(But the whole thing seems like a good plan. and we plan to do the best we can with it. Above all, it appears to be vital that we have faith and confidence that the body knows what it’s doing, and that Jane’s healing processes continue. It seems that this attitude is the key to everything else. We wanted Seth to comment this evening.)

Sunday was somewhat of an example of the advantageous way to handle things. He felt the impulse to do the floors with your sweeper (while I was mowing grass) and because of our Saturday session he ignored the arm difficulty enough to do the kitchen. That stimulus naturally led him to do the bathroom, and to plan to do the bedroom. For that time, he enjoyed the activity. Several times he felt like walking, and he walked for brief periods three or four times. Sunday is not considered a “workday,” however, so it was easier for him to follow through on those impulses. But the body was overall stimulated, enjoyed the activity, and felt accomplishment. His mind was refreshed. He felt somewhat physically competent.

Ruburt’s body can perform better. There are no impediments to prevent it. His arms can comfortably release themselves, and his trunk, and in perfect rhythm with his legs, knees, and feet. These ideas, accepted, work automatically, though some time in Framework 1 would be involved necessarily; but the releasing ease and the gradual overall improvement would be quite perceivable.

Your pendulum exercises—and again, they were helpful—were still largely Framework 1 references. The pillow pounding was simply meant to allow physical expression that would vary on different days, and would open the body to the idea of the normal exertion of such energy. When you number the number of times, and so forth, then you are dealing with something else, with Framework 1 reasoning. All that can spread over into other activities.

Ruburt’s feelings about his nap: he finally remembered what I told him some time ago—to relax is to let go. Relaxation makes action possible. It is not lax, does not mean laziness. Relaxation allows the body to rest securely in the source of its being, and refreshes the mind and spirit as well.
