(Jane didn’t call last night. I got there a few minutes early; she’d just been turned by Patty and was hurting a lot. However, she’d had a good night and morning, and had eaten some breakfast. I massaged under her left knee when she asked me to, almost at once, and was pleased to see the motion in her leg, and head and shoulders, return once again. She said she’d reassured herself through the night and morning that it was okay to move, that she trusted her body, and had had some movements.

(3:15. Jane felt panicky again, and we talked. She wasn’t sure of the cause. I thought her fear of motion was involved, as well as old family stuff, and she agreed. Half crying, she began more motions with her arms and hands. I rubbed her legs a bit and got more responses, but tried not to overdo it.

(Long pause.) Ruburt is joyfully understanding the miracle of normal physical bodily motion. Again, the session itself does indeed physically rearrange, reorganize, so that the bodily and mental contents are filled with soothing healing messages and potions.

(I read the session to Jane. I called it excellent. The key, I said, was the reference to her understanding physical motion. I mentioned the joy Seth referred to, and Jane said she felt it, even as she cried while I helped her move her arms. I gave her eye drops and turned up the TV after she’d gone through various additional motions. I told her I wanted her home — that all of the rooms in the house were waiting for her.
(Jane’s motions, in the legs especially, were quite startling as I started massaging them with Oil of Olay preparatory to turning her on her side. To my surprise I discovered that as I massaged those tendons underneath the knee, her foot began to move back and forth an inch — something she hasn’t been able to do for months, at least, and proof that the left knee joint wasn’t frozen. I congratulated her. It was also easier doing her arms and hands and other parts of her body after I turned her. And the turning itself went very easily indeed — she didn’t cry at all, and seemed to be at some sort of peace. I told her she’d done well.
(In fact, she continued her motions without my asking her too. Supper didn’t work out, though — after taking a half cup of soup she began to throw up, and lost it all. This upset me, yet Jane didn’t feel bad about it, and I curbed my disappointment.
(I stayed with her until after 7:30. “You’d better get out of here,” Jane said, meaning that the longer I stayed, the longer she’d keep up her motions. I was only concerned that she not overdo it, and have sore muscles later. I told her often how great it was to see her move, and that her motions only meant that her body was more than willing to cooperate if allowed to. I do think she has either learned that by now, or is on the way. What counts is keeping it up, without trying too hard, and letting the body do its thing.
