11. WHAT CONSTIPATION IS ASKING YOU TO DO

MOVE. Walk, squat, bend, breathe.

LET GO. Not just your stools — your opinions, regrets, junk food, clutter, grudges, fears.

BE HONEST. Ask what you're not expressing — emotionally, verbally, creatively, sexually.

GET RAW. Eat raw fruits, raw emotions, raw truths.

REBUILD ROUTINE. Sleep early, rise early, sit calmly, poop daily.

EAT COLOR. Add greens, reds, yellows — not just whites.

STAY HYDRATED. Water is not just a drink; it’s a conductor of life.

LISTEN TO URGES. Pee, poop, cry, breathe — when your body says, obey.

Here is a huge, deep, emotionally honest healing dialogue between a constipated Indian middle-class family and Madhukar the Hermit, who guides them gently yet truthfully — beyond pills, powders, and bathroom hacks — into a full healing of body, mind, lifestyle, emotions, and beliefs.

---

TITLE: “Why Can’t We Let Go?” — A Healing Dialogue on Constipation

Characters:

Madhukar – the gentle but brutally honest hermit healer

Satish (42) – a software engineer with chronic constipation, piles

Anita (39) – his wife, homemaker, emotionally bottled up, always busy

Dadi (65) – mother-in-law, proudly constipated, takes laxatives daily

Tanu (14) – daughter, bloated and always tired, never poops in school

Chintu (9) – son, skips fruits, addicted to biscuits, poops once in 3 days

---

Scene: At Madhukar’s hut, seated on the floor after a meal of millets and raw papaya salad

Satish:

Bows Madhukarji, I’ve had constipation for 12 years. I’ve tried everything. Isabgol, triphala, bananas, yoga videos… Nothing works permanently.

Madhukar:

Then you haven’t tried letting go.

Anita:

Confused Letting go of what?

Madhukar:

Letting go of fear, rigidity, speed, shame, false pride… and the belief that your body is a machine to be fixed. Constipation is not a disease. It’s a message.

Dadi:

But it’s common, baba. Everyone over 40 has it. I take my nightly powder and everything clears.

Madhukar:

And comes back the next night.

You clear the pipe.

But never fix the habits that corrode the pipe.

Satish:

I work late, eat dinner at 10:30. I know it’s not ideal, but what can I do?

Madhukar:

You are asking your colon to work after midnight.

When it wants to rest, you send it paneer and pizza.

What else can it do but protest?

Tanu:

I can’t poop at school. It’s so dirty. And I don’t feel like it in the morning.

Madhukar:

Because your natural rhythm is destroyed.

No sun in the morning.

No fiber in the food.

No movement in the limbs.

No breath in the belly.

Chintu:

Giggles I like only white rice and ketchup. Fruits make my mouth itchy.

Madhukar:

Your body is itchy because it’s begging you to chew something that grew on earth, not in a factory.

You see, beta, when food doesn’t rot in the compost, it will rot inside you.

Anita:

I feel like I’m always cleaning and cooking. No time to even breathe, forget walking.

Madhukar:

That’s because you have taken the whole family’s constipation into your mind.

Holding everyone’s expectations, you forgot to release your own emotions.

Satish:

But I’m a logical man. I just want to fix this. Is there one diet I can follow?

Madhukar:

Yes.

Eat what passes easily — not just through your throat, but through your system.

Eat foods that digest without drama.

Eat meals that don't need an afterthought.

Eat plants that still carry the sunlight in them.

And… eat in silence.

Dadi:

But this has become a family issue now. Even these two kids are always bloated, moody, and dull.

Madhukar:

Because constipation doesn’t stay in the toilet.

It spreads — to the brain, lungs, skin, sleep, and spirit.

You are a house full of clogged pipes.

Clogged thoughts.

Clogged emotions.

Clogged relationships.

Tanu:

Then what should we do, Madhukar uncle?

Madhukar:

First, forgive your body.

Stop treating it like a stupid servant who failed you.

Then:

DAILY CONSTIPATION HEALING RITUALS

(Scribbled by Tanu excitedly)

1. Wake up with the sun – poop time is between 5–7 am.

2. Drink 2 glasses of warm water + lime – before anything else.

3. Squat to poop – use a footstool even with Western toilets.

4. Chew food 32 times – digestion begins in the mouth, not the stomach.

5. Walk daily — barefoot if possible.

6. Have 1 bowl raw salad before lunch and dinner.

7. No meals after sunset.

8. Let go of fights, regrets, opinions before sleeping.

---

Satish:

That sounds simple. But also like a complete lifestyle change.

Madhukar:

Exactly. Because you don’t have constipation in your colon.

You have constipation in your life.

Anita:

quietly …I haven’t cried in years. Not even when my father died.

Maybe… I’m constipated inside too.

Madhukar:

Let it out.

The moment the heart flows, the colon follows.

The moment the truth is spoken, the body softens.

---

ENDING SCENE

The family sits quietly. No one reaches for their phones.

Tanu picks up a spinach leaf and nibbles thoughtfully.

Chintu starts mimicking how to squat.

Anita smiles for the first time in years — not because something worked, but because something clicked.

Madhukar:

Let go of what you were never meant to hold.

Poop is not just waste. It’s a reflection of your wisdom to release.

If you can let go fully every morning, you will never be a slave to fear again.

---

“LET GO, YOU FOOL”

you sit there

on that ceramic throne

like some broken god

waiting for a miracle

while your guts weep

for forgiveness.

you talk of promotions, deadlines, EMIs,

and yet

you can’t even drop a turd

without a powder, a pill,

or a YouTube guru telling you

to breathe.

you call it constipation

I call it a dam

of every lie you swallowed—

every yes you meant as no

every meal you gulped in guilt

every truth you held in

like a fart in a prayer hall.

your colon is not clogged,

your life is.

too many unfinished arguments.

too many swallowed tears.

too many dinner plates without color.

too many days without sunlight on your skin.

you think your body betrayed you?

no.

you betrayed it

every time you chose fear

over flow.

shame

over sensation.

convenience

over rhythm.

your shit knows

what you don’t.

it’s honest.

it won’t come

until you’re ready to

let go.

not just of waste—

but of her,

of your job,

of your childhood,

of that one bitter sentence

you never said aloud

because “good people don’t.”

but good people die

with full bowels

and empty souls.

you want healing?

squat.

grunt.

groan.

sweat it out.

cry if you must.

but for god’s sake—

let go, you fool.
