Often you are reacting to implied threats—either those you imagine in the future or remember from the past, so that you do not take the necessary comfort in the sense data of any given moment. You do not let your organism suitably relax enough in the moments of safety that the body requires. The imagined threats then cut down your feelings of security, adding anxieties for which the sense perceptions can directly find no reason.

The body is well equipped to handle the reality of the moment, and the reality at any given time holds a considerable amount of refreshment. Responding only to the stimuli immediately available will often alleviate the anxiety causing the stomach difficulty.

One or the other of you reinforce the idea of threat, the extraordinary energy is available. (This from Jane’s reading of William James lately.) You have been afraid of really structuring the improvements, of really making an important effort, for fear that effort will fail.

That adds to anxiety, and the anxiety helps keep the position the same, and brings about a hopeless feeling in which nothing but an instant, complete healing would be trusted.

The trouble with the left eye has to do with changes in the left leg and knee. The towels will help. The entire ear-sinus area is changing. Congested passageways are opening. The eyes felt the change of pressure and congestion. This caused, the initial eye difficulties, and unequal working of the eye muscles. Short periods of deep breathing will help, but mostly it is the confidence in his own body that is important. Otherwise you have the anxiety of believing that any symptoms have the worst possible connotations, and that the body does not know what it is doing.
