“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane dozed a few times while reading yesterday’s session, which she managed to do fairly well. I helped her read it. She also rotated her arms in good style. I told her both her hands looked better than they had yesterday, even, with the skin coloring more normal instead of being so taut and tight. I began doing some mail while she slept briefly after reading the session. “I feel guilty, doing that,” she said.

(I was shocked—because I discovered a vast amount of tension in her left leg. So much so that it was jammed against her broken right leg, and I had difficulty getting the pillow between her knees before turning her. Her whole leg was tense; I could feel the tension in all the tendons and muscles. I was amazed at the tension in the leg. I couldn’t understand how she could stand that situation, evidently day after day, and not realize what she was doing, what was happening. It must put a terrible strain upon the knee joint, I told her. I began massaging the leg with Oil of Olay and talking to it. It helped, I could tell, but not enough, since by then I had her on her side. I rubbed the lotion into her hands and feet also.

(The supper tray was late. After a nap I turned Jane back on her back at 5:35, and massaged her left leg again, doing a much better job this time. I told her I was “upset” at the tension in the leg, and wanted to see it dissipate. I could feel the leg respond. She said she had to do something so as not to get discouraged, and I told her not to let herself get discouraged. Her right wrist began to revolve better, and her doubled-up fingers loosened a little more—more progress.

I do. Your dehypnotizing sessions are very important in helping him become accustomed to new motion. A good deal of the body’s difficulties have been caused by tension almost exclusively, so what I am saying is of particular importance.

You are correct: the body itself wants to move normally, and becomes more and more able to do so. For a few days, again, have Ruburt read those portions I have given, dealing with the roles of the conscious and subconscious minds.
