[...] Their muscles hurt. They are aware of each group of muscles. As Ruburt’s muscles exert themselves they often also hurt, but there is no one for him to compare his situation to—and because he has not trusted the body he becomes alarmed.

[...] More flexing of that leg—I could see the muscles in it moving clear up to the hips. [...]

[...] I could see the muscles in the right leg flexing to some degree—a sight that’s been pretty infrequent so far. [...]

Ruburt’s improving vision also carries a hint of that mysterious inner knowing—for on a conscious level he cannot know what nerves or muscles or blood vessels are activated, and yet the improvements show themselves with that same ease and freedom. [...]

The entire posture required a tightening, however, of all muscles, including eye muscles. [...]

[...] You can say that you have a brain and heart and liver and appendix, and so forth, and muscles and bones, and insist that all of these work in a certain fashion, as of course they do. [...]

[...] Medical men are taught that certain muscles or organs do thus and so. [...]

[...] Muscles and ligaments and joints loosened, but this could not be accomplished without certain bodily sensations, without certain imbalances, as the body tried to bring about another adjustment and alignment. [...]

Because he has not built up the good trust of his body, however, any new discomfort, regardless of origin, alarms him—an alarm that causes him to tense his muscles, withhold his weight, become hesitant—actions that of course themselves bring about stress, and prolong what should be a fairly minor adjustment. [...]

(9:37.) Ruburt needs your help once again to reassure him that relaxation is safe, that it is safe to let go, that he will not fall into darkness, that his muscles will actually become stronger as they relax, and that his creativity rises to the surface when his body and mind are more relaxed. [...]

[...] She could feel it in her right leg—she cried out as a muscle spasm ran down the right leg to the toes. She could feel definite changes as the muscles in the doubled-up right leg tried to straighten out, as she put it. [...]

[...] The muscles are to be encouraged, and the liniment is fine as an aid. [...]

[...] By 5 PM—eyes feel lots easier & feels that “sideways eye muscles” show new motion.

[...] Nor were those episodes painless, for in one of them I put an unnatural strain on the deltoid muscle in my right shoulder. [I’d injured the shoulder last summer while pulling on the starting cord for the lawn mower; it’s bothered me ever since, although not steadily.] The pain was intense, although not as bad when I’d first hurt the muscle. [...] My muscles weren’t magically healing themselves, nor was I undergoing any kind of overall healing that might confound my own beliefs, or those of medical science. [...]

[...] My knees felt loose as could be, but the muscles in the legs were heavy and stolid. [...]

[...] I finally figured out why that mirror image confronted me with such an unreal quality: All the muscles and planes of my face were super-relaxed and smoothed out, so that the face at once looked both younger and older than its real age. [...]

[...] My eyes worked some better, I typed an hour or so copying the beginning of James; got five or so good new pages; and muscles in head, ears, eyes, neck definitely were relaxing. [...]

The particular words are not important, but the emotion behind them is important, for they will—the words and the emotions—be reflected in every muscle of the face, as well as in the thrust of the head and the hands. [...]

Sorrow or fear obviously show different faces—not only (long pause), the anatomy and the structure [that] forms the living face, but the emotions within that give the muscles and the structures meaning, and that play upon them. [...]

[...] Put yourself in his place, and with all of his capacities, and with his wisdom, and what would you be saying, and what emotion would move the muscles of your face?

[...] The same applies to muscles. [...]

[...] He knows he feels softer—both ordinary tissue and his muscles.

The tendons, muscles and nerves in the entire pelvis area, for example, have been refreshingly soft, more and more flexible. [...]

[...] When I got to 330 she was having spasms in her inner thigh and buttock muscles—those areas I’d noticed being so tight yesterday. [...] I said it seems the legs are on their way to clearing themselves more—that the jerky motions result from unused muscles trying to get back into the rhythm of everyday motion. [...]

[...] Muscles have been relaxed in the past, while still not lengthening. [...]

The ligaments and the muscles are in motion now. [...]

[...] The other area involved ligaments and muscles that attached the thighs to the trunk, resulting in the behavior of the knees and legs in general.

These improvements are happening in such a way that no undue stress is placed upon any particular group of muscles or tendons, and yet there will be some periods in which feelings of unaccustomed activity are present, and perhaps some tenderness, as muscles and tendons are gradually activated.

[...] There are muscles and tendons that are thawing out, hence the body is acclimating itself to new conditions.

[...] 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. [...]

[...] 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. [...]

(10:15.) He is correct: Frank should invite the muscles to move, assure them that they can through gentle manipulation. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s muscles can move easier, now. [...]

[...] Habitual muscle strain is involved, that smothers joints and does not give them room to move.

[...] As stated, overall balance must be maintained, and is being maintained, overall, while the body still goes through many changes in stance that go unnoticed as muscles strengthen themselves in precise order, and circulation is increased. [...]

When he does not believe his muscles will work, he will not put full strength upon them, for example, and physically weakens the muscle. [...]
