With very good results, I advise any woman who never felt
recognized by her parents—because they hoped for a boy not a
girl, which caused ever more and more psychological distress
and deep pain—to do the following:
With the menstrual blood, the consultant stains her face and goes out
to visit friends and relatives.
With a woman who felt ashamed to do this, I advised her to paint a
heart on her chest with her menstrual blood each month for one year.
2. FEMALE SHYNESS
Many girls, influenced by the strong personalities of their
strong masculine parents, grow up with a shyness that makes it
difficult for them to speak up for themselves, move freely, and
express their feelings. In order to be liberated from this
bothersome psychological prison, my advice to the consultant
is:
The consultant should attend a belly dancing class and, in this way,
recover her natural feminine movements. Or she could take singing
lessons, not to succeed in this art but to make the voice descend down
the throat toward the region of the ovaries: as long as the impulse of
words does not arise out of the belly, she will act like a child and not
like an adult. Also, the consultant could join a shooting club to learn to
shoot a pistol, a rifle, and, if possible, a machine gun. This will teach
her to express her thoughts and emotions with conviction and strength.
