Time of Reading 11:05 to 11:20 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.Y. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [428]; this we have had before.
2. As we find, there are some changes for the better since last we had same.
3. There is the need, with the general application of mechanotherapy or osteopathy, for the keeping of the drainages in the system; the necessity for the better attitude of the body physically and mentally.
4. This has been indicated from the suggestions of the positive meditations as might have been had from Birdi. [Fredoon C. Birdi, N.D.]
5. In making the applications osteopathically, these as we find are not so much for physical adjustments - except at times - but for the quieting of the body and in keeping especially the drainages in the activity of the organs of the digestion and the pelvic system.
6. Hence while coordinating those in the upper portion of the dorsal and cervical, those pressures and manipulations coordinant or coordinating the coccyx center (or the ileum center) and the 4th lumbar with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th dorsal will relieve these tendencies for the feelings of fullness and gas in the system; by the holding of the centers or plexus area, one in the ileum, the other in the 2nd dorsal; the 4th lumbar, the 4th dorsal. One held to the right, the other to the left, for a few moments, will be found to be most beneficial.
7. We would find that a little more of the food values, as has been indicated, would be the better. We would find the addition of Beef Juice to the diet already being taken would be well. We would add a teaspoonful of the Beef Juice two, three, four times a day; not broth nor the fat in same. But when this is taken, sip it. Do not gulp or take spoonsful of it. Sip a teaspoonful two, three, four times a day; taking that much at three to four sips. Let it act with the gastric flows of the salivary glands, the upper portions of

the throat, the esophagus, and the upper portion of the stomach. Taken in this manner the assimilation and the strength as received from same will be most beneficial.
8. We would find the use of the vaginal applicator with the violet ray once a week helpful in preventing growth and in keeping the organs of the pelvis better in coordination with the rest of the system. We would not use it oftener than once a week, nor longer than a minute or minute and a half at each application.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Is the fibroid tumor in the uterus causing any pressure on any vital part? (A) This naturally produces a part of the irritation, and the mental attitude or the awareness of same becomes a portion more of the mental disturbance than physical. Hence as has been indicated, the coordinating of centers by equal pressure in those areas indicated; and the use of the violet ray applicator. These will keep down tendencies for pressure, tendencies for growth.
11. (Q) May it be influenced through inhalations? (A) This is influenced to be sure, but the influence is more to the respiratory system and the circulation by the inhalations. And these are very well to be used as has formerly been given.
12. (Q) Is exercise indicated; if so, what form? (A) Not too great an amount but sufficient for the body to keep an activity away from (that is, mentally so) its own incapacity.
13. (Q) Is the feeling of gas pressure in the abdomen really gas; if not, what causes this feeling? (A) This is partially gas, at times; at other times it is the natural nervous reaction from the feeling of filling up, see?
14. (Q) Is the American Saffron alright? (A) The American Saffron will be found to be most helpful. This is really preferable to the Spanish Saffron, which is much more expensive.
15. (Q) Am I eating correctly? If not, what should be my diet? (A) As has been indicated, we would add Beef Juices; sips of same, three to four times a day.
16. (Q) Any spiritual advice? (A) Keep the mental attitudes constructive. Let the meditations be that the body may be used for constructive forces in all its environs. Hold not animosities, grudges nor any feelings of anxiety towards others. Lose self in the thought of helpfulness to others.
17. We are through for the present.
