His decision not to get weighed (some months ago) was a good one, and at the time it gave him some breathing space, so to speak, which he did use to advantage. He is now assimilating nourishment well enough so that the body can heal itself, and gain some weight besides. It is indeed important that you reread the sessions, and Ruburt’s improved reading status today (when Jane read yesterday’s session after lunch today) should at least give you a glimmer of the improvements that are possible—improvements that will indeed occur as you continue with our “program.” I suggest a brief break.

Now, to resume: Your idea of using the sponges is an excellent one, and for now have Ruburt use that same imagery once a day for a starter. This should be done with a light rather than a heavy mental hand, of course.

It can all come as playfully as Ruburt’s writing comes. The idea, again, is to avoid concentration on impediments.
