“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Jane made a few mild motions toward exercising her feet and arms, and so forth, and that was it. [...]

Tell Ruburt to trust his body and its periods of exercise and rest. [...]

[...] You will never know unless you try the exercise. Now if you are in poor health, and have a physician, you had better continue going to him, because you still rely on that system of belief — but use these exercises as supplements to build up your own sense of inner health, and to protect you against any negative suggestions given by your doctor. [...]

[...] If you are overweight, insert the weight that you think is ideal for you while you are following this exercise. [...]

[...] Forget the exercise when it is completed. [...]

Doing the exercise will simply acquaint your normal consciousness with the sense of its own flexibility. You will be exercising the invisible muscles of your consciousness as certainly as you might exercise your body with gymnastics.

[...] You might do the exercise sitting quietly, or riding a bus or waiting for someone in an office. Some of you might be able to do the exercise while performing a more or less automatic series of actions — but do not try to carry it out while driving your car, for example.

[...] When most of you begin this exercise it will almost seem as if you were a sleepwalker yesterday. [...]

Now: the second part of the exercise.

[...] This chair (indicated), being used to get from room to room, was at that point creative, and it got him involved in the household again, and greatly added to the exercise given the legs over the entire day, for sometimes he walked to the bathroom three times in the winter, but for the rest of the day his motion was most limited.

He does need to put his full weight on his feet more, though last week was a good compromise for now—but overall the body has been more exercised. [...]

The leg and thigh discomforts in bed are definitely the result of concentrated periods of muscular exercise. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s exercises are important because of his intent in doing them; a vital, beneficial change of attitude there, and because of that his body is responding.

The husband, now, should follow this exercise three times dail: He should imagine the energy and vitality of the universe filling his wife’s form with vitality and health. [...]

If possible he should touch her during this exercise, and it should be done morning, noon and evening. [...]

The simple exercise given you will immediately bring more positive aspects into the picture, then relief from secondary harmful suggestions, and harmful emotional climates. [...]

(10:24.) An exercise such as this evening’s simply allows you to unify your will with your body, and bridge the gap of separation artificially formed, to quiet the panic, to unify the so-called conscious and unconscious, and such exercises will release energy, not only for Ruburt’s recovery, but will automatically revive your psychic lives. [...]

The exercise this evening, and its results, gave you a small preliminary example of the potency of suggestion when you decide to use it jointly for such a purpose.

[...] Your beliefs about time would prevent taking time out for relaxation exercises or for suggestion, as of this evening. [...]

When you are sketching outdoors, as a helpful exercise I suggest the following: attach your focus of attention to one small thing. [...]

[...] The exercise itself will allow you to make the necessary transformation, where the one becomes all. [...]

In a portrait, do the same exercise as given earlier. [...]

[...] An apple can imply, through use of the exercise I have given you, the whole unseen universe, though not another object is shown in the painting itself.

Walking, exercise, suggestion to be continued. [...]

(Frank Longwell also visited today—before Jim did, as a matter of fact —and helped Jane experiment with certain exercises for her legs in the bathroom. [...]

[...] She also tried the library today, as Seth had suggested, but with “nil” results, but didn’t try the energy-healing exercise yet. [...]

All of the issues I have mentioned—love-making, the energy exercises, poetry and so forth—lead toward a therapeutic situation (pause), toward the realization that expression itself is safe, and serve to remind him that creativity’s uncertainty is itself highly creative, providing its own safety within a context of exuberant expression. [...]

[...] It is given some exercise, when you go dancing; sudden exercise after inactivity. [...]

At the same time he gave less and less nourishment to the body, denied it exercise until it began to wither from disuse. [...]

Numb to the body’s desires for exercise, motion, air. [...]

[...] They would jump on their own simply for the exercise, regardless of suggestions that sleep come. [...]

[...] The eyes did not roll easily, but since no attempt was made to roll them, the restriction was not noticed, except when Ruburt tried to roll his eyes when they were closed, for an exercise once or twice.

[...] They are constantly exercising themselves, but are not themselves working smoothly.

[...] To some extent the changing pressure accounts for the eyes’ protuberance, so that they have plenty of moisture and do not become dry as the eye muscles and other portions of the eyes exercise their new activity.

The exercise I told Ruburt to do about dancing can also trigger responses on his part in ways now impossible to expect. [...]

[...] He has been doing his own kind of energy exercises, involving the particular “sore” (the ulcer on her coccyx; it’s slowly closing), but I suggest that he does one of those exercises faithfully every day, and that both of you simply see the area healed. [...] Do the exercise as effortlessly as possible, and then forget it. [...]

He can do this by employing the exercises that you mentioned, that will show him a daily improvement that will help break the negative image and prevent further negative projections. [...]

[...] You did more good by telling him he bent over well from the front this evening (while we were exercising), that simple statement, than you ever could by any remark, however well-meaning, that he is not bending his leg when he walks for example.

[...] The joint exercise idea is very good, and the morning one also. [...]

This exercise alone will open your perceptions, increase your awareness and automatically expand your appreciation of your own nature.

[...] Many of the suggested small exercises given earlier in the book will also help you become acquainted with your own reality, will give you direct experience with the nature of your own soul or entity, and will put you in contact with those portions of your being from which your own vitality springs. [...]

Certainly most of my readers, however, will have success with some of the suggested exercises. [...]

He has begun some brief relaxation exercises. [...]

All portions of Ruburt’s body are gently and almost constantly being stretched and then exercised in the best possible order. [...] The constant activity however prepares the body for normal walking, and exercises necessary portions, then stretches them further, so that while Ruburt is not walking more noticeably upright, he is indeed taller, particularly when standing; different portions are exercised when he is sitting or standing, so that each change can be counted upon for the next alteration in posture.

[...] Through exercises you can consciously remember some dreams. Through exercises you can consciously remember some reincarnations.

If you are interested I will give you such exercises, but whether or not you remember these lives consciously is of little importance, for you have subconscious knowledge of them. [...]

[...] The isometric exercises, for now, are excellent and should be followed by both of you. The two Eastern exercises, done occasionally by Ruburt, should be adopted by you both as a matter of routine daily.

Later other such Eastern exercises should be added. [...]

[...] Therefore they apply, the dietary suggestions and the exercise suggestions, to you only.

[...] He was exercising his consciousness, allowing himself greater freedom. [...]

[...] They also exercise their consciousnesses in the same fashion—doodle with their minds, relaxing themselves in such a fashion, wandering off to refresh themselves—and you were both doing that, but Ruburt caught himself in the act, so to speak.
