“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(During lunch Jane’s broken right leg and right foot were bothering her considerably after I’d turned her on her back. I’d given her aspirin. I tried a little dehypnosis, stroking the leg and foot and talking to them. Jane was making noises of pain and discomfort, though after a while she stopped this while she ate. Then she told me my “treatment” had helped a lot, beginning a few minutes after I stopped.

(“We should have been smart enough to try it without following it up with the aspirin right away,” I said. But we learned something. Maybe next time. Sharon Poley brought Jane Darvoset at 2:40.

(After everybody had made their rounds concerning her vitals, which were all normal, Jane said she might try for a short session. “Maybe I need a little session, at least every day, just to keep my spirits up,” she said. She was quite upset because of her discomfort in her right leg after I’d first turned her on her back before lunch.)

(I read to her Seth’s opening paragraphs of yesterday’s session; these dealt with the roles of the conscious and subconscious minds. I didn’t get to go over any of the other past sessions with her before I turned her on her right side at 4:30.

(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.

(I found that both her hands showed signs of improvement in feel and motion at the wrists especially, much to my pleasant surprise, so we’re making good progress there. It’s easier now for me to get the oil inside her clenched right hand, and I can feel the fingers move.

(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.
