This means that some muscles literally are being released for the first time in years. They are initially wobbly, and in some instances sore. He realizes now that the soreness vanishes quickly, a few days after a muscle is released, and that the soreness is a sign of the muscle’s vitality, newly regained. Before, the same muscle was hard, rigid, and unyielding.

The soreness then does not last, but in your terms the muscles must then build strength, and as this happens other muscles are also being released in their own kind of orderly fashion, so that body balance is maintained. Initially this does not give a smooth picture of locomotion.

(11:27.) Give us a moment.... It is very important, again, that he follow his inclinations—for overall, when he feels like doing nothing but relaxing, this is what body and mind both need at that point. When he feels like motion, as tonight in the parking area, that is the correct thing to do. Some muscles were released in the leg. These particular muscles, because of their relationship with others, could be used immediately without strain, and were.

The beginning release of those ligaments affected muscles that had been thusly held, so that they also began a release. As a rule muscles do not suddenly release an inch or two, and again, the smallest alteration is important. [...]

[...] Many muscles, large and small, were tugged upon, and teased into motion. [...] The same happened to the eyes muscles, however, and those are important in vision. [...]

[...] Only a small, minute alteration in any ligament or muscle affects all others. [...]

Whole groups of muscles, particularly on Ruburt’s right side, are letting down, straightening and also untwisting from head to toe. [...] Some muscles have been kinked, however. [...]

[...] Muscles being released are, as he has noticed, at first sore, then he realizes a new freedom or function regained.

The soreness continues for a while, however, and then vanishes as the muscle regains strength through use. [...]

The hands are regaining strength, as are the feet and the knees, but this is not yet apparent, because all of the tendons and muscles are not at the same state. [...] And again, the muscles, once loosened, need to stabilize and regain operational strength. [...]

[...] Muscles and ligaments that have been released are acclimating themselves, becoming dependable, so that they can take over fully, thus signaling other groups of their kind.

[...] They will continue with different sets of muscles and ligaments—but first the initial groups had to stabilize while other portions learned to accept the new balance.

[...] So the walk is momentarily uneven; sometimes more so than usual, as different muscles release, come into play newly after some time. [...] His reach will be good one day and poor the next as certain muscles are stronger than others, and new balances are being set up. [...] Life and vitality is returning to a large number of previously hardened muscles. Other muscles had done double duty, so to speak, and “improper” postures were set up to maintain balance. [...]

[...] The healing energy has softened muscles that were hard. [...]

(11:15.) There is nothing wrong, even with the muscles or the joints, organically, but a functional disturbance. [...]

[...] The muscles are then in a state of constant stress.

When he is at peace in the moment, the muscles are allowed to relax. [...]

The back leg muscles are considerably released from what they were, say, a month ago. This is allowing the front leg muscles to release. [...]

[...] The main thing is to remember the body’s good intent, and its ability to follow through because fear of course increases tension on the muscles.

Frank’s knowledge of the muscles, in your terms, helped Ruburt to a large degree. Now, however, it should be remembered that the muscles can easily accustom themselves to any new motions without anything but a minimum of discomfort.

[...] Actually of course the whole thing has to do with the nature of beliefs, not the nature of the muscles, for they will act as you believe they will.

The yoga exercises encourage the muscles to stretch as well as relax, and so far his choice of exercises is good. [...] As the muscles continue to relax, the arms and shoulders will also free themselves. [...]

[...] The muscles should be encouraged to relax. [...]

[...] Frank’s diagnosis of the beneficial changes in muscles, ligaments and strength, is quite accurate, though even he is unable to deduce such other deeper changes.

[...] It had tightened over the muscles, for example.

The legs have straightened—that is, the ligaments and muscles have, and to some considerable degree. [...]

[...] Muscles that have not been used as they are released, are sore. [...] I want 10 minutes of simple exercises to re-educate the muscles. [...]

[...] His muscles and joints hurt more than they did before. [...]

Leg muscles are straightening out, and being used after being rigid. [...]

This evening, tissues and muscles were literally being rejuvenated. [...]

[...] Small floodgates have opened, little by little, as the muscles have been newly activated. [...]

[...] The body could not dismiss these until the newly activated muscles began to come into their own, where they could be counted upon to maintain balance in a normal manner.

[...] The release however then of muscles previously tight can be initially unpleasant, but this soon passes, as other groups of muscles relax gradually in response. [...]

[...] This is the true nature of healing, and in the physical situation, practically speaking, you must allow time for the muscles to readjust themselves, and gain their strength. [...]

[...] In practical terms it is natural for muscles that are restrained to hurt. [...] He did not allow his muscles their natural protest.

[...] Now, as large muscle areas gradually release, you can expect to see the return of quicker motions, though some may be in the beginning relatively uncoordinated. [...]

[...] You can expect the release in physical terms of more muscles and joints, and see the quickening in motion.

Forgot: during night my stomach muscles right side lower suddenly relaxed & felt fantastic—I didn’t realize they weren’t relaxed before—then left side of my groin itched & all the flesh went soft & relaxed (and sort of flabby).

How could such things “slip my mind”?—front ligament (or muscle) of left leg this AM. [...]

Certain muscles have been kept however like coiled rubber bands. [...] Whole groups of subsidiary muscles had been under great tension. [...]

(11:14.) In practical terms they cannot suddenly snap back, but gradually relax, so that all of the subsidiary muscles can gradually accommodate the new motion.

[...] There are only several small groups of muscles still to be released. [...]

[...] Very briefly, for your edification: Ruburt’s eyes are achieving normal motion, the muscles and so forth being released to normal capacity in the last few days. [...] New body relationships are taking place, and that activity gives him a sense of disorientation as muscles, released, practice their flexibility, and learn to synchronize it.

(10:54.) Now Ruburt, because of his beliefs, “artificially” disciplined his muscles so that he would be forced to concentrate upon what it seemed you and he both thought was most important in life—your work.

[...] It resulted however in an operable but limited fashion with all of the muscles tightened and restricted to some degree, the original tension being applied to the head and neck area.

[...] The neck and throat muscles were held in a particular fashion. [...]

[...] Practically speaking however, muscles suddenly released from tension need first to simply relax and gain strength, and resiliency, practically. [...]

[...] These are followed, as over the weekend, by periods in which he feels like physical activity, and begins to strengthen the muscles.

[...] His natural inclinations, followed, allow for exercise when it is needed, and rest when it is needed, so that the natural resiliency of the muscles can be expressed without strain. [...]

The relaxation periods bring about a necessary situation in which the muscles become more pliable, and are then gradually released. The amount of release varies according to the given muscle system and its interaction with others. [...]

The relaxation continues longer to ensure that undue strain is not placed upon the releasing muscles until they are acclimated. [...]

[...] The release of muscles takes place in such a way that the tendons around joints are gradually loosened, and then the body works on the joints themselves. [...]
