling happy that you found it so easily, allow yourself to move over to another part of the museum in which a gigantic crystal bowl is on display. Take no notice of anything that might stop you and climb within the bowl, letting yourself be comfortable and sure. Empty the bottle, one handful at a time into your hair and rinse away the impurities that your brain rejected long ago and keep rinsing as fresh wastes are quickly pressed outward along the hair. Long before the bottle is empty there is a puddle of muck in the bottom of the bowl and your head is painless and your mind is fresh and hair is clean. Take all the time you need to celebrate this most welcome development. Then allow your eyes to slowly open once again. (Chavez)
