The body’s latest efforts to heal itself, Ruburt’s strong intent to become flexible, and your own help and encouragement, have led to a situation in which all of those tensions, exerted over a long period of time, are in the process of rather speedily being released. They are bound to cause certain sensations, unfamiliar feelings, unsynchronized motions. If the process were slower, of course, you might not notice the sensations.

In this rhythm generally, first the right and then the left neck arteries are affected, releasing so far. The eye on the working side must readjust. Last week the eyes were relatively comfortable, for the process was continuing in lower portions of the body. This week the right neck ligaments continued a new release that affects the ears, sinus, and head pressures—and of course the eyes also.

Those passages can become congested simply because of the increased circulation in the head area. In this process, however, the entire body is being improved rather than, say, specific areas. He knows he feels softer—both ordinary tissue and his muscles.

What I said about speed being returned is quite true, although this is not experienced as whole-body motion as yet.

(9:56.) Give us a moment.... All of this does require a trust in the body’s strength and resources. The improvements themselves are learning processes, as Ruburt learns to trust the body, as before he did not.

These processes result in definite improvement of performance, which is what you want, of course. Ruburt sits down more easily, for example. His body can raise up further while standing, though not as yet while walking. The important thing is to keep up your spirits, again, as the stages result in definite improvement of performance, for these of course then add to your confidence.

The main work, meaning basic work with the neck ligaments, should soon be over, so that the eyes will be far more comfortable, and the other changes largely show in the body’s lower portions. The head tensions and those ligaments, however, are keys that before locked the shoulders, arms, and chest in a given position, forcing the knees to bend for the sake of balance.

It may seem that the body’s release should only bring feelings of comfort and greater ease. The body mends itself in its own way, however, and you will put your own psychological judgments upon its sensations. Ligaments as they release put forth much action. They try themselves out. They will appear to dangle, and then to tighten and dangle again. The body coming to life is active, and its activity may clamor at times. When you are not used to trusting the body, then those activities may seem to be causes for alarm—and such fears should be expressed—as long as the other definite feelings of comfort, ease, quickness, or flexibility are also expressed.

(11:16 PM. Jane had been quite restless last night, with all the bodily changes occurring. Once we woke up together, and I massaged various portions of her body for some little time. After that she slept fairly well until morning.
