C.  Knock the Head (Fig. 4.2)

Hit the head with the knuckles of the hand, knocking all around the head. Knocking the head lightly can help to clear your head, elimi­nate stubbornness and make your thinking sharper. Many of our students use this knocking of the head to release the pressures that they have from today’s life of fast, advanced technology and the feeling of always having to keep up. This is especially true of those graduate students who feel a great deal of pressure and stress in keeping up with their studies. Each year students com­mit suicide because the pressures and stress accumulate too much in their heads, making them unable to think clearly: they start to feel everything in their society as too much pressure, which leads to worry, fear, sadness, and many, mixed emotions. The simple knocking of the head can release pressure and stress that accu­mulate there.
