You do not have to wonder at the small physical symptoms which have bothered both of you lately. Before our sessions began your reactions were, as you might recall, much more vehement. The interaction between body and mind is always present. It is only when adverse symptoms arise that you pay it any attention.

Inner pockets of fear hold back needed energy, creating these weak points in the physical body. Efficiency may be developed through understanding, and through the efficient use of psychic energy. The deficiency is not in the matter itself, but is projected upon it.

Needed energy is held back in the fist of fear, and not used for fullest repair within the physical body. When the fear is activated it, the fear, drains more energy from the physical construction, contracting, the fear being like a short-circuit mechanism; and indeed definite electrical forces are here activated.

These can be measured. With this occurs a chemical overexertion, an attempt chemically to make up for loss of energy in a specific area. The body’s defenses, with oftentimes insufficient energy at their command, attempt to hold the fort and make repairs, until the needed energy is again available.
