(Jane had an excellent lunch. At 3:30 she began to have a lot of new motions in her neck, rotating her head much more freely from side to side than she’s been able to do so far. It helped the whole back, I said. Her shoulders raised and moved better also. Jane was moving her arms and hands to some extent during lunch. Her toes have been moving also, she said.
(3:40. Now Jane’s feet and ankles began to move in rhythm—just as though she were pedaling a bicycle, she said—and as she grunted and groaned with the effort the feet began to easily move the fastest I’ve seen them do yet. Even her head raised and lowered itself on the pillow in time with the foot motions.
(3:50. At her request I put my finger on a certain spot high up on the back of Jan’s head, where the muscles from the neck join the skull—and suddenly her head began to flop forward then jerk backward at an almost alarming rate, so fast did it move. I doubt if I could have done it much faster. Her head felt weightless beneath my finger, I told her, and she said it felt weightless to her, too. “That was fantastic,” she repeated over and over. She couldn’t imagine moving faster under any circumstances. “This really gives me hope,” she said. “I think all of this is part of the session today” —a good point. I lit a smoke for her at 3:55. She continued her head movements at a more moderate pace; I asked her not to overdo them. “I know I can have a session, so we’ll wait a bit to see if people are going to start coming in or not....” She talked again about how good it felt to move her head that way.

(“Lots of ‘normal’ people can’t move their head like that,” I said. And it’s true. She still felt a sense of triumph; really good. The therapeutic effects from just the feeling should be of great value.
