(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.
(At 3:56 Dawn came in to take Jane’s temperature—97.3—and her pulse. After Dawn left Jane said she felt motion in her hips for the first time. She could feel them shifting from side to side as she lay on her back in bed. I could see hints of the motions. Another first, I told her. This would be very important, for now her hips wouldn’t always be laying upon the bed like a dead weight. “The first time I could move them,” Jane said. This could be a very important development. “They definitely moved in a new way for the first time.”

Only fear and distrust have held him back. He should tell himself, again, that it is perfectly safe to move, that the body’s safety, in fact, is dependent upon its fluid motion, so that the muscles are free to relax and contract.

(“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.

(4:21. “That’s it,” Jane said. The best of the little sessions yet, I said. The turn onto her left side went easily. I rubbed Oil of Olay into her feet, lower legs, arms and hands, talking to those parts as I “worked” on them. They were all better, I could feel. Jane ate an excellent supper. She said she felt motions in her body as she lay on her side, watching TV while I took a nap from 5:05 to 5:35. She occasionally moved a portion of her body as she ate supper. We were very encouraged.)
