Those ligaments had been pulled tightly. Only a small, minute alteration in any ligament or muscle affects all others. These ligaments in particular had been in the process of loosening, before Ruburt suddenly found he could thusly move his head, and look up toward the ceiling while walking.

The beginning release of those ligaments affected muscles that had been thusly held, so that they also began a release. As a rule muscles do not suddenly release an inch or two, and again, the smallest alteration is important. Ruburt mentioned it to you, and noted it himself. Both of you promptly felt it to be quite insignificant. So Ruburt could lift his head an inch while walking. Each of you thought, big deal.

In fact, a significant improvement had begun, for those motions affected all others, beginning to stretch other muscles and ligaments, demanding more circulation, and so forth.

Ruburt’s eyes had worked quite comfortably, moving in a very limited range of motion because of the tightened neck, head and shoulder muscles and ligaments. Simply put, the eyes worked while locked into certain positions or focuses. He had noticed for some time before that he had difficulty rolling his eyes when they were closed, for example.

As the heavy ligaments began to move, some important joints began to loosen. Many muscles, large and small, were tugged upon, and teased into motion. He felt them in various portions of his body. The same happened to the eyes muscles, however, and those are important in vision.

He started using them in ways he had not before. They were not in the old locked position, and he was beginning to enlarge his peripheral vision, which though he did not know it, had previously been limited by the head motion. The eye strain began to show. He became frightened. The tenseness from his fear would alternately relax and tighten the muscles, then.

(10:05.) Give us a moment.... There was also increased circulation to the eyes—very important, though this gave him a feeling of congestion at times. You were not having sessions during part of that period. He could not rely upon himself, and he did not trust the eye doctor. The bifocals (recently purchased) were resisted. The eye muscles were trying to work. The bifocals were trying to do the work for the eyes.

Both of you distrusted those events. Ruburt’s eyes felt better, but both of you discounted that also as insignificant. They felt better because the muscles are becoming more used to their newer motions. They will constantly improve in all ways if you trust the body’s resources and intent.

That softening means that all of the muscles and ligaments involved in locomotion have somewhat loosened—an overall loosening. The position walking has not altered. It has become looser, however, and at times quicker. The overall motion is what is important. And the knees’ stiffness began in the neck areas.
